1、,Enterprise Wide Information Systems Instructor: Richard W. Vawter,Objective,To discuss the use of the Accelerated SAP approach for conducting a rapid R/3 implementation To explain how the Accelerated SAP Roadmap is used to facilitate implementation. To identify the tools and accelerators used for p

2、erforming ASAP. To discuss the integration of the Roadmap with the R/3 Reference Model and the Implementation Guide (IMG).,Topics,Quick look at the Original R/3 Procedural Model Overview of the ASAP methodology The ASAP Roadmap The Implementation Assistant,The R/3 Procedural Model,SAPs original impl

3、ementation methodology. Good for large, complex organizations looking to implement R/3 in stages.,The Procedure Model,The SAP core tool that describes the activities needed when implementing SAP. Its like a detailed project plan of all the steps and tasks involved during the implementation process.

4、Tools Business Engineering Customizing Basic Functions Procedural Module Its useful for large, complex organizations wishing to implement R/3 in stages. However, this is being replaced with the Accelerated SAP method of implementation.,Accelerated SAP,In 1996, SAP introduced Accelerated SAP. Better

5、suited for medium sized companies looking at a “Big Bang” approach. No “As Is” modeling as with the Procedural Model. ASAP is designed for a “To Be” implementation (re-engineering). Simplicity and speed of ASAP approach is making this the implementation method of choice for many companies now.,Topic
