Opportunities for INNOVATION - SAP, HELLO?
What if there were some really, really great ideas on how to dramatically change the SAP ERP application for far greater success in the marketplace? What if it would make a significant change in the usefulness of the application?What if it could be done with almost completely pre-existing functions, functionality, and code that SAP already has but has not done a good job themselves of integrating?
A low cost, high benefit, game changing scenario in the ERP application space.
What if these changes demonstrated enough benefit to create a compelling case for version upgrades without expiring support as the reason?

Some Reasons SAP Projects are Over Budget and Over Time
You're doing everything right. You've got executive support and sponsorship, a solid budget, you've been through a grueling vendor selection process, your scope is reasonable, you're using Solution Manager or following the ASAP methodology, but somehow your project is always in chaos. You're still doing lots of design work as you are ready to start integration testing. Something is wrong and you know it. Where is the problem and why are you headed for a blown budget and timeline?

RETAIL FUTURES: The Year of Living Dangerously
Its not 1982 or 1965. Nope, we have to go back more than 70 years before we lived as dangerously as this. According to the International Monetary Fund, in their recently released World Economic Outlook of April 2009, by all measures (and they have many) we are experiencing the worst recession since the Great Depression. For retailers, will it be déjà vu all over again or the future aint what is use to be (with apologies to Yogi Berra)?

Part 6: Enterprise BPM Framework; BPM within SAP projects
Many SAP project managers are struggling with the question whether they should integrate BPM within their SAP projects. For them the ROI of BPM for their project is not obvious. The Enterprise BPM framework, as introduced in my previous blogs, provides an overview of the utilization of BPM within SAP projects. The decision whether BPM should be incorporated within the SAP projects should also be taken by the stakeholders who are responsible for the TCO of the SAP environment.

Analysts Show BPM Consulting Faring Better in Economy
Recent analyst reports show declining IT consulting service revenue overall, but resiliancy in the part of BPM Projects. The reason for this is that BPM projects are management initiatives, not IT initiatives, that can be executed with rapid ROI and linked to clear business improvements. To help SAP services partners build their BPM practices, SAP PartnerEdge is launching a BPM Consultants Initiative on May 20, 2008. To learn more, register for the webinar featuring Ann Rosenberg, SAP BPM Global Practice Head, and Greg Chase, Director Platform Marketing: http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000462952009E

Part 5: Enterprise BPM Framework; Six Sigma
Six Sigma is popular today, particularly within large corporations, however the following improvements are essential:
1 Although many different methods and tools are available, there is no generally accepted BPM tooling and BPM governance method for conducting Six Sigma projects.
2 Despite the numerous statistical analysis options, there is no obvious way of accessing the relevant E2E process performance data.
3 It is difficult to integrate the Six Sigma project results within the BPM communication portal and ensure that the success be sustained after the project is completed.
By combining the Six Sigma methodology of SAP and BPM, companies can increase speed, quality and sustainability of the (LEAN) Six Sigma projects.

Research studies from Forester about the success of BPM programs shows that the BPM program success rate (67%) is depending on the availability of a BPM Competence Center and a BPM CPO (Chief Process Officer).
