Rolling Out Systems and Applications
VMS improves the planning of SAP rollouts.
VMS regularly supports rollout projects, because the forecasting methods based on the VMS Benchmark and VMS’s reference database utilize the experiences gained at many other companies, using SAP on a large scale.
Typical tasks include:
- Support in establishing the optimal operational environment. This is based on prognoses (forecasts) of the operating costs of the planned SAP system. These prognoses are used to plan and control the infrastructure of server systems, the software, and support to be established.
- Sizing. The basis of this is the planning data determined by VMS, and later, the measurement data of the actual system, as well as comparative data from the VMS benchmark.
- If the systems operations and application management for the new SAP system are to be outsourced to internal or external service providers, VMS will assist you in negotiations with these providers, and will advise you on all matters concerning design that arise, such as defining the Service Level Agreement (SLA), and dimensioning the IT servers.
- VMS also offers additional competent support in evaluation, planning and classifying the resulting costs, based on data available to VMS.
Customer Story
“The ‘Performance Health Check’ is comparable to medical preventive measures and is thus a MUST for all SAP applications, if you have the desire to provide your customers with optimal performance.
We feel like we are well equipped with our ERP system for the coming two to three years. After that, we will definitely carry out a ‘health check’ with VMS, in order to discover any hidden problems.”
