Yes - We implemented each module seperately.
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled - It is important to ensure you have buy in across the organization before tackling an implementation. We are a large organzation that often does things differently in different parts of the company. Getting buy in for global standardized processes was key, and often took longer than expected.
