#asccelerate – When SAP projects are geared for success

Does this sound familiar? SAP projects that drag on endlessly, costs that spiral out of control, and in the end, nobody knows what actually happened to the original plan. The question, however, is: does it really have to be this way? No, it doesn’t! With #asccelerate (note the pun 😉), we at scc have developed a process model that not only speeds up SAP projects but, above all, does one thing: it guides them successfully to their goal. We achieve this by making projects more predictable, minimising risks and enabling transparent management for everyone involved. Our clients thus benefit from an optimised process that gives them control over the project’s costs, scope and progress.

The magic triangle of success

Imagine #asccelerate as a perfectly balanced triangle. Each side is important and contributes to the success of an SAP project. But what exactly lies behind this triangle?

Key point 1: The standardised process

“Processes? Oh no, not more bureaucracy!” Don’t worry: with #asccelerate, we rely on a clear process model based on established methods such as SAP Activate, which can be adapted to any project requirements. To this end, we have developed a comprehensive process that outlines all the necessary steps and milestones – from the initial considerations right through to the operation of the live application.

Naturally, we also rely on the standardised processes for Build, Grow and Evolve of SAP solutions, thereby enabling a flexible yet standardised implementation. A key feature: at the end of each process stage, there are quality gates that define the specific output of that phase. All project stakeholders come together at this ‘gate’. And they only pass through it once all defined deliverables have been delivered and accepted.

Key point 2: Expertise and best practices

Do you know what is more valuable than many years’ experience? Many years’ experience combined with the latest insights! Because even though every SAP project is unique, there are still many similarities. We have identified these through numerous projects and incorporated them into #asccelerate.

A recipe for success that we have continually refined. This enables us to deploy tried-and-tested SAP and scc accelerators and design processes efficiently, apply lessons learnt from past projects in a targeted manner, and draw on best practices to facilitate an accelerated implementation.

Key Point 3: scc Project Management

This is where things get really exciting, because in project management too – alongside traditional project management – we take a rather modern approach. This is based on three values:

Empowerment: We delegate responsibility to project team members so that they are personally accountable for the outcomes of their work packages. The project team is actively involved in decision-making and shares responsibility for the project’s success.

Integration: Our ‘Integrated Project Organisation’ promotes collaboration between various stakeholders, such as clients, partners and suppliers. Successful implementation is based on trust and openness.

Sustainability: In our projects, we take into account the principles of sustainable development – economic, environmental and social – to ensure both success and sustainability.

Furthermore, in our project management, we rely on clearly defined roles, whereby all project participants are fully aware of their remit and – something we consider particularly important – confine themselves exclusively to it. A project manager, for example, is solely responsible for managing the project and not for detailed work on the content, even if he or she possesses the specialist knowledge to do so. In this way, we ensure that every participant focuses on their core tasks and does their best within these boundaries.

Why all this? How customers benefit from #asccelerate

You might be wondering: “That’s all well and good, but what’s in it for me, exactly?” A great deal, in our view. After all, in the past, many companies have seen SAP projects get out of hand: budgets are exceeded, timelines are missed, and in the end neither the client nor the consultancy firm is satisfied. #asccelerate introduces a whole new level of manageability and transparency:

Clear structure and control throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Transparency regarding budget, timelines and potential risks.

Quality control at the end of every process stage.

Flexibility to respond to changes quickly and efficiently.

Or, to put it with a touch of humour: “We may only be cooking with water too – but perhaps at a better temperature than others.”

Ready to step up your game?

With #asccelerate, we don’t just deliver a solution. We generate real added value for SAP projects – efficiently, transparently and with quality assurance. Curious? Let’s work together to make your next SAP project a success!
