The problem – from consolidated customer quotes:
"Planning of maintenance/upd/upg is error-prone, not
being intuitive but costly in both time and money…"
… reasons being:
Abundance of involved tools and data models
Missing user guidance on the process in UIs
Sync processes for data at SAP & customers
The solution: Simplify the process by…
… reduction of the number of involved tools
… using 1 data model & 1 calculation on demand
… central integration by clear hand-over steps in the tools

Summary & further information
Innovation adoption touches the areas of functionality, landscape architecture, and systems:
• Finding required enhancements
• Finding the best way to implement them
• Checking compatibility, test effort and defining implementation
SAP provides the tools to handle all questions in the innovation adoption process, but it requires line of
business, IT architecture, and administrators to know the process and continuously work hand-in hand
