WHEN DO I NEED SAP? CONSIDERATIONS FOR LAUNCH PLANNING
The biotechnology sector continues to grow in size and complexity. As such, pre-commercial biotech companies must adopt solutions that can support their processes today and scale seamlessly as their business grows – all while maintaining a high level of accuracy and quality. But, what kind of system should a biotech start-up implement? And when is the right time for that investment? In this piece, we outline the benefits of adopting an SAP solution for pre-commercial biotech companies.
IMPLEMENTING SAP S/4HANA FOR RETAIL: A FOCUS ON THE USER EXPERIENCE
Implementing SAP S/4HANA for retail requires careful consideration of user experience. An effective system needs to not only function properly, but it should also make the user’s life easier, not more complicated. In this piece, we dive deeper into three key areas to ensure seamless adoption and an intuitive user experience: an agile approach, usability, and change management.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR SAP S/4 HANA IMPLEMENTATIONS AND UPGRADES
Upgrading your S/4 HANA system can bring a number of benefits to your company: increased user satisfaction, enhanced productivity, and more. When an organization is about to undergo an implementation or upgrade, however, there are a number of routes you can take. Should you consider a brownfield implementation, or what about a greenfield implementation? In this piece, we outline common S/4HANA upgrade strategies and what you need to consider before your next upgrade project.
WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE IMPLEMENTING SAP QUALITY MANAGEMENT (QM)
Though standard in SAP S/4HANA, the SAP Quality Management (QM) module is often underutilized due to time constraints, system landscapes, and limited project scope. Businesses should carefully consider their needs and resources before implementing SAP QM. In this piece, we explore some of these considerations and provide insight into the best approach for a SAP QM implementation.
