Innovation Number 14: SAP Lifecycle Cost....

SAP Lifecycle Cost....

The ever increasing Total cost of operating SAP, if not already on your agenda, will soon be as budgeting comes round again.
According to AMR, only 20% of the lifetime cost is implementing SAP, the rest is in managing out the concealed benefits and reducing the overall cost of operation, once it is in.
The recent increases in SAP support costs adds to the lifetime costs (reports still abound about how customers are having difficulty understanding the SAP standpoint that it will save costs long-term!).
So what can you do in the short-term to ensure the board knows you are managing out as much cost as possible and providing excellent value.
Show SAP License Management Excellence – recent figures show that savings of 30%+ can be made when you utilise the latest independent SAP License Software.
Win an SAP Quality Award – through independent analysis show that you have a best in class SAP system.
Reduce your SAP Maintenance Bill – by eliminating resources spent on managing unnecessary bespoke elements. Benchmark figures show that more 20% of support costs are on non-utilised functionality, both standard and non-standard.
Improve SAP Business Process Flows – through standard analysis, prevent costly work-arounds and ‘broken’ processes that don’t comply with the standard SAP business process flows, costing human effort, time and expense.
