In today’s
fast-moving, ever-changing business climate, companies are in a constant state
of flux and their mission-critical applications must adapt and evolve at the
same speed. If software cannot grow with the needs of a company, the company
will quickly find itself in a straight jacket.
Furthermore, an ERP
application needs to let you move forward fast, knowing that you can roll back
changes without downtime.
An enterprise's
organizational structure and the corresponding R/3 implementation created using
the Business Engineer are not "set in concrete", they can be modified at any
time. Examples of possible changes, which can be made rapidly include the
following:
- Addition or removal of entities within the organization structure (for example, business units, production plants, warehouses, etc.)
- Introduction of new staff, promotion, reallocation of work tasks, and maintenance of authorization profiles
- Changes to the reporting or cost/profit center structure
- New and concurrent currencies
- Accommodation of changed legal requirements (for example, new tax rates, new employment legislation)
- Activation or deactivation of R/3 functions
- Optimization of business processes
- Support for new and multiple versions of R/3
In addition, SAP
offers a range of services if you want support for some of these changes, for
example, conversion services to support mergers and acquisitions. Standard Euro
services are a further example of the available services.
AcceleratedSAP and
R/3 Business Engineer take the hassle out of implementation procedures and
change management. Modifications can be made at any time, and the compatibility
of changes can be verified with other configuration decisions, thus supporting
their smooth, trouble-free introduction into the productive system.
