Solution overview

discoverHP enterprise Application services for sAP Applications.

As the recent global economic downturn begins to show signs of weakening, the pressure to control IT costs still continues to grow. Successful IT leaders will balance the cost-saving imperative with the need to support the long-term strategic goals of their business. In good times or bad, the single most effective strategy for IT is to prioritize investments based on strategic value, and then allocate the resources necessary to deliver results.

For many enterprises around the world, SAP solutions have become an integral part of the business—for everything from managing customer and partner relationships, to driving efficiencies on the manufacturing floor, to exploiting business intelligence and innovation.

An SAP solution represents a large, mission-critical investment that has often grown over many years of updates and expansion. Over time, applications often become dated, inflexible, and highly prone to fail. Outdated SAP software cannot provide the flexibility needed to support business innovation. How do you quickly implement an SAP system or upgrade your SAP environment and simultaneously reduce costs?

Greater valueHP SAP Rapid Implementation Services help customers streamline their SAP implementations while accelerating the return on investment and lowering their long-term support and maintenance costs. This service combines HP’s methodology, industrialized delivery capabilities and concrete reference architectures, and software technologies, along with SAP’s best practices. This enables us to offer customers prepackaged implementation and application management solutions. By driving phased innovation, we can help our customers realize higher value from new and existing SAP investments.

Rapid execution for rapid resultsHP provides SAP Rapid Implementation Services for your SAP environments using preconfigured templates and automation software solutions—along with tools, accelerators, and mature delivery methodologies.

Our services enable you to quickly transition existing SAP implementations to more efficient and easily maintained solutions.

These solutions reduce risk and operating expenses while improving quality and delivery efficiencies through:

• Standardization—Services and their delivery processes are standardized using HP’s Transformation Framework. This framework aids in planning and provides management guidelines, scoping, planning, and management processes. These are all undergirded by ASAP methodologies for executing quality, consistent SAP implementations.

• Automation—HP Quality Center automates test case development and testing alongside SAP Solution Manager, increasing quality and reducing risk. HP’s SMARTDEV tool optimizes cost, time, and quality in SAP development by addressing the reusability of objects.

• Industrialized Delivery System—The HP Industrialized Delivery System enables client-specific cost and staffing models to be developed. Specialization within centers allows for quicker service improvement and business volumes to support optimum delivery.
