Which of the following systems implementation approaches should be used if you want to run old system and the new system at the same time for a specified period?
Parallel systems implementation approaches should be used if you want to run old system and the new system at the same time for a specified period.
Parallel running is a strategy for system implementation where a new system slowly assumes the roles of the older system while both systems operate simultaneously. This conversion takes place as the technology of the old system is outdated so a new system is needed to be installed to replace the old one.
Parallel change over:-
In a parallel changeover, the new system runs simultaneously with the old for a given period of time. Of all the techniques, this tends to be the most popular, mainly because it carries the lowest risk. If something goes wrong at any point, the entire system can be reverted back to its original state. A primary disadvantage in running two systems at the same time is higher costs. The parallel changeover process also can be quite time-consuming.
