Enable user-driven business process improvement without compromising system performance Effective support of SAP system users is a continuing challenge for any corporate IT department.

Pay users to work instead of consultants to program As businesses react to fluid market conditions, IT departments are frequently tasked with supporting requests for specialized updates to the SAP system.

Business users are also being asked to do more with less and need more out of the SAP system.

However, IT professionals are naturally concerned about the potential loss of SAP control and security that can come with pushing SAP process automation down to the system... Read more

Hit the accelerator Doing more with less boils down to getting the same amount of work done in less time. Simple in theory, but a lot tougher in practice. Often times, a custom project for SAP involves meeting a request for a process improvement from a line-of-business manager. After evaluating and cost justifying the request (a whole process in itself), a business analyst is assigned to scope the work, write a specification, and then hand it off to a programmer for development, testing, and user acceptance. That’s a lot of time and money spent by valuable IT resources meeting the... Read more
