30. Key Take Away

Drive for better “Time to Value”; customers are looking for
early confirmation that requirements can be met.

Rapid Deployment Solutions greatly shorten deployment of
SAP solutions.

SAP offers a proven set of Acceleration Techniques and
Deployment Strategies in ASAP 8

Agile has been used successfully in SAP projects of various
sizes and solution scope and helps to mitigate risk

Level of acceleration and approach need to be tailored to the
customer’s situation, requirements and culture
