It is important to first address the motivation and need for SAP Rapid

Deployment Solutions

Customers constantly face the pressure of making smart choices for their IT

projects . In the process of attaining a dream integrated solution, customers also want to include their choices of best of breed solutions that address individual business issues. But often, this becomes a costly venture, taking into

account the heavy integration costs between several products from different

vendors. Adding to this, is the risk of inaccurate scoping, that leads to wasted

or additional project days.

Thus more often than not, every customer runs into the risk of implementing, an

inaccurately scoped project with respect to business needs or effort required.

3

Customers are looking for

Solutions that have predictable usage and value, that is observed by implementing a solution for their business issues. Predictability is a

common expectation, perceived at several levels, including , scope , costs

and performance of the solution

Solutions that integrate well into the existing landscape and allow non disruptive growth of business

Solutions that provide flexibility with respect to deployment and pricing, and can incrementally help to scale to a large IT vision. Customers demand

small modular software pieces rather than complex software, which is quick

to be implemented and cost effective due to cost pressure and global

competition. Especially solutions providing real time analytical insights are

valuable.
