POC - Proof of Concept

Dear All,
I am Working as a "SAP HR Functional Consultant".
Now,I have been given the Assignment of Preparing "POC - Proof of Concept" for MSS / E.Recruitment/Succession Planning / Performance Management & Organizational Structure.
Could you kindly help me by suggesting on How to prepare POC?
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.

Hi -
You need to get the baseline requirements and mock it up in the system.  They don't need all the bells and whistles but they need to see that the system will do what they need it do.  When you demo the POC, anything that you don't show, you need to explain how they will handled (e.g., 'I'm going to show you delivered correspondence but obviously, you'll need to customize and have a developer or whatever create the correspondence you need' or 'I know you need manager's approval for this but that's not a delivered workflow in SAP.  You'll need to customize a workflow to read the chief position for each employee who executes this transaction and they will then approve it before it's completed.'
Good luck - sounds like you need a mentor.

  • ETL Proof of Concept

    Hi,
    Currently we are using different ETL(informatica,OWB,pl/sql) tools in different plants of our organisation.
    we are planning to do a POC(proof of concept) on ODI to use it as single ETL tool through out the enterprise DWH....
    all GURUS ,could you throw some light on this on how to proceed as a first step.
    any information like advantages of ODI ( licensing cost,maintenance cost,usability)
    or TEST CASES for my POC
    or performance of ODI
    will be useful.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Let me try to help.

  • Microsoft Guidelines for SCCM Proof of Concept

    Where can I find the Microsoft Guidelines for Microsoft Proof of Concept for SCCM 2012 R2.
    Some of the point I remember are as follows:
    POC should be done in Lab and not in production.
    POC not to be include any specific customization.
    At times customers want to include everything specific to their environment which is not possible in limited time we have for POCs (5-10 days). Where can we show them the guidelines for that? All the customizations they have may take 1-2 months to test and
    deliver.
    They generally say that all customizations must be provided in POC as they are paying for the project. But actually it is Microsoft paying for that. Just want to know how others deal with such situations.

    You need to make your costumer understand that a Proof-of-Concept is exactly what it Means - It proves to the customer that this product can deliver what they need. That does not mean that you have to implement every possible feature in ConfigMgr 2012 and
    configure advanced OSD TS´s etc.
    Compile a long list of demos, features and functionality and let the customer choose which ones they would like to "examine" in their PoC. When you have tried this a few times you sort of know how long it takes to implement whatever they want.
    And just like Gerry - I do not know of any guidance documents from Microsoft either.

  • Bluetooth OBEX push, proof of concept

    I have been asked to come up with a proof of concept for a bluetooth system. The user creates some content on a PC, then using BT the files are transferred 'as painlessly as possible' to the user's cell phone. I haven't done any BT programming before, but after Googling today, I think I should be using OBEX for my transfer. The web has a couple of examples, but they need javax.bluetooth and javax.obex, that I'm having trouble finding.
    The POC has to be ready by Monday, so any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated. I can't get any books to me in time on the topic, so I'm relying on the web. Does anyone know of a complete working example, that I can stick into Eclipse, to get working? Failing that a website, with a quick and easy example would be good.
    I've been working with this page, but can't get Eclipse happy enough to run it. Basically I need a piece of code that can detect a BT device and then send a file to it.
    http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/library/wi-boogie2/
    Thanks for any help

    I would like to know if you have done it...
    i need one example of Obex via bluetooth but i haven't found it.

  • BPC Proof of Concept

    Hi All,
    Any there any documention avaialbe on BPC Proof Of Concept?? I have no knowledge what extactly BPC related to Proof of Concept. Can anybody explain it or documentation available some where on this topic??
    Thank you,
    Raju.

    Hi Raju,
    Typically, a POC will involve creation of some scenario (planning and consolidation) using the various features of BPC. There are few best practices available on market place. You can download that and try to replicate it in your BPC system.
    Hope this helps.

  • BIA Proof of Concept

    I'm getting ready to lead a proof of concept of BIA before we purchase it.  Another architect is also evaluating Netezza and Terradata as we have other BI environments inhouse (Siebel and homegrown oracle).  SAP has been less than helpful with my project and it has been very frustrating.  Any words of wisdom?  Has anyone used any of the other products I mentioned with SAP BI?  We may end up with them as it is making SAP look bad.  Thanks!
    Jaimie

    We have a teradata system and a BIA just purchased.
    Teradata is used as the staging engine for the NON SAP data and they use cognos cubes on top of that infrastructure - and BIA is used as the accelerator for BW
    We do need to join fata across the platforms and for this we use  multicubes across BW cubes in the accelerator and virtual cubes which connect to teradata via jdbc drivers (sure we could have used TVAS but that is a tad pricey - and currently we are only POC'ing the conenctions - but it's easy!)
    Now what made us choose BIA and not use BW as a staging engine to dump to teradata
    Simple - real time and near real time feeds via extractors
    From my point as a BI architect - I position BW as not only a BI reporting engine but also the "glue" which via delivered extractors takes the data as near real time as possible out of the SAP landscape
    Now the SAP landscap is becoming very defragmented over the past few years due to the SOA landscape - with BW being really the only place where combined application reporting can happen
    With the new hybrid infoprovider concept comign with BIA - users can enter a purchase order or a jnl in R3 and that data via RDA can fly into the daily storage aspect of the hybrid infoprovider concept
    At the end of the day you then fill the BIA with the rest of the daily transactions
    True you can do this with using Teradata in place of BIA in the hybrid conceptual model - but I prefer to take the path of risk adversity
    Sorry for the ramble - just doing a brain dump - and some ideas of how we are planning our future landscapes

