Do you know who your SAP® users are and what they're doing ? really? Proactively evaluating your user base through an automatic analysis can save you time, reduce costs, improve security, and identify your power users.
A user and role analysis can give you a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive evaluation of named users and their activity in the system, saving you time and money by identifying potential savings on licensing and maintenance costs. Learn how you can:

• Accelerate project preparation with an automated analysis of your users and roles
• Improve security by streamlining authorizations and profiles with a least-privilege approach using the results of the analysis
• Reduce maintenance costs and identify potential savings on licensing with fact-based usage statistics
• Proactively address organizational change management issues by automatically identifying power users, knowledge risk areas, and critical usage statistics.

How a Business Blueprint Can Pave the Way for a Successful Solution Implementation

(SAPinsider, April-June 2012)

Companies embarking on an IT implementation often do so with an eye on improving business operations and achieving return on investment (ROI). However, companies that simply move from technical upgrade to technical upgrade without reevaluating and improving their existing systems will see their systems become less efficient and more costly to maintain. That?s why many companies are now using SAP Solution Manager to improve the way they manage their IT systems. SAP Solution Manager provides all of the functionality needed for IT service management and application lifecycle management (ALM), including solution documentation, change tracking, monitoring, and implementation tools.

SAP customers are leveraging SAP Solution Manager functionality to support application lifecycle management, including change tracking, incident management, business process monitoring and implementation tools.

The first step to leveraging this functionality is to build the Business Blueprint structure to document the business scenarios, processes, master data, and organizational structure supporting the business. The Solution Documentation Assistant can be used to reverse-engineer the structure based on usage statistics. Reverse Business Process Documentation (RBPD) content is available to support an automatic, comprehensive analysis of the functional usage of SAP ERP systems.

IBIS offers Supplementary Services to support a more complete blueprint using RBE Plus. Using Supplementary Services from IBIS, a customer can accelerate, extend, and improve their Solution Documentation. Learn how to:

• Accelerate customizing the Business Blueprint with an automated inventory of custom developments
• Identify process variants and exception processes for more comprehensive documentation
• Supplement the structure with organizational usage statistics to compare org units and differentiate processes
• Understand the user base, identify power users, knowledge risk areas and critical usage statistics

RBE Plus for SAP Solution Manager supports the automatic evaluation of business processes in the SAP Solution Manager. RBE Plus technology makes it possible to determine the business processes actively used within productive SAP systems. The business processes available in the SAP Solution Manager's Business Process Re-pository (BPR) are automatically activated or deactivated on the basis of this data. This procedure significantly expedites implementation and upgrade projects invol-ving the SAP Solution Manager.
