SAP Software Suite replaces the traditional IT Development function of a business by providing standard software modules to meet complex business functions.
The implementation of SAP software is itself a complex process as it requires the conversion of compny from the old IT systems methodology to the the SAP development methodology.
Implementation must be supported by senior management. Implementation is likely to involve the restructuring of business processes, procedures and work instructions.
Database sizes and transaction processing volumes must be carefully monitored. Implementation will require a careful assessment of the communication process. Communications include emails, messaging systems and the provision of documents for management and systems maintenance. Legacy systems need to be catalogued, and the impacts of implementation must be logged.
Implementation is a complex task that requires simple and elegant solutions. Implementation managers must focus on integrated hierarchical models with clear check points and clear traceability of work units.
