Audits

Due to a variety of reasons, it may be that an SAP implementation has not quite delivered all of the benefits that were anticipated at the visionary stage of taking the decision to proceed, at a cost within striking distance of original estimates and in a timescale close to original plans. An SAP Audit and Health Check is an important first step to identify if maximum leverage is being obtained from the SAP system that has been implemented, and assess where additional value can be gained.

Due to growing compliance requirements, it has become essential for SAP customers to conduct regular SAP system audits to ensure that the system configuration, developments and security settings are in compliance with the set standards.

Our Consultants can review your organization's existing applications, document relative performance levels and compare those results to industry best practices and standards. We will highlight how well the SAP application is performing to meet current and likely future needs. Based on these findings, we will recommend solutions for maximizing the value on the initial SAP investment for the entire enterprise.
