Upgrades

Planning your SAP upgrade

SAP software is constantly being enhanced, so Absoft keeps a close watch on developments and works with you pro-actively to develop your SAP system over time.

  • we tell you about new SAP software functionality, and the potential benefits for your business
  • we keep you aware of SAP’s long term plans for its products, so you can maintain your investment in your SAP system
  • our SAP upgrade planning service covers both technical and functional issues
  • we provide full SAP consultancy services, a  complete upgrade implementation service and SAP software training


Absoft can work with you to test the business case for SAP upgrades, and whether you need functional or technical enhancements. Your Absoft SAP consultant will then formulate the optimum commercial solution.

Setting a schedule

Our goal is to make the transition to your new system as smooth as possible. Although we use tried and tested project methodologies, we have the flexibility to adapt our SAP upgrade schedule to meet your business and operational needs - for example, when your key staff need to be engaged in other tasks.

When your SAP upgrade involves the installation and testing of new system hardware, Absoft will customise the upgrade plan to keep business disruption to a minimum.

A seamless changeover

The critical event is the moment of changeover. We take special care to ensure that ‘go-live day’ goes without a hitch and your SAP upgrade is completed on time and on budget.

We can also accomplish system changeover using remote access tools to complement our onsite presence.

Upgrade benefits

These typically include:

  • a broader and/or more fully-integrated range of SAP software functionality
  • improved working environment
  • new opportunities to add functionality to your SAP system
  • better reporting facilities
  • a more flexible system management system
  • reduced technical risk (when moving from an unsupported version of SAP)
  • greater scope for business growth
