Implementing or upgrading SAP is an investment and effort that begins with strategic planning and extends into implementation and beyond. To achieve the desired return on investment (RoI), organisations should seek to implement an ERP solution such as SAP that helps integrate and streamline business processes and technology. This could help companies realise potential process and control efficiencies, cost reductions and effective compliance management. Therefore, to unlock business value and improve performance, organisations need to align SAP functionality with business goals – aspects of which we have been covering in our advisory and implementation assignments on the SAP platform over the past decade and half for clients across the world.
