Oxygen’s SmartStart SAP Technical Upgrades Solution

Today many existing SAP customers are planning or considering upgrading to SAP ERP 6.0. Beginning the upgrade process with a fast, fixed price SAP Technical Upgrade is the lowest risk, highest value upgrade strategy. A technical upgrade should be viewed as an investment in future proofing your SAP investment, removing uncertainty and creating a platform from which you can quickly implement new business capabilities, lower your TCO, and better align IT to your business.
Challenge: Reduce SAP maintenance costs and provide a robust platform for the future
Solution: Oxygen's 'fast' fixed price SAP Technical Upgrade

 

Oxygen’s recommended approach is to start with an Oxygen SmartStart Technical
Upgrade – a fixed priced SAP technical upgrade typically completed over a 10 to
12 week period, with a clear business case and tightly-defined project deliverables. As
part of this process a complete preliminary review is carried out and rectification
completed for any basic customisations or enhancements completed.

The Oxygen solution has been developed through our many years of SAP Upgrade
Project experience, with numerous SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrades completed (both technical and
functional upgrades).

Our methodology
To ensure the project is delivered within time and budget and with an acceptable level of quality, Oxygen utilises a tailored ASAP methodology customised to ensure the project is completed quickly but also to a high level of quality. 

Specifically:

  • There are formal entry and exit points through each of the phases and a detailed set of documents created through the project
  • Our experience allows us to use our vast array of internal intellectual property to
    fast track the project

Our unique approach

  • A key component of the project is to ensure the functionality that currently exists,
    continues to work effectively for the users
  • The new development system is up and running, within two weeks of the project starting and the new system is fine tuned and tested from then on
  • Our approach enables us to complete up to four rounds of testing, to ensure an effective and low risk transition

Realisable benefits
Oxygen’s SAP ERP6.0 Technical Upgrade provides your organisation with subjective and objective benefits:

  • Lower SAP license maintenance costs
  • A stable version of the latest SAP technology creating the foundation to enable enhanced business processes visibility and management through the Netweaver platform
  • A smooth transition to the new platform with no impact to users
  • A strong foot print to deliver significant business improvement initiatives quickly either immediately post upgrade completion or on an ongoing basis
  • Enhanced ROI through faster delivery time to production
