SAP offers benchmarking database for free
SAP has taken the unusual step of offering free access to its prized database of over 3000 actual client case engagements to help customers deliver their projects on time and on budget.
The move could potentially save SAP customers between $50,000 and $100,000 in fees they would have paid to external consultants for benchmarking projects. The repository is a culmination of nearly seven years' worth of work within SAP globally, where each customer's project experience has been detailed to the tee.
The benchmarking exercise looks at best practice in more than 20 functional areas, and is aimed at giving existing and potential clients peer-to-peer insight of potential pitfalls when embarking on SAP projects.
