The scope of our system expertise
We are able to advise and lead in the following implementation design activities:
- The design / configuration of the various sub-modules that make up the FI and
CO application modules as shown below, to support the clients business process
requirements. Click on either thumbnail to see full detail.
- The design / configuration of the many integration areas that link the FI and
CO modules to all other application modules.
The importance of system integration can be demonstrated by examining a typical
business process, attributing each of the process steps to the responsible SAP
module, and showing which other modules are also affected. We have done this for
a typical procurement process (although not involving E-Commerce technology in
this example) as you can see by clicking on the thumbnail below.

MM-Inv is Materials Management Inventory Management
WM is Warehouse Management
FI-AP is Finance Accounts Payable

CO-CCA is Controlling Cost Centre Accounting
CO-IO is Controlling Internal Orders
TR is Treasury
The range of our project involvement
With a vast experience of full project life cycles, we are able to assist or
lead in the implementation of the SAP R/3TM
financial modules at any stage in the project life cycle.
- The range of expertise extends from the early stages of 'As-Is' business
process analysis and mapping to the 'To-Be' SAP process models, through the
system design, build and testing, through to integration testing, user
acceptance testing and 'go-live'. We are also happy produce the detailed system and end-user
documentation as required.
- This involvement can also include an extended period of ELS (Early Live
Support) with follow-up user training, post implementation reviews and business
process enhancement workshops.
- In parallel to the key implementation activities, we are also able to support
or lead on all related data conversion and system interface projects. The
co-ordination of the conversion activities with the new business process design
is vital to ensure that the mapping of legacy system data is in line with the
requirements of the 'To-Be' SAP processes.
Regardless of which methodologies and logo business partners are in place, we
are able to adapt to any standards and project plans that are required. If
assistance is needed with the implementation planning and management, then this
can also be provided.
In carrying out these critical implementation activities our experience and
levels of excellence will ensure that high levels of knowledge transfer will
take place with the clients own team members. This, supported by the system
documentation, will leave the client in perfect shape to support their own
systems after the implementation project is completed.
We place a great deal of emphasis in the communication process at all
stages of the implementation cycle. We recognise the importance in being able to
focus on the right audiences for key communications, and in being able to use
the right language within each communication to ensure that the message is clear
and concise.
