SAP Upgrade Assessment
SAP upgrades are of three categories -- technical, functional and strategic. Technical involves just upgrading the SAP technology, functional takes it a step further to take advantage of new features, and strategic involves upgrading other aspects of the business, including business processes
ObjectWin offers an Upgrade Assessment program to address issues like - What kind of resources would an upgrade require? How can I minimize disruption and risk? Should I be looking into new functionality? How could this affect my business? If your organization is considering an upgrade, these are just a few of the questions that you would like to get answers on.
Our Upgrade Assessment and diagnostic process
- Cost Benefit – analysis of applicable new functionality for your users and the potential benefits and cost of upgrading
-
Upgrade Planning – customizations and the complexity of your current application will be analyzed. ObjectWin will then tailor a project plan to meet your unique constraints
-
Architecture Assessment – newer versions place more emphasis on backend servers. ObjectWin will assess the current architecture and provide suggestions for an optimal architecture to support the newer version
-
Upgrade Roadmap – the roadmap to upgrade is unique for each customer and provides a recommended approach for moving forward. The roadmap will be accompanied by a proposal from ObjectWin to support you throughout the upgrade process.
What is the Output of the Upgrade Assessment?
The key deliverable of the Assessment will be a document addressing the topics above and will include a set of requirements necessary to move forward with an upgrade, an action plan and business justification for the investment. In addition we will work with your team to provide a presentation to your key stake holders on the findings of the assessment that covers:
-
