Deployment strategies for the SAP Business Suite 7
New 7-2 Maintenance Strategy – Planning and Investment Security
Before
New
* 7-2 strategy applies to new releases of the core applications of SAP Business Suite, starting with SAP CRM 7.0, SAP SRM 7.0, SAP SCM 7.0, SAP PLM 7.0; plus SAP ERP 6.0 (EHP4) and SAP NetWeaver 7.0. Industry-specific add-on applications and SAP enhancement packages based on these core application releases will offer mainstream and extended maintenance in line with these releases.
** Enhancement Packages: Illustrative only; does not reflect exact shipment times and frequency.
* Overall payment is SAP support fee plus additional fee of 2% or 4% of the maintenance base per year.** SAP ERP 6.0 is the application release formerly known as mySAP ERP 2005.

Mainstream Maint. Customer-SpecificMaintenance
As of January 01, 2009, extended maintenance for SAP R/3 4.6C and SAP R/3 Enterprise is included in
SAP Enterprise Support and extended by one year
Extended maintenance (no add. fee,included in SAP Enterprise Support contract)
SAP R/3 3.1I – 4.6B
Ext. M.(+ 4%)*
Customer-SpecificMaintenance
This strategy is also valid for all industry-specific add-on applications and SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP based on the releases above.

New 7-2 maintenancestrategy for SAP ERP 6.0:
Mainstream maintenance extension from March 2013 to December 2015
Extended maintenance offered for two years to December 2017
Building a Business Case for SAP Business SuiteConsiderations for Prospective Customers
Place more investment into projects that make a difference No integration projects – end-to-end processes out of the box Logical, step wise expansion of your existing SAP systems Greater % of IT investment to strategic priorities of your organization
Deliver better productivity of the organization End-to-end visibility for managers – single source of truth Transparency across all operational processes – streamlined workflow Flexibility to modify processes – adapt to business change
Deliver value NOW…. SAP delivers proven value - best practices of all industries Strong network of complementary software providers – Eco-system Complete set of services available today
Duration and effort of an upgrade can be determined based on system scope and system complexity1. Different upgrade complexity drivers per application to be considered.

1 Other factors influencing the upgrade effort (i.e. organizational complexity, knowledge) are considered in a later stage
“All or none” Affecting the enterprise Requires thorough testing Business case for entire release
“Pick and choose” Continuous innovation as part of regular
maintenance with support packages Modular consumption of innovation by selective
activation and testing driven by business requirements
Available for the go-to-releases of SAP Business Suite 7
For all Business Suite 7 applications: Common release schedule, incremental deployments, and minimal disruptive upgrades, allowing stepwise projects and activation.

Decouple technical installation from business innovation:Install SAP enhancement package combined with support pack stack as part of
maintenance activities with only minor additional effort .
Execute acceptance test (limited
to new functionality activated) Train end-users affected (limited) Go live
Choose ‘selective’ versus ‘broad’
installation approach Identify relevant installable part Download, load, and install Adjust Modifications Execute regression test
Evaluate relevant enhancements Understand their particular benefit for you Assess effort and impact of their implementation Take decision for business functions
¹ Direct upgrade from these source releases to the go-to releases of SAP Business Suite 7 is supported by SAP. ² If you upgrade from SAP CRM 4.0 or 5.0 to SAP CRM 7.0, customer-specific UIs (including the underlying UI-related coding) have to be migrated separately.³ Besides the core applications, the SAP Business Suite provides also industry-specific applications (e.g. SAP Dealer Business Management, SAP Reinsurance Management) and cross-industry supplementary applications (e.g. SAP Portfolio and Project Management, SAP E-Sourcing). For these applications, the usual upgrade procedures apply. For an overview on the currently available and planned industry and supplementary applications, please refer to "SAP Release Strategy for Large Enterprises" on http://www.service.sap.com/releasestrategy

Deployment of SAP Business Suite 7 components based on the process scenario requirements in the scenario component list, leading to different possible combinations.
Use Case Centrally governed SAP SRM Server integrated to 1-n SAP
ERP systems Centralized procurement
Benefits Support different innovation cycles, individual availability Separation of responsibilities (e.g. less alignment effort) Independent scalability & performance Flexibility to change landscape layout
Considerations Higher TCO
Use Case Single System Scenario with SAP SRM 7.0 (with EHP4
and SRM_SERVER and SRM_EXT as Add On’s) Self-Service Procurement (classic Scenario), Temp.
Labor Service Procurement, Supplier Self Service
Benefits Reduced TCO by shared use of infrastructure and one
organizational model Master data distribution synchronously & bi-directional
Considerations Functional Limitations, e.g. no extended classic
scenario, no multi backend deployment

Considerations Higher TCO
Use Case Single system scenario with EM and EWM Add-ons (with
EHP3+ and SCM_BASIS, SCMEWM , SCEMSRV as Add On’s)

General Recommendation Shared usage of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration for A2A or B2B scenarios as well as
service enabling of the SAP Business Suite application systems SAP NetWeaver Process Integration is deployed as a central, separate system to support
different innovation speed and simplified landscape setups Avoid embedded deployment of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration within the application system

Central access point across SAP solutions
You will find information on the availability of SAP component releases (product versions), maintenance end dates and upgrade paths, as well as technical release information
It is a fast, high-level, remote upgrade assessment designed for SAP customers running two or more SAP Business Suite Components (SAP ERP, SAP CRM,
SAP SRM, etc.) looking to take advantage from the latest Business Suite 7 release level
that helps to Plan a landscape upgrade
By analyzing current customer SAP Business Suite Component systems and providing, specific impact of the upgrade in the SAP landscape dependencies between components landscape complexity high level effort estimation Roadmap and timelines
Note: The following results are high-level estimates of upgrade effort and benefits based on system data collected by the transaction monitor running from 1.10.2007 and 15.12.2007 on your system. A detailed technical system review and evaluation was not undertaken.
Customer and system parameters System classification
1 Complexity is derived from the modified lines of code (mLoC) 2 For customer exits, modified SAP scripts, modified DDIC objects and interfaces a complexity evaluation based on modified LoC is not possible, therefore these objects are assumed to be
medium complex
Modified objects represent a significant cost driver during an upgrade. The following objects could be identified incl. their respective complexity to upgrade
