SAP Implementation Services
Sumeru Consulting offers a range of SAP implementation services including new implementations, version upgrades and migrations from other packages to SAP. It uses the standard Accelerated SAP (ASAP) Methodology, enhanced by expertise in the Dual Shore Delivery Model. Alliances with globally reputed consulting companies help bring in strong skills in program management and change management, which are vital for the success of large and complex implementations involving a multiplicity of existing systems, locations and business units.
The standard ASAP phases from ‘Project Preparation’ through ‘Go Live & Support’ need no elaboration. Mentioned below are some of the enhanced elements of ASAP Methodology:
Change Management
For large and complex projects, Sumeru Consulting includes change management experts in its implementation team. The company suggests methods like training, communication and team building workshops to bring about change management.
Dual Shore Delivery Model
The dual shore delivery model works by breaking down a project into various phases, and selecting the physical location for the execution of each phase in such a manner that time-to-market is reduced, quality is maintained (if not improved) and costs are brought down.
Training
For SAP product training, Sumeru Consulting follows the training guidelines provided in the ASAP methodology. During the ‘Business Blueprint’ phase, the ‘To-Be’ processes are finalized. During the ‘Realization ‘phases, the individual processes in various modules are tested with the super users and, simultaneously, training material for the end-user training is prepared. The end-user training is done during the ‘Final Preparation’ phase as per the standard ASAP methodology. The delivery will include a training framework. Sumeru Consulting develops training manuals and conduct training in accordance with the training plan.
