International Rollouts

1. Despite the pressure of time, how can I roll out SAP in different companies?
2. How can I prepare myself for future Rollouts?
3. How can I closely follow the concern's standard with the Rollouts?
4. How can I minimise the local adaptations in Rollout-projects without compromising competitiveness?

The PIKON Solution:

PIKON helps you to prepare systematically for Rollout-projects, before they are started. We do this by preparing our "Global Business Blueprint" (GBB), in which the following points are established:

• SAP organisational structures together with rules on the definition of new units
• Master data concept (technically and organisationally)
• SAP core business processes (economic and SAP conversion).

The GBB also regulates the points at which deviations are allowed from the standard. For each Rollout-project, we prepare a Local Business Blueprint (LBB), which then defines just the local features and the deviations from the standard.

1. How can I reconcile the requirements of the Headquarters with regard to uniform processes and a standardised system, with the requirements of the local companies, after indicating their individual requirements?
2. How can I show local regulations in our system?
3. How can I ensure from the start an acceptance of the changes that an SAP Rollout brings?
4. How can I benefit from the advantages of an individual system and, at the same time, standardisation?
5. Given the time pressures involved, how can I manage to be successful in spite of the difficulties that are anticipated?

The PIKON Solution:

PIKON understands the particular local features in many European countries and has advanced language skills, so that the users in the client companies can be sure that their special requirements are understood and discussed with the Centre.  

On the basis of our many years of consultancy experience, we can help the client to identify and convert suitable (whether relevant for competitiveness or legally compulsory) deviations from the global standard.

In this way, PIKON supports the complete process of GBB through the LBB through to the conversion into SAP, including data transfer, testing and training.
