ASAP-Accelerated SAP methodology

Introduction

Accelerated SAP (ASAP) is SAP's standard implementation methodology.

It contains the Roadmap, a step-by-step guide that incorporates experience from

many years of implementing R/3.

Accelerated SAP contains a multitude of tools, accelerators and useful information

to assist all team members in implementing R/3. Quality checks are incorporated at

the end of each phase to easily monitor deliverables and critical success factors.

ASAP is delivered as a PC-based package, so that - if required - an implementation

project can begin prior to having an R/3 System installed.

process into five phases and offers detailed Project Plans to assist you

(in Microsoft Project format).

The documentation stored at each level of the Roadmap tree structure contains recommendations on implementing your SAP System and links to helpful tools and accelerators.

Introduction

SAP delivers the Accelerated SAP (ASAP) methodology developed by SAP

to optimize the success of implementing the SAP Business Suite.

ASAP streamlines the implementation by providing templates, methods,

tools, and accelerators that have been built on the success of thousands

of previous SAP implementations.

The ASAP methodology adheres to a specific road map that addresses the

following five general phases:

Phase 1: Project Preparation

During this phase the team goes through initial planning and preparation for SAP project

Accelerated SAP(ASAP) Methodology Goal Setting Define project goals & objectives Implementation strategy 1.Clarify the scope of implementation 2. Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources Team Core team+ project team+ consultant team Implementation Sequence Define sequence in project has to be executed Sign Off At the end of phase every above steps will be documented & will be signed off with the client Click here to know more Note: The above steps are standard steps involved in this phase. Depending upon the Implementation partner quality procedure will be added to the above procedure

Phase 2: Business Blueprint

The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how

the company intends to run SAP to support their business.

Also, to refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.
