Figure 1: Changed Business Expectations

In this module, we will discuss the origin of SAP Activate and the changes that it has brought

about. We will explain the changes to the manner in which we deliver projects. Additionally,

there are several changes within the projects and the way in which the customers are looking

at implementing them.

The figure .Changed Business Expectations, shows the key shift that we are seeing in the

delivery of projects. The left side of the figure represents the continuous push for lower costs

of implementation and compressed time to value (which you can also approximate with the

time it takes to deploy the solutions into production environment). The pace of change is

increasing and there is more pressure to deliver the projects faster.

Another change we have seen is the shift from the big-bang deployment projects to more

focused projects that are implemented incrementally in multiple releases. In this new

environment, customers are also looking to implement projects in a shorter time line with

accelerators and with jump-start content that they can start with.
