Process Profiling

Process Profiling: Business and Technical analysis of the SAP environment through redocumentation to establish a baseline for Process Management, technical simplification and audit.

By extracting usage data from running SAP environments, we are able to answers questions such as:

• What processes and transactions are you ACTUALLY using?
• Where can significant cost savings be made?
  • Current operations and upcoming upgrades
• How can you quickly build an SAP Reference Model?
  • Quick-start for blueprinting in ARIS/Solution Manager
• Are all your teams across the company using the same processes consistently?
• Technical analysis
• Compare Object inventories, modified objects, user exits, table compares, etc.
