The document outlines the key phases and activities of the AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) implementation methodology. The 5 phases are: 1) Project Preparation, 2) Business Blueprint, 3) Realization, 4) Final Preparation, and 5) Go Live and Support. Each phase involves defining deliverables and conducting activities to implement SAP software in a quick and cost-effective manner. The goal is to minimize implementation time while maximizing resources and creating a repeatable model for future SAP projects.

Phase 2 – Business Blueprint
Phase 3 – Realization
Phase 4 – Final Preparation
Phase 5 – Go Live and Support
The ASAP Roadmap was developed by SAP to help customers implement SAP software in a
quick, cost-effective manner. Utilizing this approach:
 minimizes the length of implementation,
 maximizes the utilization of TeamSAP and customer resources,
 results in a “Repetitive Model” that can be used with other implementations of SAP modules
or systems, and
 provides a process-oriented approach to Product Training.
