Developing an SAP Upgrade roadmap
Detailed planning is key to the success of SAP upgrade projects. Oxygen places a high priority on the critical assessment phase within an SAP upgrade project, including the development of an SAP upgrade plan.
An upgrade plan should cover the administrative and management aspects of the project including:
- The project charter
- The expected benefits and desired outcomes
- Specific project deliverables
- Work breakdown structure
Oxygen works with its customer to help them during the assessment phase of SAP upgrade projects, as a key aspect of project planning and validation.
The assessment provides includes a detailed review of the current implementation from both a technical and functional perspective and provide recommendations for how the organisations should migrate from the current implementation to the new landscape.
The assessment phase also covers:
- Project planning
- Project charter
- Testing of the business case
- Scope of the project
- Detailed activities and roles and responsibilities
- Project budget and timeframes
The assessment phase is important because its helps align thinking around the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of the SAP upgrade project.
Oxygen plays a mentor and advisor role during the planning and assessment stages of the SAP upgrade process. Beyond the planning stages, we act as a guide through the upgrade process and help the organisation get ready for further enhancements within SAP Business Suite 7.
