SAP software helps enterprises to implement business processes. But how can companies ensure that the processes incorporated in the standard software properly reflect their corporate strategy? What is the best way to meet the requirements of the sales, marketing, procurement and production departments in your SAP system?

ARIS Solution for Process-Driven SAP Management supports companies throughout the entire SAP lifecycle, from strategy and requirements analysis, through blueprinting to configuration, testing, training and rollout. Business processes are documented using ARIS Business Architect for SAP and analyzed within the context of the SAP system environment.

ARIS Solution for Process-Driven SAP Management currently supports application scenarios for SAP implementation, SAP upgrade and enabling SOA.

ARIS Solution Scenarios

SAP Implementation

The SAP solution is implemented using the SAP reference processes in ARIS Business Architect for SAP. After relevant process areas have been analyzed, the detailed processes are synchronized with SAP Solution Manager. The AVE for SAP methodology ensures that user requirements are correctly mapped in the SAP environment and any necessary custom features are implemented.

SAP Upgrade

Upgrading SAP systems provides access to new processes, functionality and technology. Upgrades can also help companies avoid high maintenance costs for outdated SAP systems. This solution scenario enables the identification of potential upgrade savings. Existing SAP systems are analyzed for high-maintenance custom features, which are then converted into standard processes. In addition to cost reduction of SAP system environment, the SAP upgrade scenario harmonizes and standardizes business processes, providing a solid foundation for future SAP upgrades.

Enabling SOA

Technologies like SAP NetWeaver and the Enterprise Services Repository enable a highly flexible IT environment based on SAP’s SOA. Although SAP’s enterprise services are easy to use and adapt, the full potential of SOA cannot be realized without the synchronization of enterprise services with business workflows. This requires identification of the processes that provide and consume services. By leveraging process-based analysis, this scenario offers efficient access to SAP’s SOA technology and enables establishment of an enterprise-wide service repository.
