Introduction
SAP projects are used to define, document and implement company solutions to given problems according to business requirements and SAP capabilities.
SAP provides many tools for creating projects, however, business requirements come from businesses and are IT independent.
Business requirements are defined and formalized in modeling applications such as MEGA Process.
SAP Solution Manager helps implement and manage complex system landscapes. In general, systems are distributed across different geographic locations, and business processes cover more than one system. With such complex scenarios, IT success depends on the integration of technical and business requirements. SAP Solution Manager provides SAP customers with an efficient means of handling both the technical and business process sides of solution implementation.
In order to quickly implement their business strategies and orientations, companies must be able to quickly transfer their processes and new business concepts to the SAP world. It is therefore important to align the business requirements as seen in SAP with what has been designed in HOPEX Business Process Analysis.
This is where HOPEX SAP Blueprint comes in. Its purpose is to design and document how SAP meets the business requirements as defined in HOPEX Business Process Analysis. It is used to exchange information relating to processes between HOPEX Business Process Analysis and SAP Solution Manager.
The HOPEX SAP Blueprint interface is used to align SAP process models with business process models, thus providing organizations with the means for taking the business view into account, improving implementation choices and reducing SAP deployment and migration costs.
