ROLLOUT PROJECT:
Rollout exactly means, expanding the business after Implementation.
An Organization which is started in one country, expanding their services to other countries, follows Rollout.
Exactly in Rollout we can find that the Organization works accordingly to Government there in other countries like
Taxation: As the taxation will be different in other countries. Ex: Some allowances, Income Tax, etc.
Master Data: As the new employees join the organization
So many modifications should be done according to Country.
So Rollout is little tough but effective after completion.
SUPPORT PROJECT:
After Implementation completed, Support is in Action.
That’s same as an exam you had written in a stipulated time of 3 Hours, lastly 10 minutes before giving the answer
sheet to Examiner, you will verify for any unanswered questions, unexplained etc.
But in our scenario Implementation errors will be rectified in Support ( i.e. Answer sheet is again given to add or
change) by USER by arising a Ticket to solve the bug.
*We use Remedy as a Ticketing tool for tracking the issues/tickets/calls*

SAP UPGRADE PROJECT:

SAP Upgrade means upgrading the software with a latest version which has got more advantages (i.e. Bugs fixed
compared to previous version)
Example: Just think, this is out of topic but easy to describe the above concept easily. Android Phone with Version
2.2 upgraded to 4.2 will have same features but interfaces change at a great look)
we can upgrade form SAP 5.0 to 6.0 (Example).
