VarexPLM Roadmap
Your Trusted End-to-End SAP Implementation Partner
We follow proven SAP Activate and ASAP (Accelerated SAP) methodologies for all SAP implementation projects. These industry-standard approaches enable our experts to enhance time-to-value and, in some cases, complete the journey from analysis to launch in as little as six months.
-
1. DiscoverIn this phase, we define the implementation strategy, propose a high-level system architecture, and establish the project implementation methodology.
-
2. PrepareIn this phase, we conduct kick-off meetings with your team to finalize documentation, project plans, and tracking/reporting mechanisms. Additionally, we collaboratively define the project team and outline roles and responsibilities.
-
3. ExploreWe evaluate your current business processes using the AS-IS model. At this stage, our team conducts a fit/gap analysis and presents a demo solution. The final project scope, represented by the TO-BE model, is then defined.
-
4. RealizeOur team customizes SAP solutions, integrates them seamlessly into your IT infrastructure, and performs thorough testing. Additionally, we can develop new functionalities if needed.
-
5. DeployAt this stage, the SAP system goes live. We transfer data from legacy systems into the SAP production system. Then, our team tests and validates roles/authorizations for all users and prepares a post-go-live support plan. This phase also includes end-user training.
-
6. RunOur team resolves any remaining issues, finalizes integration with the SAP Solution Manager for operations, and offers go-live support. At this stage, the users and support team start actively using the new software.
