5 Implementation Methodology
Methodology is built on core Activate methodology recommended by SAP.
• Includes Fit
• Gap analysis instead of blueprint
We believe that in today’s competitive environment it is not enough to constantly adapt to new business
situations and improve the business conditions, but this change has to happen under stringent time
constraints. We help business to cope with this change and improve their business conditions by
assigning consultants to the project that have worked in a similar environment before. This allows
recognizing business improvement opportunities in a very early stage of the implementation. As we
ensure an ideal mix of consultants with appropriate business expertise and in-depth SAP product
knowledge, we do not need to access a database of project implementations. We rather assign the best
available consultant to your project, thus ensuring that you have the requested expertise at your
fingertips.
Consultants assigned to your project have worked in a SAP project of a similar industry before, and come
equipped with solutions to improve business conditions with SAP ERP. This again will help to recognize
and implement business improvements earlier, giving you a leading edge rather than a vanilla solution.
6 PROJECT ORGANISATION
The proposed project organization chart for the MVN project will be finalized upon confirmation of project.
SILVERTOUCH will undertake to staff the project with the necessary qualified resources to work together
with the MVN implementation team.
A detailed mapping of roles to individuals will be done upon project start. It is understood that individuals
may and will occupy multiple roles. It is also understood that the deployment of individual consultants will
be at the sole discretion of SILVERTOUCH in line with the project objective and timeframe. The
SILVERTOUCH Project Manager will assume overall project responsibility and be the main point of
contact with MVN.
6.2 Roles and Responsibilities
A key strength of the triple A Roadmap is the building of a strong core project team that consists of both
MVN resources as well as SILVERTOUCH Consultants working hand-in-hand. A project Manager will be
assigned by SILVERTOUCH to work with and assist the MVN Project Manager. Functional consultants in
each of the application areas will also be assigned to the business process teams. Specific roles and
responsibilities includes the following:
Project Managers
Both SILVERTOUCH and MVN will provide a Project Manager from each side. Ideally, it should be a full
time role in the project. The project managers will be empowered to have primary ownership of the
project deliverables and will provide day-to-day direction to the project team. The Project Managers will
also be responsible for maintaining the project plan, streamlining resolution of issues and communicating
the project status to the steering committee. In general, the Project Managers will provide overall project
management for the implementation, and play an active role in the integration between the project
business application teams.
SILVERTOUCH
This phase is primarily the responsibility of the SAP and Customer Project Management.
The consultants will hold several business process review sessions to gather detail requirements. The
consultants and teams will then develop the “Business Blueprint” which summarizes each business
process to be implemented by the project.
The project team will configure the functionality identified in the business blueprint. After the
configuration, the consultants will playback the business process flow to the project team and key users.
During Final Preparation, the consultants will assist the MVN project team to plan and execute the
testing and prepare for cutover.
Consultants will provide application support for the first two weeks. For any additional consulting support
required after the implementation, consultants can provide the service at the standard consulting rate.
Business Process Owners should possess good knowledge of the relevant business areas. Business
Process Owners are responsible for the overall design for their respective application areas to
standardize MVN’s business processes and to ensure the right decisions from the perspectives of both
MVN’s requirements and SAP ERP functionality aspects
MVN Project Team
All members of the MVN project team should ideally be full time. The project team will be the
process owner who owns all business processes within the scope of this implementation.
This phase is primarily the responsibility of the SILVERTOUCH and MVN Project Managers as described
above.
MVN senior management and the project team will be responsible to attend the business process
workshop. They will be responsible to provide information concerning business policies and making
decisions concerning future business processes design. MVN will also be required to approve the
Business Blueprint.
The project team will define exception conditions for each business process and defining the
integration testing scenarios. The project team and the appropriate management team will review and
approve the configured business processes. At this stage, the project team will acquire R/3 skill
through on-the-job training provided by the consultants. The project team will be able to document user
procedures and development of end-user training. The user procedures (transaction based) are based
on SAP’s Business Process Procedures and consultants will guide MVN in the creation of this
documentation. End user training is generally compiled from the user procedure
The project team will execute the integration test, the volume tests and prepare for cut-over. MVN will
provide the Training Environment for End User Training. End user training involves the adaptation of
SAP procedures to user jobs and roles. It is therefore recommended that the project team do this
training.
After going-live, MVN needs to verify the accuracy of the productive system and provide application
support. The project team will form a Help Desk to support other business users in the organization.
Once the system has been in production, MVN will be able to evaluate the business benefits.
• Infrastructure Support
The technical lead will ensure that proper infrastructure is available for every end user to perform their
tasks in the new R/3 system. This includes PC upgrades, network connections, installation of
appropriately sized R/3 servers, installation of SAP GUI, as well as the availability of user procedures,
forms and user support.
It is required to prepare a room for the Implementation Team. The rooms should be big enough to
accommodate the entire Project Team.
MVN will manage any organizational changes that occur as a result of the concepts or processes
developed during the project. This process looks into how changes can be managed in the organization
when there are changes in roles and responsibilities. MVN can facilitate this process via training,
workshop and other activities conducted internally.
To ensure the success of the project, MVN needs to commit the following core team member which needs
to be nominated from business. These members need to be allocated full time to the project.
• Nominate one of our Senior consultants as SILVERTOUCH project manager to oversee the daily
activities of the project and manage project plans, issue resolution, documentation, work schedules
and so on.
• Provide solution consultants to perform an independent and objective review of business processes and
application configuration

which requires expertise in the following areas: PS, SD, MM, FI, CO, ABAP, Basis
• Provide technical consultants to develop interface and conversion programs as needed and to perform
system support activities.

support is INR 85,00,000/-
