Hi

The implementation of your SAP System covers the following phases:

<b>Project Preparation</b>

In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation.

It is at this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your project:

   Define your project goals and objectives 
   Clarify the scope of your implementation 
   Define your project schedule, budget plan, 
          and implementation sequence 
   Establish the project organization and relevant
          committees and assign resources

<b>Business Blueprint</b>

In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb),

which documents your enterprise’s requirements and establishes how your business processes

and organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System.

You also refine the original project goals and objectives and revise the overall project

schedule in this phase.

<b>Realization</b>

In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint.

Baseline configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope),

which can consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting

integration tests and drawing up end user documentation.

<b>Final Preparation</b>

In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training,

system management, and cutover activities.

You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase.

At this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system

to go live have been fulfilled.

<b>Go Live & Support</b>

In this phase you move from a pre-production environment to the live system.

The most important elements include setting up production support, monitoring system transactions

and optimizing overall system performance.
