Upgrade Challenges

Traditionally, many SAP implementations involved interfaces to other legacy systems either through BDC’s, ALE, and/or EDI. Additionally, many installations have programmed additional enhancements and reports in order to keep their company’s processes flowing smoothly and effectively. Some companies have also knowingly, or even unknowingly, modified the base SAP system to meet their current needs.

History has shown the technical aspects of a SAP implementation were time consuming to develop but integral to the success of running SAP. The challenge current customers face is determining how a company can upgrade to the latest release of SAP, while at the same time, ensuring its functionality and processes continue to operate without significant interruption.

There are many possibilities and scenarios to choose from with a SAP upgrade. Some customers only upgrade SAP, others upgrade the hardware and database systems, and others add new SAP functionality during the upgrade. Whichever scenario meets your company’s needs, ManageServe can accurately plan for all of the events in the process and deliver a complete and successful SAP version upgrade to you and your staff.
