When implementing a new computer system you will decide to carry out one of the following implementation/installation methods:
One:

The system of working ends on one day and the system is used fully the following day.
Fast and way of introducing a new system, no duplication of work.
Normal woriking operations could be seriously if the new system produces or does not work as expected.
This implementation method is called Direct

Two:

Used in larger where it can be broken into workable .
Small of the system are introduced at first.
Other existing working methods are still used.
This method can be less traumatic for staff as they are given time to familiarise themselves with one part before embarking the next.
Eventually the client will replace the remaining working methods with additional parts of the new system.
This whole process can be done directly or in
Cannot take place in systems that cannot be broken up into workable modules

This implementation method is called Conversion

Three:

Carried out by small groups of who will use the system, usually in a localised area.
As they are trying the system, clients will make a of particular problems they have with the system.
This prepares the larger intended to prepare for these issues and alter their working practices accordingly
This implementation method is known as Conversion

The final possible conversion method will involve the new system being used at the as the old system for a set period of time (weeks or months).

Advantages:
This method ensures that the business can continue with their practices should problems arise with the new system.
Results from the new system can be with the results of the old system.
Disadvantages:
Extra is needed to use both systems in parallel.
This method could put a on personnel.
This implementation method is known as
