Phase 1 Project Preparation
Phase 2 Business Blueprint
Phase 3 Realization
Phase 4 Final Preparation
Phase 5 Go Live and Support
The ASAP Roadmap was developed by SAP to help customers implement SAP software in a
quick, cost-effective manner. Utilizing this approach:
minimizes the length of implementation,
maximizes the utilization of TeamSAP and customer resources,
results in a Repetitive Model that can be used with other implementations of SAP modules
or systems, and
provides a process-oriented approach to Product Training.
