UPDATE: SAP has announced end-of-maintenance dates for BPC, prompting many organizations to reevaluate their planning and consolidation platforms. At SandPoint Consulting, we now help BPC customers determine the right next step–from transitioning to a new solution to maximizing the value of their current system in the interim. This article remains relevant for teams still managing BPC projects, as well as those beginning to plan their transition.
Having clearly defined business process and project requirements is critical to the success of any BPC implementation. Too often, projects that begin without this foundation run into missed deadlines, budget overages, and solutions that fall short of user expectations.
At SandPoint Consulting, we recommend conducting a dedicated project workshop before the blueprint and design phases begin. This workshop brings key stakeholders together to define project goals and align on which business processes the BPC solution should improve. The outcome provides a clear framework for the Statement of Work (SOW) and helps identify areas that require internal discussion and agreement prior to kickoff.
Taking the time to establish these requirements upfront helps ensure the resulting BPC solution meets the needs of finance, accounting, and IT teams–while staying on time and within budget.
