1. Process Standardization
Establish shared process expectations across operations so governance, quality, training, support, and improvement can be managed consistently.
SAP® delivery and governance
Application Management Services (AMS)
SCMNEXX provides a flexible framework for organizations to transition and manage application activities around their delivery model. The work can harmonize support processes across business units through governance for escalation, risk, scope, integration, reviews, program management, quality control, and stakeholder change management.
The same lifecycle connects pre-implementation consulting, evaluation of SAP ERP solutions, business-blueprint design aligned with organizational goals, implementation, and post-go-live application management. This thought-partnership model keeps application activities and business processes connected to strategic objectives without presenting value extraction as guaranteed.
Rollout approach
Rollouts
Combine SAP standard tools, including SAP Solution Manager where applicable, with structured tools, templates, and clear phase controls to streamline and organize the rollout process.
Build the delivery model around the locations involved and the knowledge needed for local legal, statutory, process, data, language, integration, testing, training, and operating requirements in each country or region.
Use a reviewed library of reusable components, templates, process models, test scenarios, migration controls, integration patterns, and operational checklists across the appropriate project phases.
Global consistency and local fit
Elements of SAP Rollouts
A disciplined rollout moves from standardization through the controlled integration of global and local processes.
2. Process Modeling
Visualize and refine processes against organizational goals before design choices and local variations are finalized.
3. Template Creation
Create a governed global template that can be reused across regions while keeping configuration, data, controls, interfaces, and documentation traceable.
4. Local Process Modeling
Adapt the global template to valid local practices and requirements without losing visibility into the reason for each variation.
5. Merge Global & Local Processes
Balance global consistency with necessary local flexibility and approve the resulting process, data, control, and support model.
Migration: Plan the transition to SAP around data, cutover, validation, business continuity, and operational readiness.
Conversion: Convert the existing landscape with clear impact analysis, remediation, testing, reconciliation, and release controls.
Integration: Connect SAP with dependent platforms through defined interfaces, monitoring, exception ownership, security, and support.
Operating value to validate
Benefits of SAP
These benefits depend on the delivered process, controls, data, adoption, and governance; they are objectives to validate rather than guaranteed outcomes.
Standardization of Business Processes
Create greater process consistency across the organization while keeping approved local needs visible.
Consolidation of Statutory Financial Reporting
Support more consistent financial reporting across units through aligned processes, data, controls, and ownership.
Support for Section 404 Controls
Design relevant internal-control and financial-reporting requirements into process, authorization, evidence, testing, and governance decisions.
Governance of Corporate Policies
Apply corporate policies consistently across units and geographies while documenting approved exceptions and responsibilities.
