Overcoming challenges in SAP CRM programmes


Situation Change Management: Client was new to package implementation processes and was apprehensive about change management / adoption of a packaged solution. User Acceptance / Adoption: Client was used to a 100% fix, bespoke environment. The SAP look & feel (People Centric User Interface) and the display of data in the standard screens were new to the Client. Performance of the system in field: The system is used by the field agents through their mobile devices, real time availability of data at the right time, in the right place, anytime and always was seen as a challenge. Resolution Efforts were taken to convince the top management and users about SAP CRM benefits and value addition. The stakeholders were taken through extensive demos with business relevant examples. This was overcome by developing some new screens, and making data field additions to existing screens in order to minimize the differences in look & feel of SAP CRM and the legacy applications, and provide the minimum number of screens per transaction. The system was delivered on high performance databases and applications which were developed and maintained for the Client. Extensive analysis of each deliverable was done to segregate efficient applications. Extensive performance testing was done on each application.

Overcoming challenges in SAP CRM programmes


Situation Data Migration: Data Migration saw major challenges in terms of data sharing owing to its confidentiality. This had impact on the testing and validation of Data Migration entities. Resolution A comprehensive Data migration testing strategy was followed. The entities were developed in Development environment and tested with sample data which had all the confidentialities Masked. Then these entities were tested by the business user with real data in the QA system under an agreed security framework. Coaching on the nuance of the Global Delivery Model and setting realistic expectations in terms of delivery, culture and other parameters such as data security, communication protocols, background checks helped overcome this challenge.

Perceptions about the Global Delivery Model: This was the clients first engagement using the global delivery model and a lot of obstacles were faced early on, both at operational and cultural levels.
