The Balancing Act

An uncertain economy is shrinking budgets. Information technology (IT) leaders are faced with hard decisions: Where do you cut? Where do you spend? How do you get the most from what you have? The choices you make today will help determine your tomorrow: whether your enterprise emerges from this downturn lean and competitive or emaciated and weak – a winner or a loser.

Keeping IT performing at expected levels while responding to constant business and economic changes, competitive pressures, and regulatory and security requirements, has never been more difficult.

For many enterprises around the world, SAP solutions have become an integral part of the business for everything, from managing customer and partner relationships, to driving efficiencies on the manufacturing floor, to exploiting business intelligence and innovation. An SAP solution represents a large, mission-critical investment that has grown over many years of updates and expansion. Often they are dated, inflexible and often at a high degree of risk for failure. Outdated SAP software cannot provide the flexibility needed to support business innovation. How do you quickly modernize and transform your SAP environment and simultaneously reduce costs?

Lower TCO and Accelerate Time-to-Value

HP Rapid Transition Services help you to quickly transition existing SAP implementations to more efficient and more easily maintained solutions.

By prepackaging automation software such as HP Quality Management Solutions for SAP Applications and reference architectures with HP Enterprise Services methodology, Best Shore capabilities, and industry best practices from selected partners, enterprise customers are enabled to lower their total cost of ownership and accelerate time to value.

HP Rapid Transition Services are built upon specific, proven and repeatable optimization packages delivered by EDS and SAP. IT optimization is enabled through the Designed for Run™ (DfR) principles that provide the foundation for achieving efficiencies throughout the SAP lifecycle.

The focus of DfR is to optimally plan, build and run a customer’s SAP solution by capturing more than 20 tunable dimensions necessary to reflect a customer’s unique needs. With these 20 dimensions, DfR utilizes HP’s next-generation applications management solutions for SAP, concrete reference infrastructure architectures, business consulting services, and HP’s SAP industry alignment to create custom SAP solutions that boast lower long-term support and maintenance costs.

Because DfR can be applied to existing systems, customers can quickly realize significant incremental benefits by adopting the HP Rapid Transition Services approach that best suits their needs.

HP Rapid Transition Services include HP innovation across its methodology and automated delivery capabilities that help drive more efficient SAP implementations. These prepackaged offerings are available to increase efficiencies across the entire SAP lifecycle:

  • Methods, Program and Project Management, Governance and Learning
  • Data and Project Optimization
  • Quality and Performance Optimization
  • Applications Management Services (AMS) Optimization

HP Rapid Transition Services helps customers lower TCO, increase ROI and realize immediate value by:

  • Leveraging HP’s unique capability of supporting business technology holistically from hardware to software to business applications and business processes.
  • Providing the flexibility of a measured SAP modernization process that aligns with your business needs.
  • Increasing time to value of SAP projects by an average of 15 percent through the implementation of specific, proven and repeatable optimization packages.
