SAP Value Lifecycle Manager
Why
You have been developing a good digital strategy and your plan seems to be ready for taking off. However, just like any other investment, technology investments compete with many other needs for scarce resources. You not only want to know WHAT products and services need to address your needs, but also want to answer to WHY NOW and sustain a Business Case, otherwise, it is unlikely to get investments approval from your board.
SAP Value Lifecycle Manager (VLM) helps you develop and manage sustainable SAP investments increasing your chances of delivering your project on-time, on-value and on-budget. With the quick value assessment in VLM, you can estimate business improvements for your organization based on selected business priorities quickly. The output is especially useful for executive alignments as it calculates the potential benefits for the organization or business area (including monetary benefits). The calculation of the potential benefits is based on public data (company financial information) and benchmark averages.
Important to mention that the benchmarks used by the VLM are a result of SAP global benchmarking programs where more than 8.000 organizations have participated, you can access around 50 benchmarking surveys with more than 2.500 KPI’s and over 3.5000 Best practices. Undertaking the surveys will tell you how well your organization is doing on KPI’s or how well it is adopting best practices compared to the rest of your industry.
Finally, a detailed Business Case where cost and benefit timing data can be captured to calculate your project ROI, NPV, payback period, cost of delay among other key elements to ensure your project good health. The data and KPI’s from the Benchmark surveys and templates can be transferred as benefits in the business case creation and cost estimation can be set. The tool allows collaboration where multiple users can work on the same project.
