to be open to implement further innovations at minimized costat any time.

Cost reduction Lower effort to install

functional enhancements,ideally silent as part ofsystem maintenance

Easier testing with standard

test case templates

Within an extremely short timeframe, we managed to implement

functional enhancements around Real Estate Management. Wewent live after only a few weeks.

Martin Kling, Head of Group Financials,TreuHandStelle GmbH

We were delighted that no side effects occurred at all outsidethe activated new functional capability. The EHP conceptallowed us to fulfill requirements years before we will start our

next release upgrade. The end-user reactions were very positiveand no critical issues occurred.

Technical Upgrade Project vs.Enhancement Package Installation

1 Based on 140 upgrades from SAP R/3 4.6C to SAP ERP 6.0. Source: Upgrade Experience Database2 Based on 51 enhancement package installations to SAP EHP 2 and 3. Source: Enhancement Package Experience Database

Based on current statistics of EHP 2, EHP 3 and EHP4 , enhancement packageinstallations are much faster than upgrade projects.

13/24

What the Ramp-Up Showed

Installation

Perceived as smooth and straight forward

Customer should plan for some additional technical preparationand execution effort with new EHP installation tool (EHPi)

Implementation

Turned out to be much simpler than customers expected

Effort

Large effort savings if compared with upgrades

We were 3 times faster than in our upgrade project.

Business Function Concept System behaviour indeed only changed where a business function was activated

Capsulation of business functions using the Switch Framework works very well

Key Message: The enhancement package concept works.
