My Mission
As an independent SAP professional, my goal is to
help you maximize the potential value-add of your SAP purchase.
I do this by:
- striving to maximize the effectiveness
of your users - that means
minimizing the administrative tasks that they do, maximizing the range of
tasks that can be automated and perfecting the quality of the information they
use to make decisions and communicate to customers.
- doing my part to minimize your risk
-
by tackling the right tasks and asking the right questions at the right stage
of the each implementation process. Mistakes corrected at later stages
are far costlier in "integrated implementation" scenarios - there's much more to
undo - (previous answers to key questions have to be verified) before you can move
forward again. Anyone who understands how SAP works
will tell you there are usually multiple ways to satisfy any given
business requirement. The key is selecting the most
appropriate solution.
Unsound choices can result in anything from
decreased performance to unnecessary configuration or development and maybe even major
system redesign at later stages - although the latter is far less common.
- striving to maximize quality
- this means maximizing the number of core business
requirements - within the given scope of the project - that are implemented in
the system using the most appropriate standard system functionality.
- adopting
a consistent value-add approach to implementing the system.
I do what is necessary to get the job done - to configure the system
to meet your business requirements.
Libraries of hard-copy documentation are not a substitute for effective, concise
document deliverables that support subsequent implementation
activities.
- delivering configured systems, not near-standard systems with custom
documentation!
Some company implementation approaches are to configure as little
as possible in the hope that fewer changes will ensure more successful
migration to production. The opportunity lost here is potentially huge and
discounts SAP's potential benefit to your business.
