HI,
The Business Case identifies the objectives and proposed solution of the SAP Program and documents quantifiable benefits that support the Programu2019s justification.
Below mentioned are the contents of a business case at higher level.
1. Executive Summary
     a. Program Objective
     b. Problem Statement/Opportunity
     c. Proposed Solution
     d. Industry Comparison
2. Strategic Alignment
     a. Business Strategy
     b. Technology Strategy
3. Program Benefits
     a. Tangible  Benefits
     b. Intangible Benefits
I think sharing the business case of my projects will be difficult because of confidentaility issues. Hope this helps you and you can make your own business case document on these guidelines.

  • Need business case to move to 4.1

    Hi all,
    We are currently using APEX 3.2, and would like to upgrade. I haven't had much time to look into the features of APEX 4, and now I have been told that I need to put together a business case for upgrading by next week. While some of the new features look great, I have to put this to business users rather than technical people. Can anyone point me to improvements that look good from a business standpoint and any info on the upgrade process?
    Thanks for any advice!

  • Typical business case scenarios for SharePoint 2013 Apps

    What are the typical real time business case scenario for 1. SharePoint Hosted apps 2. Auto Hosted apps 3. provider hosted Apps? Why people choose any of this model apps model in comparison to typical On-Premise solution? 
    Another question comes is when should one go for On-Premise solution rather than Apps? What are real time scenarios?

    Let's discuss first whether to develop apps or full trust solution.
    Talking about technical aspect, On-Premise solution is popular choice for organizations who have SharePoint hosted on premise (not SharePoint Online). However, if you are using SharePoint Online, there's no choice except Apps (and possibly sandbox but deprecated).
    So for SharePoint Online only viable solution is developing apps. However for on-premise you can develop full trust or apps. However since apps requires a bit more configuration and not yet full feature set as you can do with full trust, most people are still
    developing full trust solution on premise.
    Talking about business requirement at hand, you can develop apps (even in on-premise), if your requirement is really looks like an app. For example, you would like to develop a SharePoint solution, that will show data from SAP inside SharePoint. The solution
    mostly nothing to do with SharePoint but calling SAP services to perform stuffs. So you can develop an apps and deploy inside SharePoint. Another example is import CSV files in SharePoint list, you can write an apps. But mostly I think you need to decide whether
    to develop apps depends on the Apps API ability. The API is still very limited in features/functionalities. So even if your requirement looks like apps you can't develop apps if the current SharePoint Apps API doesn't support the functionality. 
    Now let's talk about which apps model you would like to use SharePoint Hosted apps means everything hosted inside SharePoint and no other external infrastructure is required. One example is the CSV file upload apps. However, with SharePoint hosted apps,
    you can't use C# rather you just have javascript to develop the apps. There's rumours that auto hosted apps will be deprecated not sure but there's not more conceptual difference apart from where the apps is hosted (both hosted outside SharePoint). Provider/auto-hosted
    apps will be running outside SharePoint (i.e., in IIS web site), and communicate to SharePoint through REST or client object model. One provider hosted apps in the office app market is adlib pdf conversion. The apps allows you to select multiple files and
    covert them to pdf file. Basically the conversion site is hosted somewhere outside (in the provider's infrastructure). When you select all the files and click 'convert' from ribbon user is redirected to the provider site (different url) and the files are merged
    and converted to pdf. Since it's outside of sharepoint, you can use any development language (C#, java, php etc.). The provider hosted app talks to sharepoint through REST or client object model.
    So in summary, sharepoint hosted app has less complexity as it doesn't require another infrastructure and runs inside sharepoint. However you are limited to use only javascript to develop your apps. On the other hand with provider hosted apps, you can use
    any development language but you need to consider extra level of security/complexity to integrate the app with sharepoint.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for this nice reply. Plz clarify if only Auto hosted apps will be deprecated or provider hosted apps also may be deprecated by MS?

  • OSB - Business Case for Adapters Vs Transport

    Hi
    1. Can you please explain me a business case on when one should use Db/JMS/FTP/File Adapter in OSB and when should one go in for equivalent transports for configuring Business/Proxy services? Would be great if you could point me to some documentation on which approach should be chosen over the other/any benefits that a particular approach has etc..
    2. Also is there some Oracle Documentation available on comparision between OSB and BPEL? When should a particular product be chosen? I tried searching for an example with a business scenario which provides details on when to use OSB and when to use BPEL but havent been able to get much info.
    Thanks!

