2. Project Overview
2.1 Introduction
Our proposal is based upon our current understanding of your business sector, your business
needs as provided in your RFP, and . . .
This section describes our understanding of the mandate, the proposed approach for the solution, and our budget and schedule proposal.
2.2 Understanding of the Mandate
We understand that the solution must fulfill the following business requirements:
* Select pertinent business needs or add others if necessary Rationalization of multiple systems to a single, common solution.
Streamlining of business processes by merging multiple systems into a single, common solution.
Replacement of the existing system functionality without unnecessary overheads.
Continuous improvement to provide a fully integrated and flexible solution that allows [CUSTOMER NAME] to change and evolve processes and structures without technical constraints.
Use of common approaches to processes across [CUSTOMER NAME], such as common chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and numbering where possible.
World-class reporting resulting from improved data collection, database, and reporting tools. Introduction of executive information system (EIS) reporting for more informed decision making;
And so on.
2.3 Implementation Approach
We are proposing an approach based upon our proven experience with similar projects. In this particular case, the project will be managed and executed using the ASAP Focus methodology and toolset. The methodology was developed specifically to implement solutions based upon SAP Best Practices. The methodology toolset includes a project plan, step-by-step roadmap, and project accelerators tailored to implementing SAP Best Practices.
Based upon years of experience working with a long list of leading companies, SAP has developed proven best practices that help companies maintain competitive advantage.

2.4 Project Timeline
In our estimation, Phase 1 of the implementation will last approximately XXX (X) days/months and could start as early as MONTH DAY, YEAR (see chart below).
*Insert summary extract of file “SAPC-MMPS-Project-Schedule.mpp” after it has been updated for this project.
Please refer to APPENDIX X for a detailed project schedule. Please note that the proposed timeline will be confirmed at the end of the project preparation phase. We will also jointly determine the best time to launch the implementation, taking into consideration your business, fiscal, and other constraints. (DELETE IF NOT REQUIRED)
2.5 Critical Success Factors
Our experience demonstrates that the following critical success factors must be met for a successful implementation:
Ownership. Visible and ongoing ownership of the project by management is crucial. Senior management must be active and available participants in the process to ensure that effective decisions are made.
Acceptance. The transition to SAP software will involve change in the work environment of both users and systems personnel. Building commitment to this change is an important responsibility of both the executive sponsor and the project team. Solid acceptance and commitment require time. Strong organizational change management, communications, and a consistent training strategy throughout the entire project are essential.
Scope control. This document clearly defines and communicates the boundaries and objectives of the implementation. No doubt regarding the goals the project must achieve and the commitment required to be successful can exist. A rigorous scope management process is required because any development outside the agreed scope might threaten the project in terms of costs and schedule.
Talent. The quality of the project team affects the quality of the implemented solution. The goal for [CUSTOMER NAME] must be to dedicate the best, most talented resources of the organization to the SAP implementation. The resources must be empowered to resolve key issues in a timely manner and possess deep knowledge of internal business processes and business objectives at < CUSTOMER NAME >.
Expected benefits, project objectives, and project constraints are clearly stated and communicated to all stakeholders.
Timely resolution of pending issues to prevent delays in the implementation plan.
