SAP Enhancements

 

 

We understand that sometimes initial SAP implementations/upgrades don't go as desired. We have a rapid and field tested methodology to get what you want from your SAP investment.  

 

Step 1 -  Road Mapping

A custom designed project map that sets the stage for success by establishing scope, schedule, cost, risk management, test and training. Planning precedes everything.

 

Thus, it is imperative that we understand your current processes, challenges and goals. We assist in identifying your internal champions and advise you on the options. Together, we determine requirements, internal and external resources, and timelines to meet the operational objectives. Our team works with you to establish a precise design document that outlines and guides everything from start to finish. 

 

 

Step 2 – Well-Defined Phased Delivery for Risk Management

An enterprise cannot afford to stop its daily operations and fall behind on customer commitments to implement ERP enhancements.  At Aeson, we design and deliver the implementation in distinct, well defined phases. Every process and configuration change is rigidly tested and implemented in bite-sized phases instead of a huge, final deliverable.  

 

Our phased approach ensures continual communication and updates with internal functional and IT teams with constant monitoring of progress milestones to confirm functionality is on course and schedule.  Additionally, phased approach ensures testing and delivery of the application in chunks so that any early course correction is possible, greatly minimizing project risk, maximizing quality and ensuring that the business is not disrupted.

 

Step 3 - Continuous Knowledge Transfer to Ensure User Adoption

The power of SAP can only be unlocked with the functional end users have a deep understanding of their transactions and own their business processes.

 

Hence, we insist on working with you shoulder to shoulder throughout the entire enhancement process, facilitating frequent interaction with our functional consultants as we go transforming you into the resident expert.  Prior to project completion, we make sure you and your organization can stand on your own and take ownership of your enhanced SAP as self-sufficient users and managers who can continue automating manual processes as business needs change or develop.

 

Step 4 - Complete Documentation for Ongoing Reference

Prior to completing your enhancement, Aeson works with your team to develop comprehensive documentation with the design and blueprint of your changes. The documentation contains the project plan and “how-to” instructions to help remind end users of the step by step instructions to use the system. This documentation provides the ongoing reference as the application development record, users’ manual, and training resource.

 

 

 

 

 

Supply Chain Operations

 

 

SCM promotes competitive advantage, advances business objectives, achieves growth and ultimately satisfies your customers. It’s a process that constantly needs monitoring and always offers opportunities for improvement.

 

In working with client teams, we clarify supply chain priorities by bridging the gap between strategy and design ensuring successful implementation, backed by operational expertise to make the results stick.

 

We start with questions in order to understand your company’s strategy and its relationship with the supply chain: What inventory levels must the business achieve to be competitive? Are your performance measures appropriate for your strategy? Is the risk/reward ratio outsourcing initiatives properly quantified and strenghtening your supply chain resiliency?

 

Next, we typically perform a gap analysis and diagnostics on your current supply chain in order to prioritize the top areas that will deliver short- and long-term value. We focus on improving supply chain capabilities that will have the most impact for your investment and adapt people, systems and technology to support the change. 

 

We are here to assist you in bringing a clear and compelling vision for the future, ensure that leaders are aligned and work together to deliver results and measurable progress.
