We used an integrator for the tool’s deployment.

Deployment depends from company to company. Some companies can recruit an expert to handle the implementation. Companies may initially engage with SAP partners or SAP directly for the initial implementation, and go with their internal team.

Five people were involved in the deployment process, out of which three were technical personas, one was management, and one was an IT administrator.

Maintaining the solution is neither complex nor easy. It is okay. Two people are maintaining the solution.  

We had to hire a third party to help us implement this solution. I would say around 40 people worked on the implementation process.

We have one person that is well trained in the solution that does the maintenance. However, in most cases, the amount of supporting staff required is dependent on the number of users that the IT team is managing. In our case, since our clients are not that large, for deployment, one person would be enough to manage SAP Business ByDesign, as long as everything is done properly.

Typically we use a consultant for deployment. Our experiences have been quite good, in terms of understanding various aspects and functionalities of the Business ByDesign solutions. I think that now there's a lot more access to high-quality and knowledgable consultants in the market, so it's not difficult to find a consultant, who knows and understand the software.

We used an integrator.

It has to be done by a consultant. We had three people for its deployment. We had one developer, one functional person, and one finance person.
