Challenges Lack of Desired Functionality –Unifiers –Role Migration –PLM package –Composite roles in iPanel –ITS functionality Balancing portal modifications Chasing a Moving target –EP 5.0 SP?? –Unifiers –Hot fixes vs. patches Defining system architecture –LDAP selection –High availability
9
Challenges (cont.) Dealing with GUI trained users –Losing functionality perception Cutting edge technology –Need to make “gut” decisions –Can’t follow standard SAP methodologies Requirement gathering from key users –Overwhelmed feeling
10
Lessons Learned Best approach is not always the latest & greatest –Architecture, patches, etc… Technical landscape needs to mirror production –Flush out hidden problems Importance of Promote to Production –Managing development –Managing software changes Functionality is more important that technology Strong project management required –Detail oriented –Scope creep is common
11
Lessons Learned (cont.) Defining governance model –User / role maintenance –Content publishing Quick wins are great to have –Leverage existing content –Personalization options –User Mapping for low budget Single Sign On WebEx is a life-saver –SAP troubleshooting / OSS messages –End User Support –Training Need monitoring / tracking data
12
Recommendations Identify stakeholders early Define & lock down scope early Proper resource selection –Use SAP consultant on your team –SAP savvy, Java, ASP, general NT, ITS Multi-generation approach for roll out (baby steps) –Less can be more –SAP Portal is not an R/3 implementation Include “sticky” applications to attract users Determine versions & go with it
13
Recommendations (cont.) Do not underestimate role mapping process Watch out for small “gotchas” –Proxy settings, save as favorite, outlook access, languages –Field testing important / pilot studies Don’t let software limitations limit you –Centralized admin privileges Remember your business case –Don’t get lost in the technology –Usability
