Unisys Business Blueprinting

Unisys is announcing it's new Business Blueprinting, "a comprehensive consulting, development and delivery strategy that builds digital models that link business processes to the software and systems that support them."
This new offering will let clients visualize how strategic changes would affect not only IT infrastructure, but also the business itself. It will help eliminate functional redundancy in multiple systems whether they are legacy, Web based, etc. IBM and Microsoft are partnering with Unisys on this project, so it will be a major initiative that could have far-reaching effects on the way IT works. I'd love to hear this board's thoughts on Business Blueprinting.
More info is available at www.unisys.com.

Sounds like a string of buzzwords with no substance.
Businesses can eliminate functional redundancy simply by listening to their engineers, not by buying an expensive product that probably doesn't work.
Isn't Unisys the company that got the patent for compressing GIF data and started suing everybody?
You used "it's" incorrectly.

Sap pm business blueprints

hi friends
I have a argent requirement of sap pm business blue prints
any one if have than please send me or tell me the link from i can get BBP
thanx in advanced

Hi,
It is not possible and advised to share blue prints of client. The best you can do is to download SAP Best Practices from SAP Service portal. Your colleague in BASIS team can help you download that, if required. Refer to the business blueprint made by SAP, that should give you good idea.

Some hints:
1 Performance tuning for data loads : ( number range buffering, parallel loading..pseudo delta..chnging technical properties of tables if rec >100,000...IDOC clogging...etc)
2) Performnce tuing for Queries Aggregate...Cube modelling, OLAP cache....efficient multiprovider queries.etc.)
MEntion about transactiona whoich you will require for these things..such as RSRV..RSRTRACE..STO3n..ST05..etc...

Business Blueprint

Hello
I was reading an article on SAP and came across the word business blueprint.Is this something like your functional specifications or entirely different from that ?
Googled the word and came across a few blueprints but I am unable to co-relate it with SAP.
Kindly shed some light on blueprint in SAP and also request you to send some material on this, probably a sample blueprint.
Thanks a lot
Jessy

Hi Jessy,
Business Blueprint is a phase in the project where you study the current business process of the client in As Is stage and then try to provide a solution to the business requirements in the To Be stage using the Best Practices suggested by SAP. The org structure, Transaction types, business steps, Gaps in the solution etc are maintained in the Business Blueprint doc.
Based on the BBP doc the realization is done in the realization phase.
Functional specifications are created when some functionality needs to be developed to meet the business requirement. The functional specification gives the functional requirement and the output desired from the technical development.

Generate customer specific Business Blueprint in SOLMAN

Hi there,
i tried to establish a customer specific layout for the business blueprint that is generated by solution manager. starting off with the document header i replaced the logo in the solarblueprint.dot and .doc and uploaded both files to solution manager. after generating the blueprint there is the customer specific logo on the first page. on the other pages, there is still the sap-logo.
does anyone have a quick solution?
cheers
art

i won't get any points beceause it is my own question... but who cares
the problem is that the template-document has a new chapter starting after page one, which then is relevant for the rest of the document. so, the solution is pretty easy. for both, the .doc and the .dot document:
1. Adjust the template header at page one.
2. Click on the normal text field.
3. Click a couple times on enter until page 2 shows up.
4. adjust the header on page 2.
5. save the document.
6. upload the documen.
7. create your bbp from solar01.
Hope it helped you guys
cheers

Generating Business Blueprint

Hi,
I seem to be having problems generating the business blueprint, we are doing an HCM project and i have defined the following in SOLAR01
1. Organizational Units
2. Master Data
3. Business Scenarios
under the business scenarios, i have assigned the business proccesses from the HCM component.
my question is, is there any transactions that must be assigned to each individual business process?
the business blueprint comes up blank, but i have the structure, the master data and the business scenarios.
what am i missing in the setup?

Hi Trevor,
If you are in Business Scenario Section in SOLAR01 - make sure you select and give the following information.
Organizational Unit
Master Data
Business Processes
eg:-
if you select Sales as Business Scenario
once you click on Sales - in your right hand side you will see Proj.Documentation Section there you upload your business process Document/Blue Print and Blueprint-Relevant Tab should be checked.
and make sure you have given the following.
In Organizational Units
Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division, Sales Area, Sales Office and Sales Group
In Master Data
Customer Master Records, Product Master Records, Condition/Pricing,Cusotmer Employee Master..etc.
In Business Process
Sales Order Processing

Difference between business blueprint and functional spec

hello
can somebody please tell me the difference between business blueprint and functional spec and how they are interrelated
Thanks

Hi Comandante,
Business Blue print is a detailed documentation of the requirements gathered from client (The objects we need to develop are modified depending upon clients requirements).It represents the business process requirements of the company. It is an agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within SAP system.
Functional specifications (functional specs), in the end, are the blueprint for how you want a particular report and transaction to look and work. It details what the report will do, how a user will interact with it, and what it will look like. By creating a blueprint of the report or transaction first, time and productivity are saved during the development stage because the programmers can program instead of also working out the logic of the user-experience. It will also enable you to manage the expectations of your clients or management, as they will know exactly what to expect. Functional Spec streamlines the development process.
A functional specification is a formal document used to describe in detail for software developers a product's intended capabilities, appearance, and interactions with users. It guidelines and continuing reference point as the developers write the programming code.
Other processes include Requirements, Objectives,Logic Specification,User documentation,The Final Product.
Hope this Helps, Revert for any further info.
Cheers,
Tanish

Difference between Business Blueprint and Configuration

Hi all,
I'm new on using the Solution Manager and I really don't understand what's different in configuration and business blueprint.
Can anybody give me a short overview of that?
Thanks

Hi Gross,
Blueprint is mapping the business process of the company into SAP, whereas Configuration if making the setting in SAP to the needs of the company as per the blueprint.

Business Blueprint Structures in Solution Manager

Hi,
Can we change the structure node names under Business Blueprint tree on Solution manager. This is accessed by SOLAR01 transaction.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinayak Thorat

Hi Sai
answer is more simple the way you add standard business process in structure tab solar01, same way you can add master data or organization model for business process.
e.g.
you can add customer master or vendor master as a master data for a E2E process
in all the situation we use this because practically no process works without master data but its upto the level of documentation you want to make in solution manager rather than dumping project documents only and making it more meaningful by adding above
i hope you have got the answer now

Creation of business blueprint doc doesn't work

Hi all,
I've got a big problem and I don't know how to solve.
It couldn't be difficult. Please help me!
I tried to create a business blueprint document for my project. I selected structure elements and all that stuff and started it. Then I get the message that it worked correctly and was saved to directory.
But when I open the .doc file it is empty. Why???
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance

Hi,
You have to run the macro "SAP_BUSINESS_BLUEPRINT" within
the MS Word document in order to get the business blueprint document generated. Choose menu item:
Tools->Macro->Macros, select "SAP_BUSINESS_BLUEPRINT" and press "Run" button. This should work.
