Impact Analysis

SAP Business and Impact Analysis is designed for implementation consultants, business analysts and implementation team members. This workshop provides participants with skills and resources that ensure that SAP business solutions are aligned on critical business requirements. Emphasis is on how to best leverage SAP best practices to generate customer value.

With the SAP ERPSim, participants gain a hands-on understanding of the value of process integration across multiple SAP modules, the critical nature of collaboration and the types of decisions business users need to make to impact critical business performance indicators. They also gain direct experience observing how people under pressure often fail to communicate needs, goals and requirements completely or precisely. This understanding enhances consultants' ability to engage their customers in valuefocused requirements gathering.

Just like the ERPtips Journal, our training covers the entire SAP product line, from core SAP modules like Financials, Logistics, and HR/HCM, to NetWeaver-based components, to SAP's Business Suite applications, including CRM, SCM, and SRM. We train SAP implementation team members and super-users on any issues covered in the standard SAP course catalog, and we go beyond that to offer cutting edge configuration and reporting techniques that can fill the gap in your SAP know-how.

We help SAP clients and consultants solve business and technical problems with our library of undocumented features, timesaving solutions, and best practices. Request a free sample issue of ERPtips Journal.

Testimonials

"The ERPtips instructor geared this class to the students and their companies' Basis environments. We covered important topics that are hard to find practical information on, like kernel upgrades and hotpacks. I was later able to apply this knowledge to my company's own SAP system.

To get exposure to all the key material in this course, I might have had to take about three courses from SAP itself. The instructor went the extra mile to make sure that everyone's questions were answered."
