In the above System Landscape strategy, old Development Environment iscompletely lost. All objects, customizations which are not promoted to PRDsystem will be lost as old development environment is not used.

Live Production Data will be available in DEV (new) box. This may result inclassified information being available to developers/functional consultants.

Only rough estimates can be made on downtime of Production environmentduring actual upgrade as no “corresponding” hardware is used to emulateupgrade.

ABAP code change / customizations during code freeze stage

After DEV (new) environment is upgraded to My SAP ERP, a landscape widefreeze on ABAP changes and customization must be agreed in advance with allstakeholders.

In case of emergencies, following strategy will be used.

Assumption:

DEV systems with SAP 4.5B on old hardware is available.

3. UPGRADE METHODOLOGY 

CompanyABC utilizes an enhanced methodology for version upgrades based on theSAP America's Accelerated SAP (ASAPSM) Methodology. As a key element of ourASPPlusSM Power Upgrade ServicesSM, our rapid implementation model is designed tocut the time and cost associated with technical and functional changes to the SAPR/3 system brought about by a version upgrade.

Our mission is to streamline the upgrade process, improve management of theproject from beginning to end, ensure the quality and repeatability of upgrade tasks

and ultimately, to bring our customers to full functionality in the shortest timepossible.

CompanyABC's ASP Plus Power Upgrade Services for SAP combine the right toolswith the right talent to deliver the fastest, most accurate and comprehensiveassessment of your SAP environment, a complete analysis of your upgraderequirements and, when the time is right, the highest quality SAP upgrade at thelowest cost possible.

  There are three major components for a successful upgrade:

Rapid assessment and analysis Clear and workable Upgrade Strategy Fast and high quality execution

3.1 Upgrade Assessment

CompanyABC will either fully assess or validate IP Australia’s assessments for thefollowing primary phase functions:

 Technical Assessment Functional Assessment Development Assessment* Documentation & Training Change management/Operational Readiness

CompanyXYZ& CompanyABC Confidential 

Page 27: Sap Upgrade Rao Ge

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-upgrade-rao-ge 27/53

Page 27

*Development Assessment: This is an assessment of your modified or enhanced

SAP objects is traditionally a long, user intensive and costly exercise. Use of CompanyABC’s unique UPTIMIZER tool kit will dramatically reduce the cost and timerequired for this phase. One of the UPTIMIZER’s features is that it holds it’s ownintelligent repository of SAP upgrade changes, which allows this assessment to beperformed even BEFORE any upgrade operation is performed.

3.2 Upgrade Strategy

 The key to a successful upgrade is a clear and comprehensive strategy thatincludes the following critical areas:

 Technical upgrade strategy Functional configuration strategy Development; repair, replace or re-design strategy Change management and operational readiness strategy Documentation and training strategy Risk management & control strategy Quality management strategy

Assessment Final Preparation Execution and Support

Discovery and Analysis: Your business needs should drive your upgrade process. Knowing your requirementstoday and your vision for the future is key to a successful upgrade. During this initialplanning and intelligence-gathering phase, CompanyABC helps customers preparetheir business case for the upgrade, evaluate available options, and determine thepros and cons of each SAP version.

Assessment:Using the information gathered about your business needs, CompanyABC workswith you to evaluate the essential issues surrounding your upgrade strategy: timing,cost estimates, the, budgeting process, risk analysis, etc. The Assessment Phasefocuses on two primary areas:

 Technical Assessment: Our automated Uptimizer Assessment Tool analyzesand assesses the technical implications and risks associated with theupgrade, especially around custom developed objects and repairs done toSAP-delivered codes.

Functional Assessment:  The new version functionality associated with the

upgrade is evaluated for its impact on your system and your businessoperations. Will additional training be required? What are the costs involved?What timelines must be established?

Final PreparationIn final preparation before launching the upgrade, the findings and analysis doneduring the assessment phase are used to develop detailed project plans, budgetsand cost estimates. Among the other critical pre-launch planning tasks andstrategies are the placement of action plans for repair and correction of customobjects, resource planning, cut-over plans to the new version, training schedulesand more.

