Cost, Partners & Implementation

What does a next-gen SAP Ariba implementation project look like?

Short answer

Most next-gen SAP Ariba projects follow SAP Activate phases: Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy and Run. In practice this means assessing needs, designing to standard, configuring and integrating, testing with business users, going live and then optimising.

Phases

  1. Discover: business case, scope and readiness assessment.
  2. Prepare: plan, team, governance and system access.
  3. Explore: fit-to-standard workshops and design decisions.
  4. Realize: configuration, integrations, data migration and testing.
  5. Deploy: training, supplier enablement, cut-over and go-live.
  6. Run: hypercare, then continuous improvement and new releases.

Keys to success

  • Strong business ownership and a decision-maker on the project.
  • Fit-to-standard mindset.
  • Early integration and data work.
