SAP Business All-in-One

Enabling Technologies and Enterprise Application Integration

Oxygen’s enabling technologies can support new business strategies and processes, while maintaining innovation, flexibility and a sustainable cost structure. Our mature systems development and coding processes can leverage SAP technology across all the components in the mySAP Business Suite.

Oxygen uses best of breed tools, combined with robust project methodology and expertise, to build, implement and support new business application infrastructure, including SAP XI, SAP Portals, BASIS, NetWeaver, web applications and web servers.

Where the ‘out of the box’ solution does not meet client needs, our expert consultants can develop customised business solutions on top of existing infrastructure, including:

• Interfaces between different applications using WebMethods, MS Biztalk and SAP XI
• A portal user environment, allowing a universal ‘cockpit’ view across the organisation
• User interfaces for web applications
• Web servers, using ASP, JSP, .Net and Vignette.

Using specialist integration tools including webMethods, MS Biztalk and SAP XI, Oxygen can build interfaces within an enterprise between:

• two or more disparate SAP systems;
• between a legacy system and SAP; or
• between two or more non-SAP systems.

Oxygen’s Web Development team offers best of breed solutions in content management, knowledge management and Web based applications development. The team specialises in the strategic development, design, delivery and support of corporate intranet and internet systems.

The team work with clients to design collaborative web solutions that align with strategic direction. Services include Vignette hosting, site usability reviews and domain management, and we can integrate SAP/ERP solutions with your website where appropriate.

Oxygen allows its clients to merge applications and information through a SAP portal. We provide consultancy services in the setup, content development and production support of a portal environment. The net result is a system that allows your employees instant, secure, and relevant information and applications. Your business can identify and resolve business issues faster, more effectively, and at a lower cost - resulting in tangible benefits and advantage in the market.

All of this is underpinned by a focus on customer value management, robust project and change management methodologies and building effective client relationships based on trust.

Supply Chain Management

Oxygen’s approach to supply chain management (SCM) is both pragmatic and leading edge. It is based on extensive experience delivering over 50 full suite SAP implementations since 1997 and over 800 supply chain efficiency projects for major Asia Pacific businesses.

Oxygen’s deep understanding of SCM across a range of industries helps us to stay ahead of the pack in adopting new solution sets and driving maximum benefit from existing technologies. We enable our clients to lower sourcing costs of finished goods and raw materials, improve customer service, dramatically lower inventory levels and leverage all resources to bring substantial benefits to a company.

We implemented the first SAP supply chain in Australasia and have created world firsts in the forest and mine industries by driving supply chain management back into the mine and forest respectively. These projects are the platform for real, sustainable and strategic value for our customers.

Oxygen’s SCM projects are phased, allowing customers to extract maximum business value throughout a project and maintain momentum towards a final solution. We work with customers to identify ‘pain points’ and opportunities, set achievable targets for each phase and deliver real and measurable dollar benefits.

Our SCM consultants average over seven years experience in the field. We develop client relationships based on trust and a grounded approach, underpinned by a focus on customer value management, robust project and change management methodologies and an effective risk management framework.

Product Lifecycle Management

Oxygen’s mySAP product lifecycle management (PLM) allows your organisation to successfully adapt to this changing environment by managing every phase in a product’s lifecycle, from conception through to retirement.

Our PLM solution facilitates creativity and takes the idea of product innovation beyond traditional organisational constraints. It provides a holistic view of all product-related business processes and information throughout the complete product and asset life cycle.

This applies from product conception, design, and engineering, production ramp-up and product change management, through to service and maintenance. In short, it enables companies to get the right product to market at the right time and at the right cost. Oxygen’s product lifecycle management solutions are specifically designed to target the bottom line. We focus on:

• Reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through solutions that provide easy integration of operational systems (such as mySAP SCM, mySAP CRM, mySAP E-Commerce, mySAP Business Intelligence and mySAP Marketplace)
• Speeding up time-to-market by using a complete solution to manage and retrieve all product-related information
• Improving cooperation with customers, suppliers and partners through an environment in which everyone can share, review and change information
• Reducing maintenance costs and increasing equipment availability
• Reducing cost-to-market by monitoring project progress and using this information to support investment and divestment decisions for products
• Reducing risk exposure by providing an robust risk management framework

This added value is underpinned by Oxygen’s commitment to customer value management, robust project and change management methodologies and building effective client relationships based on trust.