Execution of “Go-Live” Support: The purpose of this phase is to transition from aproject-oriented, pre-productive environment to a successful and live productiveoperation. A support organization should be in place to service the new SAP R/3user community to help manage change during the transition and to provide longterm, on-going support. During this phase, various system transactions are closelymonitored and reviewed and overall system performance is optimized. Finally, theactual project is closed out.

4. PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY 

 The implementation shall be based on the Accelerated SAP methodology.CompanyABC’s project approach focuses on the coordination and execution of allthe elements that make an implementation successful. CompanyABC hasreligiously followed the ASAP Methodology in all it’s SAP Implementations,Upgrades, Roll Outs and Support Projects and all it’s consultants have experienceon ASAP Methodology.

CompanyABC understands and confirms that it would follow the ASAP methodology.

CompanyABC would perform all the key activities and deliver the key deliverablesand accepts the Roles & Responsibilities and the Completion criteria as mentionedunder each of the Phases of ASAP Methodology.

We propose the use of Accelerated ASAP, a comprehensive methodology developedby SAP for ensuring smooth and rapid SAP implementation. We will combine thismethodology along with our experienced consultants, proven accelerators includingtools & templates, and best practices to simplify and streamline theimplementation. CompanyABC were one of the first fully certified ASAP partners.ASAP is Sap’s way to exert more influence over the implementation process bytaking steps to better assure results in a market where the software is now judgedless by functionality and more by the ability to quickly get intended business

results.

The benefits that Client will achieve from the methodology are:

• Risk reduction through improved cost and schedule controls - Minimize the

length of implementation time, Maximize the utilization of SAP and Clientresources.

• Incorporate a Process oriented approach - a comprehensive business solution

through integrated components.

• Accelerated business results through use of new tools and accelerated

implementation methodologies.

• Continuing attention to component integration quality assurance.

•Direct access to SAP for advice and assistance.

CompanyABC’s consultant effort will be focused on ensuring that the Client projectteam personnel develop and retain ownership and direction for the day-to-daysystem maintenance.

The ASAP Roadmap

The 5 ASAP phases are described below.

4.1 Project Preparation Phase

During this phase, the project team is finalized and training commenced, the projectplan and the hardware order are reviewed. The project is officially started with anExecutive Kickoff. The Executive Kickoff is attended by the project team,application consultants and also by other key members of the company. This

kickoff sets the stage for the project by highlighting the importance of the project tothe overall business goals and the commitment to the project from the executiveteam.

4.2 Business Blue Print Phase

 The purpose of the Business Blueprint phase is to understand the business goals of Client and to determine the business processes required for supporting those goals.An Executive Overview Meeting will be held to discuss the business benchmarks,organizational structure and the high-level business processes. More detailedrequirements will be defined during separate business workshops to discuss each

business process. The application consultants will conduct the Executive Overviewand the business processes review sessions. To verify that a proper understandingof Client’s requirements have been communicated, a “blueprint” of Client’s futurestate will be prepared and presented to Client  for approval. This blueprint willconsist of a view of Client’s organizational structure as well as a first draft definitionof Client’s future business processes. This blueprint will finalize the detailed scopeof the project.

CompanyXYZ& CompanyABC Confidential 

Page 33: Sap Upgrade Rao Ge

7/28/2019 Sap Upgrade Rao Ge

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-upgrade-rao-ge 33/53

Page 33

4.3 Realization Phase

During this phase, the Client’s project team and the application consultant'scomplete parallel activities. The project team may attend offsite Level 2 and initialLevel 3 SAP training as required. SAP training is now organized around corebusiness processes (for example, customer order management or procurement)rather than application modules. During Level 2 training, the project team will gainproficiency by modeling the SAP System based on the requirements of a casecompany. The training will also provide an understanding of the SAP tools andreference aids, as well as highlights the integration of the software’s components.

