Architectural Review and Design Services

Architectural Review and Design Services
The following were examples of real implementation scenarios that we have had provided consultations in the past. Recommendations, solutions have been provided for each scenario and most them have achieved the goal with “outstanding results” – a direct quota from the IT director of a major automotive supplier in Michigan..

Customer Scenario 1:
We are implementing MySAP SRM solution - one of the MySAP Business Solution Powered by NetWeaver. SRM need SAP Portal and SAP XI component but we have non-SAP corporate Portals in place and non-SAP EAI tool as our corporate standard integration tool as well, why do we need another Portal and EAI tool from SAP? Can we implement SRM without SAP Portal and XI?

Customer Scenario 2:
We are a global company trying to implement a SAP BI solution. Our subsidiaries are located in different time-zones and using different languages. The planed BI will need to able to help the corporate management to make strategic decision, to help division management to make tactical decision and also to support operational decisions as the plant level. How should we build the systems and what issues do we need to consider while making architectural decisions.

Customer Scenario 3:
SAP Enterprise Portal is required as part of our SAP implementation, but we have a non-SAP corporate portal already and it works great. We have no intention to replace the corporate portal with the SAP Portal. What do we do? If we add SAP Portal to our environment, will our users need to remember one more set of password or can we integrate SAP Portal into the corporate Portal.

Customer Scenario 4:
SAP XI is required by our SRM/SUS implementation, but SAP XI is not our corporate EAI standard, we have WBI and we have no intention to introduce another EAI tool… Can we implement SRM without using SAP XI?

Customer Scenario 5:
We have implemented SAP ECC, BW, SRM, XI and Portal and they are all in production. Our business community continues ask us to implement new functionality. There have been many issues caused by the conflicts between productive operations and new development. Several times, the productive operations were interrupted because some new objects were brought into the system by transports. What do we need to do?

Customer Scenario 6:
We are implementing many SAP components and we need to setup High Availability environments as well as provide a fast Disaster Recovery capability. We have two data centers that are 40 miles apart and we will be using storage technology to replicate data from one location to another. Should we build High Availability and DR environments separately or can we combine them into one?
