Sound familiar?
If this sounds like the challenges you face when setting up a new development landscape or prototype environment, then tools like the free SAP Best Practices preconfigured solutions or the SAP Discovery System for e-SOA can provide a tremendous jumpstart. SAP Best Practices are a suite of preconfigured solutions that can be automatically or manually installed in SAP applications – based on business scenarios.
Some examples of what we mean by "a business scenario" includes scenarios such as...
- An SAP ECC 6.0 based scenario, Cash Management or “Procurement of stock material”
- Or, an SAP NetWeaver BI scenario, “Cost Center or Inventory Planning”.
- And, for our new mySAP CRM 5.0 based release, "Sales Activity and Opportunity Management" or "Service Order Management"
The end result you get is a working SAP environment to develop in for your SAP application, you industry, and your region (mySAP ERP, mySAP CRM, SAP NetWeaver etc.).
Workshop agenda and exercises includes...
During the workshop, you'll get hands-on experience with "personalization" tools that help you refine the configuration settings prior to activation in mySAP ERP, and then use those settings to activate the SAP Best Practices in SAP ECC 6.0 environment (the latest release of mySAP ERP). The workshop will have both individual and group interactive hands-on exercises which will provide a collaborative learning experience. You'll also learn how SAP Best Practices solutions can be used to setup a broad SAP application landscape, and, how they're used in the SAP Discovery System for eSOA and how you can leverage them both together, or how the SAP Best Practices on their own can be used with your existing hardware.