    Can you please explain me a business case on when one should use Db/JMS/FTP/File Adapter in OSB and when should one go in for equivalent transports for configuring Business/Proxy services? Would be great if you could point me to some documentation on which approach should be chosen over the other/any benefits that a particular approach has etc.. For DB, you have to use DB adapter in OSB beacuse there is no seprate transport defined for DB. For FILE, you have both options - FILE transport and FILE adapter (in OSB 11g). FILE transport should be the preferred option (never seen documented anywhere) as it has been designed as part of the product and hence should be faster (although never comapred). For JMS and FTP, you have to use respective transports defined in OSB because OSB does not support JCA adapters for FTP/JMS (you may refer - 25.2.1 Adapter Support
    at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15866/jca.htm#BABBICIA)
    2. Also is there some Oracle Documentation available on comparision between OSB and BPEL? When should a particular product be chosen? I tried searching for an example with a business scenario which provides details on when to use OSB and when to use BPEL but havent been able to get much info.OSB is a dedicated routing product and must be used for scenarios where only routing is required along with light transformations. Being a stateless product OSB can bear heavy load as well as gives better performance. BPEL can do what OSB does (to a certain extent) but being a statefull product it is much slower than OSB and should be used only for scenarios where process orchestration/human workflow intervention is required.
    OSB being a service bus, can mediate among almost each and every kind of protocols but BPEL would need adapters for such mediation.

  • What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

    Hi
    We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
    My Question is:
    1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
    2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms  - <i> We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high</i>
    3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
    Regards
    Morten Nielsen

    Hi Morten,
    1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
        As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
    2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
    SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
      We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
    3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
      It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
    But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
    Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

    A couple of thoughts in no particular order.
    1. Read the FAQ and learn how to use { code } tags to post a readable listing
    2. Your version number is (all decimal points)
    3. Provide DDL for the table
    4. Provide INSERT statements with sample data
    5. This is horrifying
    START_TIME > '01-AUG-2011' Dates are dates ... not strings. Best case you have an implicit conversion ... worst case a statement that will return invalid results. Either change the data type or do an explicit cast with TO_DATE.

  • North American Student Dashboard Challenge – Business Case Questions

    Students, post your business case questions for the North American Student Dashboard Challenge here.
    Good luck with the challenge!

    Two of the KPIs which need to be included in the dashboard are:
    1. Income vs Expenses
    2. Performance to Budget
    There is no income statement in the attached excel files, we are just given statement of cash flow. For individual items under revenue and expense we need an income statement. This is required for designing dashboard for KPI 1.
    For KPI 2, the case study asks to display comparison of Actual vs Budget for 4 revenue items - corporate, individual, foundations, and special events - as a chart component. The attached excel files does not have adequate information on this either.
    I see only two spreadsheets in the Excel file JA Financial Statements 2006 - 2011 - 1. Statements of Functional Expense; and 2. Statements of Cash Flow - Table.
    Please help what needs to be done here. The case study says to refer - Statement of Activites Tab from JA Financial Statements.xls for KPI 1 and KPI 2. However, there is no such spreadsheet on this Excel file. I have downloaded the project data from the following link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/uac/index?rid=/library/uuid/30ee1571-2533-2f10-31bd-8826243425ee

  • Support Packs - Business Case

    I support the SAP instance at a small SME.  We run ECC6 for FICO SD MM & HR (but not payroll or BI).  It has been two years since the last support pack update.  The support packs are 13 & 15 and HR is on 32, the Kernel for 700_REL is 175.
    To build a business case for patching to later releases I need to find where SAP gives a broad description of the support Packs and a description of the improvements made.  Am I correct that these shall only include note changes but no enhancements to business processes. 
    Is the best forum for this question?

    > To build a business case for patching to later releases I need to find where SAP gives a broad description of the support Packs and a description of the improvements made.  Am I correct that these shall only include note changes but no enhancements to business processes. 
    Exactly - that's what support packages should be, theoretically. Usually they also contain small improvements or "backports" of newer releases.
    I wonder that you were able to run your HR so long without any support package updates, usually HR contains critical legal changes for each country, especially on (fiscal) year changes.

  • Advice on how to build a business case for partitioning

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm the architect of a business intelligence/data warehouse team. We've grown to the point where I believe we need database partitioning. I believe we are at about 1.5 TB of data. Our largest tables are in the 100 million row counts with relatively wide record lengths (~100 columns). Our just sort of large tables are in the 10 million to 50 million range, however, they have very long row lengths (~300 columns). Based on our future source system plans, our data will become even more granular and there is still a need to maintain our historical data.
    Those aren't the only reasons, but are some of the larger driving issues that are making most members of our team think it's time we purchased database partitioning. Our team is pretty unanimous for partitioning, many of our source system partners also consider it a "no-brainer", however, we're getting push back from our CIO saying that 1.5 TB and 100 million records isn't that much data as compared to other "big data" companies and that it doesn't require partitioning.
    Does anyone have a advice on how to build an business case for purchasing partitioning? Is there a good way to demonstrate cost-vs-benefit value?
    Thanks for your feedback.
    -=Joe

    I'm going to be contrarian and start from the end of your post.
    >

    >
    Yes - forget about cost-vs-benefit. That's the CIOs job not yours. You're an architect. Stick to architecture. Design and implement the architecture needed to meet the business requirements of your projects. If you are given requirements that can't be met with your current infrastructure then that is when you should propose alternative infrastructure.