Human Capital Management

Oxygen’s approach is based on overcoming four key human capital management challenges:

1. Operational Human Resources Management
   Oxygen’s consultants specialise in the implementation and optimisation of the SAP HR modules of Organisational Management, Personnel Administration, Payroll and Time Management. We are able to use the centralised SAP database to yield speedy and valuable organisational information, payroll and time data. This empowers HR departments and management teams to make informed and timely business decisions.
2. Strategic Human Resources Management
   Oxygen can develop and support sophisticated human capital management strategies, harnessing SAP HR modules including Compensation Management, Personnel Cost Planning, Management by Objectives, Surveys, Career Succession Planning and Workforce Organisational Planning.
3. Human Resources Self Service
   Oxygen is experienced in SAP Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service Modules, and has key expertise in SAP portals and SAP Knowledge Management and Collaboration.
4. Corporate HR Services Optimisation
   Oxygen has the skills and experience to deliver high level strategy consulting designed to achieve the highest value/lowest cost dynamic, both in the implementation of new systems and in review of existing systems. This includes a full range of cost reduction services for SAP HR customers, such as the outsourcing of application support and payroll.

Underpinning this is Oxygen’s focus on customer value, robust project and change management methodologies and an effective risk management framework.

Customer Relationship Management

Oxygen’s team specialises in mySAP CRM, which independent analysis has shown can increase customer retention and lead generation and reduce both time to market and time to delivery.

Our approach is to build a solution for businesses in phases. Each phase is manageable, delivers tangible value and maintains momentum towards the final solution.

Oxygen’s advantage is an ability to integrate mySAP CRM, R/3, sales and distribution or retail solutions into other core business functions, reducing stock and the inventory of receivables. Importantly, this reduces IT maintenance costs and enhances the transparency and understanding of the customer portfolio. Getting you closer to your customers is our speciality.

We have a grounded delivery approach: we only work where we can add value and build relationships based on trust to lower costs for our clients. Underpinning this is Oxygen’s commitment to customer value management, robust project and change management methodologies and an effective risk management framework.

Financial Management

These needs include managing risks and opportunities, reducing cost, providing more accurate and faster transaction processing, being responsive to budgeting and forecasting needs and providing accurate reporting to the right people at the right time.

Oxygen can help overcome financial management challenges and reduce costs through the implementation and support of SAP projects and initiatives. Our team of SAP qualified consultants are experts in the full range of SAP modules and can undertake greenfield implementations, provide effective systems upgrades and ensure your business is using best practice. We have successfully enhanced the financial management of a number of Australasia’s largest companies.

Our services provide tangible business benefits through the optimal usage of SAP and other systems. We allow you to use a common tool to utilise data sourced from multiple systems (SAP and external systems), yet provide seamless integration. Through using a single point of entry and ensuring visibility across the entire planning process, our solutions offer the ability for more detailed planning and increased accuracy and ownership.

Our experience includes financial management for organisational restructures, changes in company codes, mergers and acquisitions and changes in the fiscal year.

All of our services are underpinned by a focus on customer value, robust project and change management methodologies and an effective risk management framework.

Business Intelligence

To develop this complete view, data must be pulled together from many sources across the organisation. Oxygen can help you convert data into information - allowing you to leverage solutions, technologies and skills in making business decisions. In short, we get the right information to the right people at the right time - making the end user reporting the best it can be.

We can also provide visibility into your entire organisation by leveraging SAP's Corporate Performance Management applications; Strategy Management, Business Planning and Profitability Management.  These toolsets provide critical business planning and simulation, tightly integrated with a balanced scorecard and cockpit view of the organisation.

Oxygen’s talented pool of consultants has extensive industry experience in data warehousing, data integration and functional analytics.  We are experts in using both SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) and Ascential DataStage for business intelligence solutions.

Unlike most service providers, Oxygen can seamlessly integrate both of these tools through SAP BW Load Pack, which allows for the extraction, transformation and loading of data from a wide variety of SAP and non SAP sources. Once the sources have been established, Oxygen can then deploy SAP based functional analytics solutions, for example HCM Analytics, to provide a web based view into the appropriate functional metrics.

The upshot is an integrated data warehousing solution that reaches across departmental silos, reduces total cost of ownership and provides enhanced data consistency and quality.

Oxygen’s combined Business Intelligence and Strategic Enterprise Management capabilities give you the information needed to keep the business moving forward, and the tools to get there. All of our services are underpinned by a focus on customer value, robust project and change management methodologies and an effective risk management framework.
