SAP has a methodology and approach for implementation. We must ensure that we are prepared for the deployment. Several things need to be in place. We need to pay for our license, SAP provisions, and Ariba for our test environment, where we can configure and test. Once that is done, we sit with the client, take their requirements, and document them. We also need to fill out a workbook, which we will then share with the client to confirm that they agree.

Once the client confirms that everything is correct, we forward it to SAP. SAP will then provision our instance based on the items in the workbook. We also need to discuss integration with the client. Once we are done discussing and obtaining all the necessary documentation, we begin to configure the system. We configure the system and test it. Once we are done setting up the system and testing, we can then deploy it and go live.
