SAP CRM Implementation Project - Phases/Stages

Hi all
    I am very new to this Area !
     I would like to know different Phases/Stages in the SAP CRM Implementation Project !
Regards
RJ

Remo,
I believe every SAP CRM Implementation project would follow the ASAP methodology which is as follows:
Phase1: Project Preparation
The system landscape is set up, consultants are assigned. Project charter is created etc.
Phase2: Business Blueprint
The implementation consultants do a study of the clients business and learn how the processes/ cycles involved thru discussions, workshops etc
This is documented as an AS-IS document.
The clients business processes are then mapped on to SAP by the consultants.
This is documented as the TO-BE document
Gap Analysis is performed to identify any gaps between the AS-IS and TO-BE documents. i.e. something that the client wants but cannot be met thru SAP CRM. Then enhancements etc come into picture.
Phase3: Realization
The system is configured as per the TO-BE document. And the client is given for testing.
Phase4: Preparation for Go-LIve
Once the client confirms all the unit and integration tests, the master data needs to be uploaded. Other system checks by basis and SAP itself are performed.
Phase5: Go live and support
The project goes live and the consultants give a month's of hypercare or support.
Hope this is wat you were expecting.

Julius

    hi
    well talking about the implementation project in CRM
    let us assume we are implementing it in BANKING industry
    here the requirement is in improvement in the field processing and all the effeciency of the sales or feet on street
    so we implement the CRM marketing with CIC
    what it will do that we start with first the readiness document that what all are the requirement of the bank and how the company can cope it with the help of CRM
    then we prepare the BLUEPRINT to state that the data to be processed will be strucutured in CRM in how many phases or the timely schedule of the roll over of CRM in bank
    next up we start with the configuration ,like we have to start campaigns and generate leads for the banks which may get converted into the opportunities
    so have to do all the configuration of CRM according to the requirements being given
    one thin g i forgot which is very imp is that we do requirement gathering,its pretty imp part of entire process
    after getting these only we can do whatever we want with CRm
    so after that we realise the configuration in realisation phase then we do those UATs and SITs
    this way we phase out the CRM in any sector
    just a gist of everything
    hope i cleared some air
    best regards

  • SAP CRM Implementation Process

    Hi Guy's,
    I am kind of new to SAP CRM... I am in the process of finding as much information as possible regarding SAP CRM. I have a general question (show below) regarding CRM Implementation... I am hoping to get an answer from you....
    Q: If any Company chooses to implement SAP CRM in 2 or more phases.... then which functionalities (Ex: in Marketing, Sales and CIC) the company would implement in the 1st phase and what are the other functionalities he would like to implement in the next phases?
    Let me know if the question is not clear enough....
    I really appreciate, if you could explain in detail.....
    Thanks in advance...
    Sreen

    Hi Sreen,
    In the case of Sales / ICWC you could start with basic order entry. This would be phase 1.
    In phase 2 you could add extended fact sheet, sales contracts, case management, and scripting functionalities. If you decide to include Marketing, then this phase could for example include free goods.
    Phase 3 would consist of extended marketing functionality: full segmentation of BPs according to multiple marketing attributes; marketing calendar/plan and campaigns.
    Phase 1 alternative: Leave ICWC for phase 2 and only implement basic sales functionality in phase 1. In that case you would do order entry via CRMD_ORDER and not via ICWC. Phase 2 would then included (basic) ICWC functionality.
    Of course the demands and requirements of your customer would be leading in deciding the phasing of your project.
    Kind regards,

    Does the calculation view work without xsodata service? From the URL, your XS project name should be Project_DM, but from the xsodata source, the project name is EricssonItalgas. I'm confused with this. Did you use rewrite_rules or?

  • Environment Readiness Checklist for Application Test in an SAP CRM project

    Hello Experts,
    I am working for a very large SAP CRM implementation project at my firm. I am part of Application Test team responsible for carrying out all due dilligence before test begins. I need your help to prepare a detailed checklist for Environment Readyness covering below items like
    - Transport (Custom Build as well as Config)
    - Checking and ensuring that code and config is moved successfully
    - Number Range Set Up
    - Manual Configurations ( partner profile creation, initial ALE config
    - Initial Master Data creation ( reference customer,register groups,enter values in some custom Z-Tables ,service providers etc etc..)
    - Any other item which you I should take into account
    Regards
    Rohit

    Hello Sumanth,
    By going to System -> Status -> SAP System Data -> View Components, you should be able to see the soft components which are installed in your system, I guess.
    These soft components corresponds to the business suite applications which are installed.
    This is what you wanted ?

  • Standard authorization role for CRM implementation team member

    Hello,
    We are starting SAP CRM implementation project (7.0) and I would like to avoid giving sap_all authorizations to functional consultants in development environment. Unfortunetly I can't find standard customizer profiles like the ones in ERP system exists.
    So the objective is to have quite broad role or profile with no restrictions in customization and functional area. However it's important not to have Basis authorizations in this role/profile. Hope that someone can give me a hint in this direction.
    Thnak you,
    Jahoo

    Hi,
    as soon as the implementation team member should also do developments my experience is that without SAP_ALL you will have much trouble. Therefore in our dev-system each consultant will have SAP_ALL authorization. Of course only in the DEV-System.
    Kind regards

  • ChaRM on implementation Projects

    Hello
    I have a conceptual question regarding the use of ChaRM on Implementation projects.
    We are using ChaRM and have ensured that CTS is driven from Solution Manager i.e transport requests can only be created from corrections (SDMI). To date all SDMI's have been created as follow on documents to Change Transactions (SDCR). Going forward we would like to differentiate genuine changes (Changes to scope after blueprint sign off)  from implementation activities driven from blueprinted requirements.
    Whilst we see benefit from approval workflows for genuine changes, it is quite a chore to create SDCR's for all regular implementation work which is implicitly approved by signed off blueprint.
    It is also difficult for us to then differentiate Changes from Implementation SDCR's.
    Can anyone see a problem with all implementation tasks being generated directly as SDMI's with no preceding SDCR whilst leaving genuine changes as SDCR generated corrections?
    The only one I can think of so far is that there is workflow that sets the status on an SDCR when the SDMI has been through it's lifecycle although I'm not sure how the system would behave if there is no SDCR.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hello,
    for the first please use SDMJ. SDMI is old.
    You can create SDMJ directly without SDCR and his approval workflow. There is no problem.
    It is not really clear how to work with Implementation projects and "changes".
    There are two known scenarios:
    Implementation project (phase of the application management life cycle is "Implementation"):
    If you have an really Implementation project for an Implementation of for example an new SAP product you should use an "Implementation project". It is not a change request!
    Here you work with the known IMG-projects, blueprint, project phases.....
    The transport process is realized via bc-sets. It means you create all you "changes" in bc-sets.
    Implementation project (phase of the application management life cycle is "Optimization"):
    Here you can use also the "Implementation project"
    You can create SDMJ directly without SDCR and his approval workflow. There is no problem.
    The transport process is realized via transport requests.
    I guess the different between this two scenarios is the transport process.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Best regards

    Hi Ajit,
    GRC is for SOD finding out conflicts in roles after Go live .user
    will submit for user acess forms and get approved using VIRSA ACESS ENFOCER and Requestor can also run a Risk Analysis to see if the roles being requested for  will have any Segregation of
    Duty conflicts and get conflicts like  "Risk B019"
    He can choose to mitigate the risk, assign a Mitigating Control or he can remove roles.
    that are causing  the conflict.
