Dear Community;
I'm glad to present the new set of SAP RDS (Rapid-Deployment Solutions) for SAP PPM.
In essence it is simple to understand that an RDS consists of licences (software) and pre defined solution (content) that will be delivered in an agreed timeframe for a fixed price (services). In order to do this common documentation and guides are delivered as standard (enablement).
- Fixed implementation costs;
- A reduced and predictable project life;
- All of this based on a simple perimeter, strictly established and always identical from project to project;
- Several tens of solutions exists for the SAP portfolio as a whole, some of which more specifically for Business Intelligence.
