mySAP ERP - The big AHA!

product than R/3 Enterprise
(.8 probability).

User Imperative: The question is not “if” to

upgrade - it’s when!
Key Issues

■ What is mySAP ERP and how will it impact

SAP users?
■ How will SAP’s technology and application
strategy affect users through 2008?
■ What are SAP users key challenges in
selecting to deploy mySAP ERP over R/3
Enterprise?

mySAP ERP 2003 Based on NetWeaver
mySAP ERP 2006 Designed for NetWeaver

• Requires Componentization of R/3 Enterprise code within mySAP ERP

• R/3 Enterprise code will remain a “black box” inside mySAP ERP

Result - At some point, users must migrate from R/3 Enterprise

to mySAP ERP

 Measuring Upgrade Business
Benefits and ROI is Tough
Hard Business Benefits ($) must be tied to
real Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
Difficult to Justify Technology only Upgrade
KPI’s
KPI’s must be measured before and after • Inventory level
• On time delivery
any SAP project or improvement

Witchcraft needed because everything changes

simultaneously during the SAP project: Industries,
Enterprise economics, technology, other Projects, ...

BUT: Smart Enterprises can still do it

In tough times we have to try harder
THE RESULT IF YOU DON’T:
Potentially more expensive upgrade later

Six Steps of Preparation for mySAP Licensing

1. Establish a negotiating team with representation from all

participating business units.
2. Define requirements (technology and functionality) over
two to three years with focus on funded projects.
3. Perform a physical inventory of SAP licenses and existing
contract terms; understand new models and terms.
Compare with new proposal.
4. Determine whether purchase can be made under existing
agreement (mySAP Business Suite - .com). Weigh re-
licensing benefits against loss of favorable terms.
5. Balance additional discount with potential shelfware.
