SAP provides a constant and ongoing path for upgrade. Clients are questioning the need for upgrade and are concerned as to the cost benefit of the exercise and the real value that it will bring to their organisation.

Bluefin and IBM will provide a clear guide to upgrading your solution from a landscape & architecture perspective, technical, functional and strategic. Clients will see that it is critical to understand the architecture, functional and strategic factors in order to gain the available benefits and value.

Bluefin and IBM consultants will additionally provide a clear direction on upgrade planning, methodology and approach to ensure ultimate successful delivery.

Importantly clients will also be given direction on SAP Enhancement Packs. Enhancement Packs are a new feature and philosophy of SAP's release strategy and allow organisations to drip feed functionality and enhancements to the overall solution without the need to wait for major version release or full solution upgrade.

The Enhancement Pack philosophy is significant to those contemplating the long terms benefits of upgrade to the latest version.

This one day seminar is free of charge, and will be held at IBM, Southbank on the 12th December 2007. A buffet lunch will be provided. Our seminars are small group sessions of up to 10 - 20 people to encourage participation.
