- Common milestones, common tools, common deliverables
• Focus on resource planning ~ early scope from each Rollout enables Central
Team load balancing and resourcing
• Run /start the data harmonization upfront before rollout projects

12. ...OK, right, but how about
the story?
The journey from a SAP Competence
Center Manager’s perspective that is?
12
13. © Metso
The Journey Begins late 2007
” I promise you two years of misery... ” /GPS Vice President
GPS organization is rebuilt after a pilot SAP implementation in the USA
- A technical expert with 7 years of SAP experience, but with no previous
managerial experience was chosen as the SAP Competence Center
manager
- SAP Competence Center
• 8 nationalities, total headcount 16
• Located in Tampere, Finland. A few members also permanently in
Sweden and the USA.
• 9 Metso employees, 7 consultants
- All SAP Competence Center team members had a good level of
expertise in their own SAP functional area. Title for their role ”SAP
Configuration Owner”.
13
14. © Metso
The Journey Begins 2008
• SAP Competence Center responsibilities included
- All core SAP development including configuration and customising
(ABAP)
- SAP authorizations and security
- SAP Basis maintenance
- SAP Business Warehouse development
- SAP Internet Sales development
- Metso MCT global process documentation
- GPS release management

Yes we can * 2008
First two projects in the USA
15
” Our schedule is impossible... ”
” GPS Vice President doesn’t know what he is doing, you should tell him... ”
” This release management stuff is ridiculous... ”
You can hide your head to the bushes or start to organize things – if you don’t start
organizing, it is actually better to hide your head to the bushes.
• Good GPS methodology and governance supported getting the work
organized in the SAP Competence Center
• Team ≠ internals + externals
• Clarified responsibilities increased team’s confidence and motivation: A SAP
Configuration Owner is responsible of all configuration and development in
his/hers area
• GPS Release management is the backbone for the development work from
the beginning
* Well before Obama 2008
16. © Metso
Getting it organized 2008
16
• Business processes reviewed
and documented
• SAP Competence Center
’tasklist’, Release
Management Tool, developed
and implemented
• System configuration and
development processes
documented and trained
17. © Metso
Getting it organized 2008
17
• Testing approach confirmed
and documented
• Reporting strategy. Clear
rules of how and in which
system reports are created.
Roadmap for BI development
• Team’s status reporting
established and shared
weekly to other teams.
18. © Metso
Key success factors and takeaways 2008
• Program management, governance and
methodology
• Good support from main implementing
partner. Beginning of a partnership.
18
• Fast reaction of GPS management in filling in the competence gaps
• Strict rules for all the development in SAP global template. Access
to system configuration and custom development only in the SAP
Competence Center.
• Outsourced custom development (ABAP) team in Riga, Latvia
- Responsible of all custom development
- Intensively integrated to the team
- All the benefits of outsourcing. Additionally excellent communication, same time
zone, similar work culture and possibility to travel flexibly to Finland.

Yes we can * 2009
Parallel SAP rollouts in USA, Brazil, India
19
” Ok, we barely managed the first two ones, but don’t you get it... The schedule is still
impossible and actually getting worse... ”
” Release management is actually a pretty good thing – but the release manager is
bothering me too much – he should mind his own business instead... ”
If you do things like you’ve always done you will get what you’ve always got.
• Complexity increased both in system development and organisation. Amount
of GPS rollout experts in different locations exceeds amount of SAP
Configuration owners in numbers.
• Focus in maintaining the integrity of the SAP Global Template. Results vary.
Some mistakes in the system development, but not on an unreasonable
scale.
• SAP Competence Center is getting bigger - tough times for the management
to keep it all together.
* Just like Obama said
20. © Metso
Key success factors and takeaways 2009
• Aim high. Learn from mistakes and discuss with your team and other
stakeholders about them. Staying on the ’learning curve’ is
mandatory for constant improvement and continuous increase of
efficiency.
• Improve your methodologies and tools continuously
• Pay attention to a transparent status reporting of your team’s work
• Keep the scope of a SAP implementation. Create a process for
approving scope changes for rollouts.
20
• Mind the communication inside your team and with
other stakeholders
• Don’t be afraid of the cost, if additional
competence or resources are needed, but don’t
overstuff your team
21. © Metso
Key success factors and takeaways 2009
• Don’t outsource your system configuration or ABAP development
without strict control. Ownership has to be clear.
• If/when you can’t clone – split. Splitting SAP Competence Center in
two internal teams was a success. Both teams were responsible of
different set of countries.
• A good SAP competence center is heterogeneous. Encourage team
to work together, but cherish differences.
21
• Adjust ’best practices’ to the size of the company
and implementation
• Don’t get stuck with details. Negotiate,
communicate and find a solution together with
other stakeholders. Prioritize.

