What is a feature of pilot conversion?

Pilot conversion is a strategy used during the implementation phase of a new system in which the new system is tested in one part of the organization before it is rolled out more widely. This approach allows organizations to evaluate the performance and functionality of the new system in a controlled environment, where any issues can be identified and addressed. By limiting the rollout to a particular department or group, the organization can also reduce the risks associated with a full-scale implementation, allowing for adjustments based on the results from the pilot area.

This method contrasts with other conversion strategies, such as full conversion, where the system is implemented organization-wide, or parallel conversion, where both old and new systems run simultaneously. The focus of pilot conversion is specifically on testing and evaluating the new system’s performance in a limited scope before committing to a broader deployment.
