 Develop a post “go-live” plan early (Help Desk, Super Users, SLAs, etc.)
 Develop training documentation and “clue cards”
 Train end-users early and repeatedly (it’s just like muscle memory)
Utilize best practice
 Consider a phased implementation based on current environment & requirements
 Streamline business processes with cognizant selection of on-premise, cloud or hybrid
 Standardize business processes

Measuring Success
Leveraging SAP ERP HCM can help HR work efficiently and effectively adding to a corporate
competitive advantage
Companies with a single enterprise-wide IT system can have lower staffing levels and utilize
a higher level of industry defined “best practice” in transactional environments
Determine measurable success indicators (KPIs) and set periodic measurement points
Additional technology can realize reduction in cost of ownership through elimination of
outsourced payroll providers, reduced staffing, lower maintenance fees for software and
hardware, and pre-determined service level agreements (SLAs)
