A rollout refers to the implementation of an existing solution across different locations within a company, maintaining 70% common processes and allowing for 15-30% local variations. It involves adapting prior implementations with minor modifications as needed, particularly in multinational contexts where geographical differences must be addressed. Rollout projects focus on local requirements and provide advantages like increased speed, defined timelines, and controlled budgets.

1. An Introduction and Best Practices

2. INTRODUCTION
Roll out term is normally used when an implemented solution at one place is
further implemented at different location of the company group , usually on the
same instance .
For example, for one client if we first develop a global
template solution and went live with few countries in
the first go live. Subsequently, if we include some
additional local process in the solution of another site
and went live on that site then it is a roll out.
It is expected that the global template will have usually more than 70% processes
common across all sites and 15-30% local variation will be there for different sites.
In SAP, Roll out it nothing but an extension in the existing system.
The process and steps are same as we are using for a normal implementation cycle.
There is not much difference.
For the roll out, we need to do the some basic settings according to location of the
implementation.

3. The rollout project usually means Upgradation from previous
sap system to newer version of SAP. A roll-out project takes the main
customizing/programs done for a company and adapts it to the new company,
working only on the small differences between the companies: eg:
printouts, logos, company code...

4. How It Works???
Assume one group of organization is executing SAP at one or more places, then all
things considered, organization will conduct execution of SAP at one spot and
subsequently adopt same methodologies of prior implementation with little changes
if necessary to modify working practices, change administration and individuals
integration to suit organizational requirement.
In case of multinational organization, geographical
consideration needs to be considered alongside some
paramount settings; for instance, some configuration
settings may not be applicable for an alternate nation.

5. If there should be an occurrence of contrasts in processes in both nations, then we
have to be careful. Since the configuration settings are implemented for one nation
may not be valuable for other nation.
So simply need check all the business procedure and after that do the fundamental
setup. In full life cycle venture, we have to analyze client prerequisites from scratch
but in roll out project only local requirements are considered.
A roll-out (RO) project differs from a full life cycle (FLC) project as it is an
extension of existing FLC project.
Now, Sap Support Companies like ArchitectSAP Solution help organizations
in successful implementation of Roll Out projects.

6. Advantages
 Increase speed for new implementation.
 Definite timeline and results in roll out.
 Unnecessary requirements and processes are avoided.
 Controlled Budget.
