SAP projects are often considered complex and lengthy. However, the SAP Activate methodology enables structured, efficient, and surprisingly fast ERP implementation. XEPTUM demonstrates how decision-makers and project managers can achieve genuine project success with the SAP Activate Framework – thanks to clear project phases, intelligent tools, and proven best practices.
What Makes SAP Activate the Preferred Implementation Method?
The implementation of a new SAP ERP system is a major strategic project for many companies. But how can the balance between speed, quality, and budget adherence be achieved? The answer: SAP Activate. This methodology combines agile principles with clearly defined workstreams, a well-conceived roadmap, and the use of powerful tools such as the SAP Activate Roadmap Viewer and SAP Cloud ALM (CALM).
What Phases Does SAP Activate Comprise and What Happens Within Them?
The SAP Activate methodology is divided into six central project phases:
- Discover Phase: Initial assessment, goal definition, and selection of the appropriate solution.
- Prepare Phase: Assemble project team, prepare infrastructure, initial planning.
- Explore Phase: Detailed process analysis, fit-gap workshops, solution scenarios.
- Realize Phase: Configuration, development, testing – all based on best practices.
- Deploy Phase: Go-live preparation, training, cutover planning.
- Run Phase: Stabilization, support, and continuous optimization.
Each phase is structured by specific workstreams and tasks and is supported by tools like the Roadmap Viewer, which makes all steps transparent and traceable.
