ASAP Methodology is an Accelerated System Application & Product in Data Processing. It is a standard methodology to implement the SAP from end to end in the most efficient & effective manner.
It is divided into 5 phases:
1. Project Preparation & Goal Settings
2. Business Blueprint
3. Realization
4. Final Preparation
5. Go-Live & Support
Project Preparation & Goal Setting: In this phase we plan for the project & lay down the foundation for successful implementation. In this, we define project goals and objectives, clarify the scope of implementation, schedule the project goals, and define the budget plan, we also establish the project organization, relevant committee & assign resources.
Business Blueprint: In this phase, we prepare blueprint document based on question & answer database. The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run SAP to support their business.
The Scope Document consists of questionnaire of entire business process.
In AS-IS, we understand the business process from the core team & prepare the AS-IS document according to module wise.
In TO-BE, we map the business process in SAP based on AS-IS document and it is created differently for each module wise.
The GAP between AS-IS and TO-BE is called GAP analysis. Here we prepare the GAP document, where the business process is not mapped in the standard SAP system. Each process has to be taken sign off from the client.
Realization: In this phase, we configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprints Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can consist of upto four cycles.
Final Preparation: In this phase you complete your preparations, including unit testing, integration testing, end user training, and cutover strategies. We also need to resolve all the open issues in this phase. At this phase we need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to Go-Live have been fulfilled.
Go-Live & Support: In this phase, we move from a pre-production environment to the live system. The most important elements includes product support, monitoring system, transaction and optimizing overall system performance and help desk & competency center.
