Stage 1 — Concept
At this stage, our team worked out integration points with related project modules, planned project tasks, examined current processes and top-level architecture development, prepared materials (including materials for SAP Shared Services), discussed options and ways to involve suppliers, and developed business process diagrams.
Stage 2 — Design
This stage included collecting requirements, developing detailed design solutions for business processes, developing a design matrix in SAP Ariba format, describing integration architecture, defining requirements for master data, developing a supplier engagement strategy and a role model, and defining the specific regulations that require improvements.
Stage 3 — Realization
We set up the system and templates for procurement and qualification processes, performed spot testing, prepared and tested data loading, set up integration flows, prepared test scenarios, and set up a role model.
Stage 4 — Testing
The integration test stage was performed both with and independently from SAP S/4HANA. We fixed major bugs and performed certain activities for supplier engagement.
Stage 5 — Training and preparation for launch
We fixed minor bugs, migrated settings to a production environment, prepared and loaded production data, prepared a maintenance plan and training materials, and conducted the business user training.
