What’s new?
- Interactive Dashboard: Add or update checks and tiles as you go - You are now able to update an existing analysis using the “update” button on the top right. Also the new dashboard allows you to set statuses, mark Simplification Items and SAP Fiori Apps in and out of scope for your project and therefore use it as project management document to work with.
- Authorization concept: You can now grant access to partners or single SAP employees.
- New SAP Fiori 3.0 design
Activities derived from Simplification Items:
Each of your relevant Simplification Items require different activities to work on, for instance some require your users to be trained, some require data correction, while others require business decisions to be taken or new developments. Some require all of these. While in the past you had to sit down and go through all Simplification Items one by one, no matter whether you are a developer, a trainer or an IT Manager to find out which Simplification Items are of concern for you, with the new SAP Readiness Check 2.0 you are able to see
which activities come with which Simplification Item at one glance.
Also to take the pressure out of the actual conversion project, you will want to get as many tasks possible out of the way already today. For this you are now able to filter Simplification Items for activities that can be already dealt with today and also whether activities are mandatory or optional.
Sizing:
While with the former Readiness Check you were able to get an estimation for your initial SAP HANA memory requirement, you are now able to make a simulation for your target SAP HANA size. This is clearly a rough estimation but intends to raise awareness of the key influencing factors when it comes to database size calculation: Mergers & Acquisitions, new functionalities like embedded analytics or SAP Fiori and database growth. Do not forget about archiving: Your archiving potential has been integrated into this tile now is automatically considered in the simulation.
SAP Fiori Recommendations - find the apps that bring the most value to your organization:
SAP Fiori recommendations are now grouped by roles, making it easier to plan their implementation. Relevant SAP Lighthouse Fiori Apps are now highlighted for you: Apps, which offer a delightful user experience, support tasks that were not supported before and simplify the work for your users taking advantage of Machine Learning or IoT technologies. Don’t forget to set your Favorites!
