The SAP ERP Business Assessment service from DSR is designed for companies that
believe they are not getting the full potential out of their current IT systems.
They may be facing business pressures from customers or suppliers that they are
finding challenging. They have operational management issues in the business. They
may feel that they do not have clear visibility of the way the business is actually
performing at a micro level. There may be a sense that the current systems are somewhat
old and tired and haven’t had the investment to keep pace with an evolving
business.
All of these issues are reasons for undertaking a DSR SAP ERP Business Assessment.
The assessment will provide a rapid benchmark against other companies in your business
sector who have faced similar challenges. It will tell you what areas of your operations
can be improved and how.
DSR offers a phased approach to assessing the issues and needs of a company. Following
are the key components on the Assessment.
|
|
|
The first phase is treated as a Business Audit phase. Here DSR will undertake the
following steps:
|
|
|
- Business Assessment – One of our Senior Consultants will interview each key
business function head to understand particular issues they have and desired improvements
they would like to see it the future.
- Technical Audit – One of our Technical Consultants will meet the IT owners
to review the current systems from both a Technical and Functional viewpoint.
- Preparation of a Business Audit Report that will cover:
- Key Business challenges by function
- Areas of IT vulnerability / Gap analysis to show what areas can be improved
- Budget costs for updating of the current IT systems to address the Key business
issues
|
|
|
The second Phase is a detailed Evolution Plan. Subject to agreement to proceed further
with the Assessment, DSR will undertake the following additional steps:
|
|
|
- Additional Functional Workshop to review on more detailed business issues that were
identified in the first phase.
- Return on Investment Workshop. DSR uses a sophisticated modelling tool to assess
costs of industrial investment and payback from new IT projects. The output of this
can be used to evaluate any software project.
- “Future Business” Workshop – This would involve taking your key
business scenarios for the future and modelling them using SAP’s latest product
design for Best-Practices in your industry.

We in DSR have seen how businesses have been transformed by well-informed investment
in new business solutions.
We would like you to consider us as a potential supplier if you do decide to proceed
further and we hope we will have given you the chance to assess our capabilities
in the process.
We will ask for an initial meeting with your Board level representative responsible
for addressing your organization’s business systems needs. More than money,
the commitment is on quality time; time from the board and key function heads to
provide their valuable knowledge and business direction.
