Implementation, Project Management and Upgrade Services
Introducing any information technology into an organisation presents risk and it is essential that the process is managed effectively to deliver the fastest benefits and the least disruption. Whilst individual flair and initiative are highly valued at CIBER, these must be complemented by a very structured approach. Our strong project management methodologies ensure that goals are clearly understood, and bring together the resources required to achieve them on time and on budget.
SAP can help your organization gain market share and increase competitive advantage, partner more effectively with customers and vendors, reduce costs, and increase margins. To do so, the implementation must fully support the needs of your business, your users must embrace and understand how to get the most from the new functionality, and you must achieve this while adhering to budgets and project timelines.
To get these results, you need to partner with an SAP services expert that is as committed to your organizational and information technology goals as you are. CIBER is that implementation partner. We provide the people, skills, experience, and tools to help your organization derive the maximum value from your SAP investment.
Experience—The CIBER Difference
Our SAP practice provides project guidance, as well as implementation support to the world’s leading companies. Our project planning and business experience, industry knowledge, technical know-how, and the functional expertise helps to ensure on time project delivery with no interruption to your business processes.
We enjoy a 100% success rate on SAP projects due to the depth of knowledge of our SAP resources. Our SAP specialists are business professionals with hands-on R/3 implementation experience. Their real-life experience can ensure that the software meets the expectations set forth by your business.
Our Approach
Many consulting firms offer SAP implementation and upgrade services, but most fail to focus on the people, process, and technology issues that can jeopardize your implementation. CIBER’s “People, Processes, and Technology” approach handles all these issues simultaneously, delivering the results you expect and meeting your long-term objectives.
People
Any software implementation means change for your users. How your users
adjust to that change can make the difference between an implementation
that improves productivity and profit margins, or a costly project that
fails to deliver the desired results. Formal and informal end-user training,
change management, and business process reengineering are just a few of
the ways we help your people adjust to and thrive in the new environment.
We focus on knowledge transfer throughout the project, so that by the time
systems go live, your users have the skills they need to be more productive
than ever.
Processes
We understand that every customer is unique, with distinct business strategies
and requirements. We focus on your requirements and work with you to determine
how SAP can meet your needs—we have the functional and technical expertise
to help you adapt your new system where appropriate, and to help you reengineer
business processes to get the most from your SAP investment. The end result
is a set of processes that function seamlessly together with SAP to meet
the needs of your business today and in the future.
Technology
SAP’s internet-enabled products rely on powerful computing platforms
that must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can help you select,
size and install a technology infrastructure solution that meets your network,
security, data management and hardware needs, providing a stable, productive
environment that supports your business requirements. We can also help you
to determine whether system outsourcing or ASP hosting is a viable, cost-saving
alternative for your organization.
