Enhancing SAP Standard

Requirements analysis: The first step in our custom development process is to thoroughly understand the specific business requirements that need to be addressed for the product to be successful. With 25 years of experience in the SAP development world, we have both a deep understanding of the SAP infrastructure and the needs of manufacturing companies. This gives us the possibility of advising our clients on the best way to use SAP and the best way to modify it. Our consultants are seasoned professionals and experts in their respective fields and will work in close collaboration with your business stakeholders to understand, analyse and document their needs.

GAP analysis and solution definition: Our next step is to gather the requirements and map them against the current utilisation of the SAP framework. Our objective will be to identify the gaps between the real world business process and the SAP process. Once we have clearly understood where the misalignment is located, we will begin to draft our proposals that we will take into consideration:
a) whether the SAP framework is being utilised to its full potential and propose modifications to the production planning strategies adopted by the client.
b) the gaps in the SAP framework that fail to match the real world business requirements and then we propose a solution on how the SAP framework could be enhanced to match the real world process.

Development: Once a solution is accepted by the client, we proceed with the development of the solution. ITeanova embraces tight collaboration with the client in every stage of the development process, from design to implementation, placing the client at the centre of the process. Our agile iterative development process makes sure that client feedback is incorporated at regular intervals within the solution. This philosophy ensures that any solution chosen is developed keeping in mind the needs of the client.

Testing: Rigorous testing is crucial to ensure that the custom-developed solutions meet the business requirements and do not introduce any issues into the SAP environment. This includes unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT).

Documentation: Proper documentation of the custom development is essential for future reference and maintenance. This includes technical documentation, functional specifications, and user manuals.

Deployment: Once the custom development is tested and approved, it is deployed into the SAP environment. This may involve transporting objects between development, quality assurance, and production systems.

Integration: Custom-developed solutions need to be integrated seamlessly with the existing SAP landscape and other systems as necessary. Integration can be achieved through various methods, including SAP Process Integration/Process Orchestration (PI/PO) or SAP Cloud Integration (SCI).

Maintenance and support: Custom-developed solutions require ongoing maintenance and support to address issues, apply patches, and make updates as business requirements change.

Technology: All our solutions are implemented as close as possible to SAP framework that includes: ABAP, Fiori RAP framework, UI5, Odata and HANA stored procedures, Adobe Forms.
