Clients can significantly benefit from Infosys' SAP Industry Pre-Configured solutions to accelerate time to value and implementation timelines. They provide our clients a functioning SAP environment that addresses their Industry challenges. We couple our SAP pre-configured environments with Industry Process Repositories that provide a toolkit rich with solution related artifacts that can be leveraged to accelerate client adoption of the pre-configured solution and the Business Transformation program.
By taking the approach of "Why Change" the Pre-Configured Solution vs. a "typical" implementation approach, clients can reduce program delivery time (up to 30%) by starting with an Industry pre-configured solution.
Clients that leverage our pre-configured solutions select the components of the solution that meet their targeted end state. The "delta" between the targeted end state and the pre-configured solution scope are then prototyped, designed, and implemented.
IMPACT™ and SAP's ASAP Methodolgy - a Winning Combinaion

ASAP provides a tested and benefit driven approach to implementation; coupled with IMPACT™ and VRM™ Infosys is able to provide clients the ability to unlock even more value from their transformation.
Four Major Phases to Successful SAP Transformations
As an SAP transformation progresses from visioning to operations, it should follow a logical progression. The best transformations place the right emphasis on each phase to achieve the required value for the client /objective at each step of the journey.
