Sizing

Sizing is not a one-time activity. Sizing is an ongoing process and must be carried out several times during the lifetime of a solution. The hardware architecture must be adjusted to the changes of the enterprise.

Sizing is frequently carried out for pre-sales reasons at the beginning of an implementation to estimate the hardware budget. The sizing in this situation is approximate and high-level because few details are known.

During later stages of the implementation project, more detailed information, which has influence on the sizing, becomes available. The customer's business process and how Infor EPM will be used becomes clear. These can have an impact on the size of the hardware infrastructure.

Before going live, we recommend that a reevaluation of the sizing be done. Purchase equipment as late as possible to reflect ongoing changes during project implementation.
