The fastest implementation I have ever been a part of was 3 months. The client was installing ONLY to use SAP HR and they used the Accelerated HR Solution (which has most all pre-set config) pretty much as-is. Even with 3 months, it was tight...acquiring hardware and installing the landscape, testing and training will always take a good bit of time even when using a "canned", pre-config'd solution.

Also, as another funny story....the SMALLEST implementation I have ever been a part of was for 5...yes FIVE...users!!! It was for a small, boutique high-end retail store in Dallas and the owner had the money and wanted SAP. They had FICO, SD and MM. Pretty funny little project. 😃

I remember reading about a ONE user SAP implementation located in Germany..
