Re: [BPCS-L] why migrate

["Danny Monselise" <dannym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i guess you have to take a SAP consultant because it a big enough system 
to get lost in,and decide together on the implementation 
strategy,modules,steps,etc
but once you start with sap you as a ground rule cant go too wrong .
that partly answering for point 2 .
if you see growth in your company and you are a mid size and above company 
and already straggling with many gaps between the business and BPCS maybe 
that's the time.

#1 and #3 are both subjects about which large books have been written.

#1 - There is probably an order of magnitude of complexity between
BPCS and SAP.  BPCS has a couple of thousand tables, SAP has 20 times
that. SAP has done a reasonable job of making the system database
independant.

#2 - I will leave this to others.

#3 - SAP has a "standard" methodology, which is phenomenally complex
and tweaked by every implementation partner.  SAP also has a number of
preconfigured solutions which are mostly configured for particular
industries.  They talk about 6 and 9 month implementation cycles.

SAP has a very comprehensive web site -- I strongly suggest that you
spend a whole lot of time there.