    >
    NONSENSE! That's what ALL of the above statements represent - UTTER AND ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.
    Who cares what you believe? Beliefs don't carry weight, facts do. You do list some facts: 1.5 TB of data, 100 million row counts, wide record lengths, large sorts, long rows, data will get more granular, need to maintain historical data.
    Ho Hum! So what? How do ANY of those facts indicate any sort of issue or problem, existing or potential, at all? They don't. You haven't provided information that suggests that ANY of those facts illustrate what Justin referred to as 'pain points'.
    Unless those facts prevent you from doing your job of providing an architecture that meets the business requirements you don't have a leg to stand on.
    My first reaction to your request would be similar to your cio's. Implicit in your cio's response are some questions you need to ask and answer
    1. What is it that you do now that you can't do with the current architecture?
    2. What is it that you need to do for an upcoming requirement that you can't do with the current architecture?
    3. What alternatives are available to modify the current architecture to do what can't be done in items #1 and #2 above?
    That #3 is where my skepticism lies. You seem to have already concluded that partitioning is the answer. Why? What problems do you think it will solve? Why not RAC? Why not a separate data warehouse system? Why not split that historical data off into an OLAP system? Maybe that can reduce the size of the OLTP system to where you won't have whatever problems you are having.
    Partitioning is just about addressing some performance issues. A lot of times partitioning is used more for management purposes such as loading/offloading data without impacting those huge tables you are talking about.
    If my hot queries use a primary key value to retrieve data it isn't going to matter much if the tables are partitioned or not.
    That is what sets the context for what Justin is telling you. You and your team need to document the constraints (and SLAs) your system currently has, how close you are to hitting those constraints, your options for avoiding/evading those constraints using the current infrastructure and the options for avoiding/evading those constraints using a modified architecture.
    It is up to the CIO to do the cost-benefit analysis of working within the limits imposed by the current infrastructure versus modifiying the architecture.

  • Need inputs regarding the dvd drive on primary ide channel.

    Specs:
    Motherboard: MSI P35 Neo3 (MS-7935 1.0)
    CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E6550
    Memory: Team Elite DDR2800 (2x1GB Dual Channel)
    Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache (SATA)
    Optical drive: LG GSA-H55L (IDE only) Firmware version 1.02
    Graphics card: Gecube HD3870
    Chipset: Intel P35/G33/G31 (Rev. A2)
    Southbridge: Intel 82801IB (ICH9)
    LPCIO: Fintek F71882F
    BIOS: AMI V1.1 (11/07/2007)
    Hello,
    Almost all new motherboards today only have a primary ide channel and the rest are SATA.
    I need inputs regarding the dvd drive which is shown in device manager as located on the primary ide channel while the hard drive is located on the secondary channel. Because I would like to update the dvd drive to the latest firmware (version 1.06; to be able to recognize more blank media) but the LG site recommends that the drive (dvd) be located on the secondary ide channel.
    I already tried to uninstall every channel from the device manager but all would still be the same after reboot, dvd drive on primary, hard drive on secondary.
    Current ide mode in BIOS is set to AHCI+IDE mode, DMA modes are fine (UDMA4 for dvd, UDMA5 for hard drive), boot sequence (1st=HD, 2nd=DVD, 3rd=Floppy drive)
    Tried switching to IDE mode only in BIOS but would not detect the optical drive. Never tried RAID+IDE mode since I only have a single hard drive.
    I'm not sure but if I try to update the firmware, it might instead try to update the hard drive's firmware instead of the optical drive and make the hard drive unusable.
    I would like to know if anybody with this same situation was able to successfully update the optical drive's firmware or is there some way to place the optical drive on the secondary ide channel and the hard drive on primary for me to follow and replicate the process.
    Thank you for any replies.

    Thanks sir NovJoe for the reply.
    Just received the solution from another forum where I posted the same problem.
    They said that the flash program for the firmware will detect the drive on its own and would not flash other devices except the optical drive itself. So its pretty safe, and I can confirm this since I just flashed my ODD a little over a while ago and everything went fine. No errors.
    Though I'm speaking for the brand of ODD I own and may be different for other brands so take precautions as well. It may be different for the others.
