Participants specify the approach for their upcoming SAP project (e.g., S\/4HANA implementation in the private cloud, S\/4HANA implementation in the public cloud, SAC implementation, Datasphere implementation, S\/4HANA upgrade, etc.) based on the SAP Activate method. You will develop a common view of the topics relevant to you, such as project organisation, work packages, time and resource planning, and develop a tailor-made preparation checklist for project success. This workshop is part of the Prepare phase of SAP Activate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Structure & clarity<\/strong>: You receive a transparent roadmap showing how projects can be prepared methodically and efficiently in accordance with SAP best practices.<\/li>
  • Roles & responsibilities<\/strong>: Clear allocation of tasks between IT, business and external partners.<\/li>
  • Realistic planning<\/strong>: Time and resource requirements are specified in concrete terms so that later bottlenecks can be identified and prevented at an early stage.<\/li>
  • Leverage best practices<\/strong>: You benefit from proven methods, templates and governance models that have been tried and tested in similar projects.<\/li>
  • Tailored results<\/strong>: Together, you develop a customised preparation checklist that can be used directly in your own project.<\/li>
  • Common goal<\/strong>: IT, business and finance develop a coordinated vision that provides certainty for decisions and priorities.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Companies are facing the challenge of making their IT system landscape fit for the future. Whether it’s the transformation to S\/4HANA, the introduction of new reporting and planning solutions, or the implementation of a clean core strategy based on the SAP Business Technology Platform, the preparation phase determines the later success of the project. This is where uncertainties often arise:<\/p>

      • Which roles and responsibilities are essential in the project?<\/li>
      • How can time and resources be planned realistically?<\/li>
      • What deliverables can be expected in the individual phases of SAP Activate?<\/li>
      • How can governance, decision-making processes and collaboration with the implementation partner be set up efficiently?<\/li><\/ul>

        In addition, business and IT have different expectations: while business demands fast results, high benefits and innovation such as AI, CIOs and CFOs focus on costs, resource commitment and long-term stability. Without a clear approach, there is a risk of delays, additional costs and a loss of acceptance within the company.<\/p>

        This is where the workshop comes in, creating a common basis for a structured, transparent and feasible approach with SAP Activate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