Full steam ahead 2010
USA, Finland, Chile, Peru, Canada, Australia, Sweden, South Africa, France...
22
” We’re pretty good at what we’re doing... ”
The machine is running well, but we can’t clearly see how much fuel we have or need.
• Second level of live site support (AMS) starts well as an outsourced service,
but a constant, increasing flow of support issues end up in SAP Competence
Center
• Transition from Global GPS program to a Global Information Management
starts
23. © Metso
Full steam ahead 2010
USA, Finland, Chile, Peru, Canada, Australia, Sweden, South Africa, France...
23
” Please do the needful - not again! - these live-site support requests are killing me... ”
Never mistake motion for action.
• Capacity planning. Difficulties to estimate how much ’the factory’ (SAP
Competence center) has orders and how much it can produce.
• There is a gray area in trying to estimate direct support to the business and
3rd level support (support to AMS). Required competencies to solve the
issues are also hard to measure.
25. © Metso
Key success factors and takeaways 2010
• Aim higher. Changing role from a ’protected’
development team to a customer service oriented
organisation requires a change of attitude in the
team.
25
• Split again – prepare for the live site support. Make sure your team
and also your system landscape is ready for simultaneous live site
support and project work.
• Set clear rules for the application development. The roles between
application support and application development teams have to be
solid.

Transition to a Global IM 2010
The New Machine
26
” What’s going to happen after GPS? ”
” What is our role in the future? ”
Even if you’re on a right track, you’ll get run over, if you just sit there.
• As GPS program is still in full speed transition to a global information
management is started
• Teams are restructured based on the new requirements and focus areas.
SAP Competence Center is renamed to Global ERP development team.
• Global Application team consists of Global application development, Global
ERP development and Integration teams
• Global ERP development team is focusing on multiple parallel rollouts, but
questions about the future are rising
• Increased complexity of live-system development requires new skills

“Building and maintaining a truly outstanding SAP competence center remains a critical
success factor for all SAP enterprises.” /Gartner 2011
In this business it’s the people who make the result in the end. Don’t lose them.
• Fostering innovation and creativity in solving Metso MCT business issues
- Staying abreast of all the latest products and tools in the SAP ecosystem
• Our customers are split evenly across the globe. A Global coverage of SAP
development serves them the best.
• Making sure that team members see possibilities to develop is critical. New career
opportunities for senior experts are needed.
• Networking inside and out
- SAP Global Template and application development requires close co-operation with your
customer. IT has to be part of the business.
- Benefitting from the SAP ecosystem requires top knowledge and expertise from your
suppliers/partners
- Building connections to other Companies and sharing experiences

Would we do it again?
32 GPS Finland Kick-off – August 27, 2009
• Was it really 2 years of misery?
- Yes (actually a little bit longer than
that).
• Was the schedule impossible?
- Well... It is a matter of faith IMHO.
• Do you miss your ’expert’ years?
- Not really. That kind of experience
has been a good help in this job
though.
• Would you do it again?
- Absolutely.
• So, what’s next?
- Optimization of the global SAP
template and innovation for the
benefit of our customer.
