SAP Activate is the successor of ASAP (Accelerated SAP) methodology. SAP ACTIVATE is used for SAP S/4HANA implementations and upgrade projects. SAP Activate methodologies are not only used for SAP S/4HANA cloud or on-premise but also for SAP BW/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba, and so on.
SAP Activate is the SAP best practices to explore solutions for a company’s specific business scenarios and solutions. SAP ACTIVATE provides fit-gap analysis and SAP best practices for rapid deployment. SAP Activate applies to all the S/4HANA implementations irrespective of the Industry type.
SAP ACTIVATE consist of 3 components:
It is a pre-configured business process based on industries, the line of businesses but still customizable based on specific business needs. SAP ACTIVATE is used for rapid deployment of SAP S/4HANA. ACTIVATE models are available for most of the industries. Such implementations are still customizable for specific business needs.
Guided configuration is a tool to help activate best practices content and for customized adjustments. Depending on your requirements you may use the inbuilt tool, Solution Builder, which will help to select solutions to be included in the Guided Configuration.
Inbuilt capabilities like SAP S/4HANA solution, activate the scope, configuration and testing are available for SAP S/4HANA cloud implementation.
In the on-Premise implementation, we can use SAP Solution Manager and toolset for best implementation for SAP S/4HANA.
In Methodology, SAP gives guidance to get faster implementation and optimization. The SAP ACTIVATE methodology is a standard framework for implementation or migration to SAP S/4HANA. SAP methodology builds on ASAP methodology for implementations and SAP Launch methodology for cloud deployments. Companies can use this methodology on their own, or with SAP directly, or with an SAP partner. This methodology allows you to take step-by-step project management approach to your implementation and migration to SAP S/4HANA. SAP Activate methodology combined with the Project Management help you minimize risk, streamline and speed up your implementation project.
There are two types of SAP S/4HANA edition:
Cloud edition is the public cloud where you shared with other companies. In Cloud edition, you have limited option to customize the system. SAP will update and customize as new releases.
The On-Premise customer has many opportunities to customize the system and all solutions maintained by the customers.
SAP ACTIVATE methodology has 4 Phases.
There are a couple of more phase in that methodology. So before the project starts, you should start with the Discovery phase. In Discover Phase you discover what is the right solution, what is the right strategy for the customer. The run phase which is after the project completed and the system is in production mode.
