The last couple of years SAP is advocating the necessity of speed, agility and simplification. With the introduction of S/4HANA, these three elements came together. But not only SAP software has undergone a “facelift”, also the implementation methodology has been changed and reformulated.
The well-known ASAP methodology has been succeeded by the SAP Activate Methodology, which is aligned with best practices that the Project Management Institute (PMI) has documented in its PM Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
The goal of SAP Activate is to help customers take advantage of all the power and the full potential of SAP S/4HANA, tailored to their circumstances and business needs. SAP Activate is the unique combination of 1) SAP best practices, 2) Guided Configuration and 3) Methodology that helps customers and partners deploy SAP S/4HANA.
Conclusion:
SAP Activate is a combination of SAP Best Practices, guided configuration and methodology which allows you to simplify your build- and run activities. It is a big step forward in taking advantage of all the power and potential of SAP S/4HANA and endorses an agile approach which improves flexibility and lowers TCO. Last but not least the improved User eXperience, using a Fiori front-end application, is the icing on the cake.
