At this stage, we examine the customer's business objectives and requirements, determine the implementation strategy, suggest a high-level system architecture, and define a project implementation methodology. One of the main factors influencing this choice is the cost-effective delivery of a quality product in the shortest time.

The second phase is kick-off meetings with customer experts and approval of documentation, project plan, tracking, and reporting mechanisms. Together with the customer, we also define a project team and its roles/responsibilities.

We analyze customers’ current business processes using the AS-IS model. Also, at this stage, a Fit / Gap analysis and demonstration of a demo solution are carried out, and the final project scope (a TO-BE model) is established.

At this stage, the SAP system goes live (the “blackout” period). The data is transferred from legacy systems into the SAP production system. Then we test and validate roles/authorizations for all users and prepare a post-go-live support plan. Finally, end-users are trained.