  • Help with starting point for "proof of concept" integration

    We are a third party application provider and are attempting to figure out how to do a "proof of concept" integration with SAP.  We are not looking for "certification".  Our product does not appear to fit any of the standard certifications for integration and our experience integrating with other systems indicates that no two integration will be identical.
    We are looking to do a simple integration scenario with an SAP system so we have some basic experience doing it, can say 'Yes" when asked if we have done it, and can create a video showing a transaction being done in SAP and our system also updating (and ideally the reverse).
    Our starting point with respect to SAP knowledge is "0".
    Our basic task list (we think) goes something like
    1.  Figure out the version and modules of SAP with which we should be integrating
    2.  Get access to an SAP system (do we rent, is there a developer/evaluation, ...)
    3.  Put some data in the test system (is there a "sample data" set?)
    4.  Figure out the SAP transactions that map to the business process in which we are interested (moving goods in and out of a distribution center/ware house - are there some "standard business process guides")
    5.  Integrate (we are a .NET web based application so we are guessing this means use the ".Net Connector")
    Could anyone point out any resources (white papers, links, people, places to find people,...) that might be a good starting point?
    Thanks,
    John

    Athol,
    We are looking to recieve notifications out of SAP as tractor trailers at a dock are filled as proof on concept.  The actual integration scenarios we do are more complex and do not match well with any of the pre-packaged certification scenarios.  The real world integration scenarios actual vary substantially from customer to customer in terms of the integration points between systems.
    As we have become more marginally knowledgable about SAP, I think we will end up receiving and sending "IDOC" messages from SAP but have no idea what those IDOC messages are or where to start looking for what a "standard" (if there is one) message SAP would generate in reaction to whatever the "trailer is loaded" transaction is.
    To figure out what the transaction is, I assume we need to identify what version of SAP we should be targeting for a simple integration.  Are there any could references on what the commonly integration methods are and to which versions they apply?
    Something like "hey, if you do an integration with a IDOCs in with SAP Netweaver 2004 then that would good proof you could integrate with 90% of the installed SAP base".  Of course, any links explaining what the versions of SAP are and where they are in there lifecycle and what people are actually using would be helpful.

  • ChaRM Proof of Concept

    Hi All,
    I need some help with a ChaRM Proof of Concept TMS configuration.
    I have this setup that I would like to make work.
    logical component 1: DEV1 > QAS1 > PROD
    logical component 2: DEV2 > QAS2 > PROD (this is the same prod as above)
    I have ChaRM working fine with a maintenance project with logical component 1 assigned. My issues are arising when I try to have another maintenance project with logical component 2 assigned. The goal is to have maintenance project 1 for dev and customization on a yet to be decided maintenance cycle. And maintenance project 2 for production support on a weekly maintenance cycle.
    These are all dummy Solution Manager clients numbers.
    DEV1 is client 500
    QAS1 is client 501
    PROD is client 502
    DEV2 is client 600
    QAS2 is client 601
    My TMS is set up with the following:
    SAP > 501 transport
    ZSM1 > 501 transport
    501>502 Delivery
    these three worked fine to get the basic ChaRM setup working with maintenance project 1.
    I added:
    ZSM2 > 601 transport
    601 > 502 delivery
    I can't add:
    SAP > 601 transport. It tells me the SAP transport layer is already being used. (above to 501)
    My maintenance project 2 is having issues being setup because the TMS is not reflecting the DEV 600 > QAS 601 > PROD 502 system landscape.
    Anyone have any experience on how to setup the TMS to test this setup? I imagine this would be easier with seperate boxes, rather than having client for 2 DEV, 2 QAS and 1 PROD on the same one.
    regards,
    Jason

    Hi Christian,
    well my ChaRM Check is throwing a few errors which usually have to do with the TMS being setup incorrectly.
    "No consolidation system found for SMD600 and "No track for project... for log. sys SMD/600"
    My TMS knowledge is a bit lacking here. The SAP and ZSM1 are both consolidation routes, but I'm not exactly clear when and how each one is used. Should I just create another consolidation transport route? i.e. ZSM3 > 601 to go along with the ZSM2 > 601 I already created? Is it really just enough to have two consolidation transport routes?
    thanks,
    Jason

  • Edge database interaction "Proof of Concept"

    Hi all-
    I've read several posts asking about the possibility of Edge interacting with an outside source such as a database.
    Thanks to a few posts and examples here (redesign for the example of the mailto" project and Lee Brimelow for the folowing link:
    http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=168)
    I have built a "Proof of Concept" page that, all within Edge, let's a user click a button to search a database, pulls the results and displays them within the Edge animation...
    If people are interested, I can make a complete tutorial that walks through each aspect of this, including how to easily create a JSON file for Edge to import and use...
    Here's a link to the working example.  Right now I have it limited to pulling 5 items from the database but what you see  IS live from a MySQL database!
    http://www.fundraiserhp.com/json/send_lasso.html
    Let me know if anyone is interested in a tutorial for this...
    James

    OK, don't everyone "bash" me at once :-)
    I apologize for the delay but some work issues cam up I needed to take care of.  I don't know how good this tutorial is, I was a bit rushed!
    There are 3 parts to the video:
    Part 1: Creating links within an Edge animation to another Edge animation that displays the database information.
              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrEu5vfXCgQ
    Part 2: Creating the "Container" symbol to hold the database information inside an Edge animation.
              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwb6TFTx3sc
    Part 3. Calling the database and creating a .json file with the database info for the Edge amination to impoort.
              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMqGf_eyKok
    Each tutorial video has a link to the next video so it should be easy to follow by just going to the first video:
