Planning for Enterprise Systems
Objectives describe enterprise systems planning discuss Accelerated SAP approach
What is implementation?
Working solution:Use of enterprise systems for managing information flows
Opportunity:Integrate disparate systemsProvide real time informationAdopt proven systemsEnforce standardsReengineer business processesRestructure organization
Critical Success Factors commitment from top management empowered teams with ability to make
decisions strong project management leadership adaptable organization defined business direction best people = best results

Project Charter mission of project (main goals) project objectives (measurable desired
outcomes) business drivers (environmental forces
driving project) issues, barriers, or restraining forces that may
inhibit the project’s success project measures (how organization knows
when project is completed and/or making progress)
Scoping the implementation: four types of projects Initial implementations
no prior enterprise system
Subsequent rollouts in other areas different business units or geographic locations
Upgrades to existing system Enhancements
new functional areas or modules added to core system

processes
Big bang Implementing all targeted functionality at
same time Advantages:
Integrated configuration and testing Better opportunity for changing organizational
structure
Disadvantages: Extreme change Complex project management
Phased Implementing targeted functionality in phases
By module, geography, or business unit
Advantages: Less disruptive to business Projects are easier to manage
Disadvantages User buy-in wanes More testing and integration issues

Continuous Change
Accelerated SAP (ASAP) An approach resulting in a quick, cost
effective implementation of R/3 Minimizes the length of time between installation
and production start up Maximizes the utilization of SAP and customer
resources Incorporates a process oriented approach to
training Involves the user community Results in a repeatable “model” that can be used
with other implementations of R/3

Scope BaselineScope
Business ProcessMaster List
Phase 1: Project Preparation Explain roles and procedures Prepare the Project Charter Define schedule, budget, and resources Provide initial training for project team Define technical requirements Prepare executive kickoff meeting
1
Phase 2: Business Blueprint Assess customer requirements through
the interviews, questionnaires, and models of the Business Blueprint
Provide training for project team Install development system Review the Business Blueprint
2
Phase 3: Realization Customizing
Customize the "Baseline" system, which covers 100 % of the organizational structure and 60% of all daily business operations
Check that this Customizing realizes your business processes (first integration test)
Final Integration Test Check other business processes which may be
indirectly affected Design, develop, and test interfaces, reports, and
data conversions
3
Phase 4: Final Preparation Planning for the going live data Training end users Testing: integration, volume, and stress Establishing an internal Help Desk Cutover to production environment

Phase 5: Go Live and Support Start of production operation Setting up support Verifying the accuracy of the production
system Measuring business benefits Optimizing performance
