Building your SAP Upgrade Business Case
An SAP upgrade assessment is an essential first step for any upgrade. The upgrade assessment will help you identify potential upgrade issues, build a business case and define your system landscape.
The analysis will assist in planning for a range of issues - including the expected impact on your business, the type of upgrade necessary and the infrastructure needed to carry out the upgrade. It helps you cover all the necessary steps for building a solid plan before making the jump.
Our strong SAP consulting experience has taught us that the needs of each customer are unique and that one size does not fit all.
Where we excel in the SAP upgrade assessment process is in identifying additional business process improvements that are needed along the way. We will work with you to find the optimum balance of services to reduce your costs and maximise system availability.
At Oxygen we work with you to find innovative and creative ways to extract maximum business value from your SAP upgrade investment.
The assessment helps you:
- Scope the business processes to be included in the project
- Identify key stakeholders and key organisational units to be involved in the project
- Specify the key phases/activities and expected deliverables for the project
- Document assumptions and commitment to the engagement
The deliverables from this work will provide recommendations on the key elements of an Enterprise Architecture limited to SAP as a strategic suite of applications. Third party applications may also be included to ensure their impact on the SAP Strategy is understood and incorporated into the recommendations.
We work with our customers throughout the SAP upgrade assessment to develop a detailed business case, which is based on the following steps:
- Discovery phase
- Analysis and development of project requirements
- Recommend, validate and sign-Off
- Change management analysis
- Create and document business case
