New Implementation vs. Co-Existence

There is value in each approach depending upon:

Does your current Financial systems meet your companys

business requirements for the future?
How happy are you with your current Financial configuration (i.e.
a chance to start over vs. adopting specific Fusion benefits)?
What are your current operational constraints (i.e. resources,
money, time) and your overall corporate priorities?

Which Business Areas would be impacted and to what degree?

What implementation project size and scope are you
comfortable?
What new Fusion Features and Functionality are must haves for
our company?
