Methodology:
Our methodology contains everything you need to be successful – identified
and prioritized tasks, clearly defined roles and responsibilities, deliverable descriptions,
prototypes, templates and examples. There are basically 6 phases of the project that need
to be completed sequentially:
The Discovery phase
In this phase our team spends a lot of time getting to know you and your business. We
determine your goals and objectives, stakeholders (internal/external) and their roles &
responsibilities. Understand the business/processes and Map the processes then determine
the Gaps and Implications. If necessary build the prototypes and present the idea to have an
agreement and sign-off on the scope.
Project Strategy and Planning phase
In this phase, our team defines the solution in detail and the implementation plan – what to
configure, what to build, how to build, who will build and when it will be built. This phase will
be concluded with the project stakeholders' agreement on the plans. The key deliverables
for this phase is to have a Project Charter and Implementation Strategy, Establishment of
the project organization, Budget, Schedule, and Resources.
- Project Charter – Project Mission, Project Benchmarks, Change Management
Charter.
- Project Organization – Project Sponsors, Steering Committee Members, Project
Manager, Business Process Owner, Team Leader & Team Members and Quality
Auditor, Consultants, Developers, Power Users, End Users, Trainers….
- Project Preparation – Project Plan, Work Plan, Budget Plan, Resources Plan,
Training Plan…
- Implementation Project Standards and Procedures – Implementation Review,
System Configuration, Programmi
- Infrastructure Requirement and Landscape
The Business Blueprinting phase
In this phase we achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run SAP
to support their business by mapping the process structure and organization structure. Also,
to refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in
this phase. Deliverables for this phase is to have a Business Blueprint, a detailed
requirement documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops.
The Configuration / Development (Realization) phase
In this phase we implement all the business process requirements based on the Business
Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages:
Baseline and Final configuration. The Baseline configuration is designed to configure about
80% of your daily business transactions and all of your master data, and organizational
structure. The remaining configuration is done in process-oriented cycles. The Business
Blueprint is used as the guide for the system configuration. Other key focal areas of this
phase are Initial implementation, System enhancement and modifications, documentation –
Configuration/Development, Defining and Setting up authorizations and workflows, Creating
user documentation, Developing of system test plans, Defining the service level
commitment, Establishing system administration functions, Defining and Setting up of
Quality Assurance and Productive system and Conducting integration tests and training.
The Final Preparation phase
The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, Address
exception processing, end user training, stress testing, conversions, migrations, system
management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final
Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion
of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live ERP System / Custom
Application.
Go Live & Operational Phase
Move the realized configuration/development from a project-oriented, pre-production
environment to live production operation. The most important elements include setting up
production support, monitoring system transactions, and optimizing overall system
performance.
