We implement the solution for customers as a hybrid model in most instances.

We have a unique lifecycle approach in four stacks. First, we do an infrastructure stack. Then, we do the application stack followed by the data stack. Finally, we build the enhancements such as analytics, AI, or automations. 

The staff required depends on the case. Normally, we deploy one executive, two technicians, two functional resources onsite with the customer, and another 15 to 20 senior, mid, and junior resources offshore. On average, we have 14 to 15 resources per each stack. 

On average, the entire journey for complex organizations and multiple geographies takes between eight months and one year. It requires organizational change and building the mindset of management, technical teams, and business users. It is indeed a journey. 

A third party assisted us with implementation. 

Thirty administrators handle ongoing maintenance which includes IT, development, and quality control. 

I did the installation myself by reading a manual.

Our company offers engineering services. We help implement SAP upgrades, HANA or cloud conversions, API integration, BI platform integration, etc.

There is 100% dependency on system integrators. If the landscape is complex and it is not as straightforward as a cloud migration model, and there are a lot of interfaces and a lot of dependencies on third-party systems within the landscape, system integrators are necessary. 

There is 100% dependency on the system integrators. There are a lot of interfaces that are run by the customers. The landscape can be complex and it is not a straightforward cloud migration model. If a client has a lot of interfaces and there are a lot of dependencies on the third-party systems within the landscape, system integrators will be required for sure. 

You just integrate your data with your local LAN network and then plug it in, and after that you implement it. The implementation for it is just like any other SAP implementation except that the technical aspects are mostly taken care of by SAP - technical and implementations, patching and all those things.

The implementation was done with the help from our admin team.
