General Questions
How many of you are still deciding whether or not to
upgrade your R/3 system?
How many of you understand the business benefits ofESA and NetWeaver?
How many of you have secured approval to move
forward with a mySAP ERP upgrade? How many of you have actually started your upgrade
project?

Before We Get Started
Top 3 reasons why SAP customers havent upgraded yet:
1. I really enjoy all the calls from systems integrators asking me
if I need help it helped me miss the calls from politicians
during last falls election
2. My end users dont like change they also want to keep
their Beta-max VCRs, 8-Track tape players, and rotary
dial phones3. I was ready to upgrade to mySAP ERP March 26, 8 a.m.
version when SAP announced a 3:45 p.m. versionand Ive
heard rumors of a 7:56 p.m. version!

Customers at a Crossroad
Todays business environment is VERY different fromwhen R/3 was originally inst ituted Change is a constant and the veloci ty is increasing
Self-service and collaboration are givens
There is less t ime to operationalize business changes There is a new generation of technology savvy users
The original IT strategy and architecture is likely morethan 5 years old Business has changed
Technology has matured New demands are being placed on IT everyday
SAP has moved in the integration space
SAP has undergone a Step Change in itsarchitecture and solutions Increased collaboration, integration, analytical
capability
Increased capabili ties in data and information mgmt.

Conducting the Project Assessment: Fact Finding
mySAP ERP can be a complex proposition with many
moving parts
Before asking for approval, you will need to have all ofyour facts compiled and documented:
What areas of functionality do we use today?
What legacy/third-party applications are sti ll being leveraged
and why?
What new features or functionality can we use after the upgrade
(e.g., ECC, SAP NetWeaver) and what are their prerequisites?
What are the current support issues in your environment? What projects are active and what projects are scheduled to
start in the next six months to one year?

Conducting the Project Assessment: Fact Finding
Conducting a formal assessment workshop can provide: An excellent opportunity to educate people
A start to the process of building excitement
Establishment of buy-in from the business units
Momentum from the business units up through the project
sponsors and CXO levels
Be realistic about the potential organizational problemsyou can solve, as well as the costs and resources
associated with your upgrade
Identify upgrade benefits that can justify the upgradecosts (e.g., legacy decommissioning, maintenance,
process improvements, hardware consolidations/
migrations)

Project Assessment Summary
Summary
Take time to conduct the assessment the deliverables from
this phase will save time and effort later
Gain famil iarity will all the functional deltas between your
current R/3 release and mySAP ERP (the earlier your source
release, the greater the deltas)
Involve both IT and the business Understand project challenges and roadblocks
Competing projects
Current project support issues Business issues (mergers or acquisitions)
Getting this part right can accelerate securing project approval!
8/7/2019 mySAP ERP Upgrade Plan

Conducting the Project Assessment
Avoid these pitfalls:
Dont make decisions without
considering the entire
architecture and
interdependencies
Properly estimate all of your
costs (e.g., HW, SW, resource
backfill)
Be realistic when determining
items that could/should be in
scope (e.g., SAP NetWeaver
components)
Dont oversell the scope to thebusiness until the project has
been finalized and approved
An upgrade from a pre-4.6
release may require more time
The number of customizations
and SAP modifications wi llimpact the assessment time
The number of SAP components
may impact time
Beware of hidden costs; such astechnical rework and
optimization)
Finally, the number of SAP
modules may impact the time

Be sure to document long-term
opportunities of the mySAP ERP

replacement with SAP NetWeaver)
Socialize the benefits within the
organization
Remember: Think 3-5 years out!
Dont
Dont over-commit business
benefits dont paint too
rosy a picture!
Always remember: There is a
potential roadblock to success
based on a disconnect between IT
and the business they can have
very different views of benefitsand ROI
Dont try to do everything at once
Do not fail to continue to measure
the benefits throughout the project

Determining Scope, Timeline, and Costs
The key to successfully planning an upgrade project is to
have a complete understanding of the following areas:
Scope
Is this a technical upgrade or will you be adding
new functionality?
What is the strategy for Unicode conversion?
What are the infrastructure impacts? Approach
Is the project phased?
What is the projects roadmap and timeline? Cost
Provide a total project cost with capital vs. operating
expense breakout
8/7/2019 mySAP ERP Upgrade Plan
29/50
29
Key Questions That Impact Project Scope
Will you conduct a technicalupgrade? Or a functionalupgrade?
If technical, what are your plans for leveraging your new
platform?
Are you decommissioning workarounds?
Incorporating in to ECC?
Re-developing using SAP NetWeaver?
Will you be implementing new functionality/features?
What new modules should you implement? (e.g., MM/SD?)
Can you take advantage of new capabili ties (SAP
NetWeaver, BI, MSS, ESS)?
8/7/2019 mySAP ERP Upgrade Plan
30/50

Reasons for Upgrading
To take advantage of new functional capabilities
To position your enterprise platform for futurefunctional enhancements, business changes
Deploy a more flexible platform
To reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
To achieve compliance
None of these are mutually exclusive!

Technical Upgrades: Fact or Fiction?
Purely technical upgrades usually do not exist: Most upgrade projects involve adding new features and
functionality, such as:
New transaction codes New functionality
New screens and fields
New security features New reports
Decommissioning workarounds and replacing with new
standard out-of-the-box functionality
If on an earlier release of SAP (e.g., 3.1i) limit the scope of themySAP ERP upgrade theres a lot of change in the ECC alone
Its hard to justify the cost/benefit for a pure
technical upgrade project

In Summary: Document the Final Scope
Determine the final scope:
Type of upgrade (e.g., new functionality, modules)
Areas for improvement
Current issues
Available budget and resource
Pitfalls:
Pay attention to the complexity of the interdependencies
presented by the mySAP ERP architecture
Identify the project sponsors and align the scope accordingly

Determine the Project Approach and Timeline
Many factors should be considered when establishing
your upgrade project approach:
The project roadmap (whats in scope?)
Project timing (when?)
Project phases (big bang or phased rollout of functionality?)
Project constraints (organizational activity)
Skills/resource availabil ity
