The implementation strategy
On global rollouts, single-instance versus multi-instance is a key implementation decision. Leverage the following pointers to decide:
- Localizations / countries / legal requirements
- Security, data privacy / SOX
- Connectivity (network latency) / performance
- Maintainability / deployment / downtime for maintenance
- Risk management for solution conflicts
- Costs: licensing, support, upgrade
- Shared services, intercompany transactions, master data management
