Why is project management important for SAP projects?

SAP projects are renowned for their complexity and the considerable time they require. At scc, we know from experience gained through over 1,000 client projects that every project presents its own unique challenges. Our IPMA-certified project managers specialise in minimising risks whilst keeping a constant focus on key parameters such as cost, time and quality. This expertise ensures that your projects are carried out efficiently and successfully. However, the human factor also plays an important role for us in our collaboration: we value communication with our clients based on partnership and mutual respect, which lays the foundation for successful project implementation and collaboration.

1

Flexibility in methodology

Every company is unique, and the same applies to their respective, individual project requirements. Here at scc, we have gained many years’ experience across a wide range of industries and offer a flexible methodology that adapts to the individual needs of our clients. Whether agile, traditional or hybrid – our approach is designed to tackle and successfully deliver (SAP) projects of any kind. This makes us an agile partner capable of responding quickly to changing requirements.

2

Empowerment: The Power of Project Organisation

Empowerment is a key component of our management approach. We delegate responsibility to the members of the project organisation and give them the opportunity to be actively involved in project management decisions. This shared responsibility not only promotes project success but also strengthens commitment and motivation within the team.

3

Enterprise-integrated project organisation

Successful SAP project and process management requires not only internal collaboration but also the involvement of external stakeholders such as customers, partners and suppliers. Our concept of integrated project organisation is based on trust and openness, leading to efficient project execution with minimised risk. This creates an environment in which all participants can contribute jointly to the project’s success.

The #asccelerate process model

#asccelerate is our standardised process model for SAP implementations. It combines project and change management, best practices and standardised implementation processes across six clearly defined phases: Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realise, Deploy and Run. Each phase concludes with a quality gate to ensure that all necessary work has been completed and that the prerequisites for the next phase are in place. This enables us to respond flexibly to the specific requirements of each project.

Tailored Process and Change Management

Scope, timeframe, structures, budget, team development

– our project management team deals with all of these aspects. However, our experience has shown that, in order to prepare staff within the organisation optimally, more support is needed in relation to change, processes and digital transformation. After all, well-defined and functioning processes are essential for implementing changes efficiently and successfully in the first place.

None of this is a problem for us – we’ve expanded our capabilities in this area!

Our portfolio

1

Strategy:

Working with your management team, we derive strategic guidelines for the relevant SAP project from the corporate strategy. This results in a comprehensive change vision, which is communicated to all staff.

2

Overview:

We begin our work with an assessment of the current situation to gain an initial overview of the status quo and draw up a process map that covers everything.

3

Change:

We establish a change management structure with change agents for each business unit. Based on the gaps identified in the process analysis, we determine the change requirements for each team member and draw up change action plans.

4

Processes:

We focus on core processes and specific characteristics, assessing circumstances, tools and expertise. We then define future processes, incorporating SAP best practices. Finally, we agree on optimal processes with those responsible for the processes.

5

Enablement:

In this pre-project phase, we use training courses (e.g. project & process management, SAP Activate, S/4HANA, Cloud, etc.) to optimally prepare all stakeholders for the implementation project and provide them with the necessary expertise.

6

Data and Infrastructure:

In this step, our SAP experts from the specialist departments analyse the technical requirements relating to the key areas of infrastructure, interfaces and data migration.

7

Roadmap:

The result is a comprehensive roadmap with a clear timeline and recommendations for action. Staff are informed and trained, and the budgetary requirements and project parameters are clear.

8

Tailored Approach:

We always tailor our approach to your individual requirements and capabilities. This makes us an agile partner for every situation.

9

Ongoing Partnership:

Our collaboration does not end with detailed planning and process implementation, but flows seamlessly into a continuous optimisation process. In doing so, we continually implement improvement cycles.

This is therefore about more than ‘just’ an SAP project – our change management team keeps the bigger picture in mind to ensure the digital transformation is a success. Whether it’s a training plan or a roadmap – all services are defined jointly in advance and can then be implemented.

Start early

It makes sense to begin the pre-project phase as early as possible, because the more time spent on preparation, the more smoothly the change will be implemented.

Initiating Change

Ultimately, however, every change must be initiated and championed by the company itself. In a sense, this is the fundamental prerequisite for a successful transformation.

Benefit from scc

What is the advantage of our scc method? Anyone who has gone through a change process with us once is equipped to handle projects of all kinds. This is because the core skills, tools and mindset remain the same.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

What is project, process and change management in the SAP environment?

SAP project management encompasses the planning, control and implementation of SAP projects. This involves coordinating factors such as time, costs, quality, resources and risks to ensure the successful implementation or further development of SAP solutions. At the organisational level, process management involves the analysis, design and optimisation of business processes. Through clearly defined and efficient processes, organisations can increase their productivity, reduce costs and implement changes more successfully. Change management refers to the structured management of change within an organisation. The aim is to prepare staff, processes and organisations for new ways of working, technologies and systems, and to promote the long-term acceptance of change.
