Implementation Methodology

Brio delivers its project by using The SAP^® ASAP Focus methodology. This proven and tested methodology over decades aims at quick implementation of SAP Business One within decided budgets and time frame.

Under this approach Brio team works with the business and IT team of the organization to help improve their business processes, identify to-be processes and map their business requirements to the functionality available in the SAP application through configuration and customization. Extensive testing and effective change management are key elements of this project. The key phases and activities are defined by SAP’s ASAP methodology as highlighted below.

Phase 1 – Project Preparation

The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for the project. Every project has its own unique objectives, scope, and priorities. The steps in Phase 1 identify and plan the primary focus areas to be considered.

During this phase, we will undertake the following activities:

• Definition of project goals and objectives
• Clarification of implementation scope
• Definition of implementation strategy
• Definition of overall project schedule and implementation sequence
• Establishment of the project organization and committees
• Assignment of resources

Addressing these issues early in the implementation provides a solid foundation for the project and helps ensure that the project proceeds efficiently.

Phase 2 – Business Blueprint

The purpose of this phase is to create the business blueprint, which is detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. The business blueprint documents the business process requirements of the company and helps to illustrate how the company intends to run its business within the SAP Business One.

Other activities in this phase include:

• Refinement of the original project goals and objectives
• Definition of the baseline scope
• Refinement of the overall project schedule and implementation sequence

Phase 3 – Realization

The purpose of this phase is to implement business and process requirements based on the business blueprint. The objectives are as follows:

• Final implementation in the system
• Overall test
• Release of the system for production (live) operation

Phase 4 – Final Preparation

The final preparation includes testing, end-user training, system management, and cutover activities. The final preparation phase also serves to resolve all crucial open issues. On successful completion of this phase, the customer’s business will be ready to run with the new live SAP Business One.

Phase 5 – Go-Live and Support

The purpose of this phase is to cut over to live productive operation and to continuously support and improve live operations. This phase encompasses two distinct periods, as follows:

Project End

• When the system first goes live, all issues and problems will have been resolved, transition to the production support team will have been finalized, knowledge transfer will have been completed, and the project will have been signed off.

Continuous Improvement

• 
  Once the project is complete, the production support team will monitor the system and resolve live business process issues. Proper change management procedures will be established, and ongoing end-user training will be conducted. Plans will be made to continuously review and improve business processes.
