The Economics of Success
As the current global economic downturn wears on, the pressure to cut back on IT continues to grow. Successful IT leaders will balance the cost-saving imperative with the need to support the long-term strategic goals of the business. In good times or bad, the single most effective strategy for IT is to prioritize investments based on strategic value, and then allocate the resources necessary to deliver results.
For many enterprises around the world, SAP solutions have become an integral part of the business for everything, from managing customer and partner relationships, to driving efficiencies on the manufacturing floor, to exploiting business intelligence and innovation. An SAP solution represents a large, mission-critical investment that has grown over many years of updates and expansion. Often they are dated, inflexible and often at a high degree of risk for failure. Outdated SAP software cannot provide the flexibility needed to support business innovation. How do you quickly modernize and transform your SAP environment and simultaneously reduce costs?
Rapid Execution For Rapid Results
HP Rapid Transition Services bring together the strength of HP's technology and EDS' services to quickly transition existing SAP implementations to more efficient and more easily maintained solutions.
By prepackaging HP's automation software such as HP Quality Management Solutions for SAP Applications and reference architectures with EDS, an HP company, methodology, global delivery capabilities, and industry best practices from selected partners, HP enables enterprise customers to lower their total cost of ownership and accelerate time to value. Optimization is enabled through the EDS Designed for Run™ principles that provide the foundation for achieving efficiencies throughout the SAP lifecycle. Designed for Run is a core EDS strategy that considers the function and expense of the client's IT systems and applications as a whole. It charts a complete course to meet the organization's goals and implements a measured modernization process while anticipating the client's cost of operating the final collective system over its lifetime.
