The ValueSAP Lifecycle Approach

OPERATIONS & CONTINUOUSBUSINESS IMPROVEMENT

Assess baseline value for ongoingbusiness performanceMeasure business performanceagainst industry best practicesJustify continuous business changeand performance tuningRealize continuous improvement

EVALUATION

Develop IT/Bus Process strategyIdentify business solutionAlign industry solution with keyperformance indicators (KPIs)Estimate total cost of ownershipUse integrated content todevelop business case

DISCOVERY

Account Planning

Lead GenerationQualification of Opportunity

IMPLEMENTATION

Incorporate business case as part of ASAPmethodologyEnsure KPIs are measured throughoutimplementationUse business case for scope/change controlUse integrated content to monitor project riskperformance

The key to continuous value generation is a cyclical review & adaptation of company strategy,business processes and supporting information technology that reflects a changing environment. This

is the ultimate goal of SAPs life cycle approach

SAP took a big step in providing AcceleratedSAP, a consistent repeatable method of implementing

SAP Solutions. Under ValueSAP, the same rigorous focus is applied to both the pre-implementation

or evaluation phase, as well as the post implementation or continuous business improvement

phase as identified in the ASAP methodology.

The life cycle approach to ValueSAP focuses on three distinct phases covering:

Discovery and Evaluation; Implementation; Operations and Continuous Improvement. Each phaseemploys proven , methodologies, tools, as well as content and programs that have been enhanced

to identify the key business processes and measure their value to the organization.

The life cycle, as depicted by the graphic you see here, introduces the key attributes of ValueSAP.

Namely the benefit of taking a long term, strategic view of IT deployment. The concept of

continuous assessment of the value brought to a business by a well planned, implemented and

managed IT infrastructure and the use of specific measurement to indicate performance in key

business processes as a basis for value calculation as well as continuous improvement.

mySAP.com Workplace and Marketplace, BusinessInformation Warehouse, Advanced Planner and Optimizer,Strategic Enterprise Management, Customer RelationshipManagement, Business to Business Procurement are keycomponents

From an internal perspective, SAP has also adapted to changing business requirements. We began byproviding high quality products with rich functionality and a solid technology infrastructure all

underpinned with strong services and support.

Together with our Partners, we helped customers deploy SAP systems quickly and efficiently on

time and to budget. The development of methodologies and tools like AcceleratedSAP coupled with

a rich portfolio of service products meant that we could reduce what you might call time to market.

Then we further strengthened our offerings with the Industry Solution Maps to improve the speed

and quality of knowledge transfer and increase our focus on industry solutions. The next logical step

for SAP as an organization was to extend the use of these tried and tested tools and methodologies

and change the emphasis further reduced time to time to benefit.

The ValueSAP framework takes us to this next step.This means offering customers the ability toidentify and define a cohesive IT strategy, build the appropriate SAP infrastructure with specific

performance measurement in mind and then track the economic benefit derived from improved

business processes. This framework sits fairly and squarely over the life cycle concept we discussed

earlier.

ValueSAP Framework 2000

This ValueSAP Map has been devised to help visualize how the components fit together.

The life cycle phases appear as columns left to right across the map. Each ValueSAP component is

classified as either methodology, tool, content, or program. Each of these has a specific role at a

specific point in the life cycle. All components combine to create a powerful enabling framework to

support the delivery of mySAP.com.

Methodologies are based on a standard set of process steps, & utilize templates and accelerators to

guide evaluation teams to complete tasks quickly & efficiently. Methodologies: Customer Solution

Strategy (Evaluation), Accelerated SAP/Global ASAP (implementation), Continuous Business

Improvement

Tools support the process of following a methodology. They are enriched by specific content

bringing real depth and substance to each phase of the life cycle. Tools: IDES (link to web demo),Solution Map composer, Q&Adb/Diagram Explorer, IMG, RBE, Project Estimator

Programs leverage the methodologies, tools and content with a specific purpose in mind. For

instance the Accelerated Solution program is designed specifically for delivering tailored SAP

solutions to small and medium size businesses. Programs: Team SAP, CCC, Review Program,

Accelerated Solutions/Ready to Work