 The Level 3 training will help the project team acquire expertise to detailed topics

within a business process.

During this phase the application consultants, with the assistance of the Client’steam members, will configure the business processes identified in the aboveblueprint. The configured SAP system will reflect the Client’s organization andmaster data as well as support a fully integrated process flow through the SAPsystem. A playback of Client business processes to both the project team as well asother key users of each business process allows for feedback as well as furtherconfirmation of the blueprint.

 The configuration of each core business process will be divided into iterations orcycles of related business process flows. The business process flows are configured

in concert with the development of reports, user procedures, testing scenarios andsecurity profiles. The cycles not only provide milestones for the project team butalso provide checkpoints to test and “playback” specific parts of the overallbusiness process. This approach provides immediate feedback as well as involvesthe entire organization throughout the project life cycle.

During the cycles, the Client’s  project team will be working one on one with theapplication consultants to further define specific business scenarios and exceptionconditions. This approach allows for maximum knowledge transfer by allowing theproject team to repeat the configuration of core business processes while also finetuning the system to account for common business scenarios. The Client’s projectteam will complete Level 3 detailed training during the cycles.

In a parallel activity, additional reports and layout sets are developed and tested.

4.4 Final Preparation phase

 The primary purpose of the Final Preparation phase is to complete final systemtesting, train end-users and cut over both the data and the system to a productionenvironment. Final system testing consists of testing conversion procedures and

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-upgrade-rao-ge 34/53

Page 34

programs, testing interface programs, conducting volume and stress testing andconducting final user acceptance testing.

 To train end-users, the project team will train key users utilizing a train-the-trainermethod. This method will help to provide acceptance by the end-user communityand also build the knowledge for self-support of on-line reporting and futureenhancements to the system.

Another purpose of this phase is to create a Go-Live strategy. This plan specificallyidentifies the data conversion strategy, initial audit procedures and a project teamsupport structure.

 The final step in this phase is to approve the system and the readiness of thecompany to go live and to officially turn on the system.

4.5 Go Live and Support Phase

Immediately after going live, the system must be reviewed and refined to ensurethat the business environment is fully supported. This process involves not onlyverifying the accuracy of the business transactions but also informally interviewingthe user community to verify their needs are being met.

 The last step in the process involves measuring the business benefits of the newsystem.

On an ongoing basis, the power and flexibility of a system can now be realized insupport of ongoing process improvements. The system can continue to be rolledout to additional levels, access to data in support of decision-making can beproliferated and use of additional features can be achieved in a controlled manner.

4.6 Project Acceleration Techniques

We use the standard ASAP acceleration techniques and standard templates

suggested by ASAP.

Accelerated SAP is faster, logical path of SAP implementation, guides towards rightsolutions, creates database during implementation process, applicable irrespectiveto size of organization.

Accelerators – Templates, Models used to perform smaller tasks.

 This is the lowest level of testing where the program or transaction is testedand evaluated for errors. Unit testing is normally the first test that iscompleted during the configuration effort, and is focused towards theprogram’s inner functions, rather than towards the integration.

 Testing focus:

Master data

Business processes

Examples: You can test master data by creating a Customer or a customerhierarchy. Creating a Standard sales order is an example of a basic business

transaction in the Sales and Distribution Module.

Besides application testing unit testing is also performed during developmentand even during Technical system testing (please refer to Development

 Testing and System Testing).

ResponsibilityOn Completion of Configuration in Development Box, CompanyABCConsultants would perform the Unit testing in the Upgrade New Developmentsystem.

6.2.2 Scenario Testing

DefinitionDuring the configuration there is a need to test chains of transactions thatflow together and whichReflect important business processes and scenarios.

Testing focus:

Multiple transactions within one enterprise area

Workflow

Business processes which cross enterprise areas

Examples: (of small scenarios)

Standard sales order to a delivery to invoicing to account document andposting. During subsequent integration testing these small scenarios can beused to build larger end-to-end Scenarios.
