SmartTech Implementation Approach

Smartsoft recognizes that a traditional implementation approach with extensive “as-is” and “to-be” studies and a substantial timeline for customized solutions may be appropriate for large enterprises with considerable resources to devote to systems projects.  In contrast,  a mid-sized business like yours can now leverage the SmartTech alternative which delivers a comprehensive set of proven business functionality “off the shelf” with only customer specific personalization required.

Rather than spending time and money defining and configuring standard business processes, SmartTech package implementations focus preparing to leverage the mySAP ERP’s capabilities: data cleansing,  conversion,  knowledge transfer and end-user learning .

Out-Of-The-Box ERP Solution
The SmartTech package delivers an operational system, complete solution documentation and step-by-step operational build procedures, data conversion and process testing instructions which minimizes the need for traditional large business and consultant implementation teams. The entire project from the start of the engagement to completion of post go-live support is designed  to be accomplished within a span of 12-14 weeks. During this duration, customer specific data will be converted and loaded into SAP several times by using a combination of automated and manual conversion tools. The loaded customer specific data will be used to test the business processes being deployed as well as to train the end-users on the processes that will be supported post go live. The entire project will be executed using the ASAP Focus methodology for packaged solutions which contains proven accelerators that aid in risk-adverse implementations without compromising on the solution quality.

Enhanced Value through SmartSourcing
To maximize on consulting time during the implementation, Smartsoft’s the unique low-cost global delivery model – SmartSourcing supplements onsite resources located at your site with offsite and offshore resources. The combination of resources across geographies and time zones provides for coverage over extended working hours during the implementation besides lowering the total cost of ownership. Apart from highly experienced consultants onsite, well trained offsite and offshore resources are geared to provide post go-live 24x5 support at a nominal annual cost.
