Global IDs Inc. specializes in providing a full range of consulting services for both local and global SAP BW implementations.
We have implemented many SAP BW environments for large US-based customers. Our projects have ranged from BW Requirements Planning, to Full Life Cycle BW Implementations.
Global IDs BW Services Projects help companies quickly implement BW environments on a limited budget. Our consultants can assist in all aspects of planning, assessment, and delivery of SAP BW projects. By using industry best practices and hard-earned knowledge from successful BW implementations, we can guide companies through the complexities associated with BW projects.
Most of our BW Projects are broken down into 4-8 week phases. The key phases of a BW project are:
BW Assessment
Most companies that have an interest in SAP BW generally desire to understand the cost implications of a BW implementation prior to committing to the project. Global IDs offers:
- Assessment of Cost Implications
- Forecasting of Implementation and Maintenance costs
- Presentation of the Value and Computed ROI
- Assessment of Technical Infrastructure
- Project Planning and Implementation Proposals
- Assessment of Organizational Change Requirements
BW Technical Infrastructure Setup
The typical technical infrastructure setup for the SAP R3 environment includes:
- Setup of Hardware Infrastructure
- Installation of SAP BW Software
- Establishing R3 Connectivity
- Testing of Data Flow
BW Pilot Implementation
During the Pilot Implementation, Business Content from a specific analysis area (e.g. Sales Analysis, Accounts Receivable, Procurement etc) is activated and configured to accept data from the SAP R3 environment. Typical tasks during this implementation include:
- Activation of Standard Infocubes
- Creation of Standard Reports
- Demonstration of Standard Queries
- Organizational Buy-In is obtained
* No customizations are performed during this phase
BW Project Implementation and Rollout
Global IDs uses a modified version of the ASAP methodology to ensure a robust BW environment is implemented, tested, and delivered. The project milestones include the following:
- Blueprinting
- Realization
- Roll Out
- Post-Implementation Support
- Organizational Change Management
BW Maintenance
Once the BW environment is implemented, tested, and delivered, we can perform the maintenance using both onsite and offsite resources. Our maintenance contracts ensure that the customer can depend on us for:
- Troubleshooting and Error Correction
- Creation of New Infocubes
- Customization of reports
- Archiving and Storage
- Data Maintenance
Focus
In most of our SAP BW customers engagements, we focus on
- SAP BW Implementations requiring significant integration non-SAP data
- Reconciliation of Master Data
- Data Harmonization and Data Quality Management
Our consultants bring 5-10 years of experience in these areas. We can provide the leadership, from both a project management and technical leadership perspective. We prefer to take technical leadership roles in most of our SAP projects. Occasionally we provide consultants for staff augmentation.
Differentiation
We recognize that our customers have many choices in selecting a data integration services firm. Our track record of long term client relationships is based on
- Depth of Expertise and Credentials in SAP Data Integration.
- Many references for SAP BW Implementation
- Competitive cost savings over other vendors in this space.
In addition, Global ID's software products can complement SAP to shorten the SAP deployment life cycle.
