Our approach has been developed and refined over 20 years in SAP and hundreds of upgrades. We have services in Analysis, Implementation and Cutover, and Support and Optimization. Here is how GROM can help License Fee EvaluationDo your current SAP licenses match your organizations needs? You could be paying a significant amount for unused licenses. GROM utilizes a tool to perform a thorough evaluation of your usage and create a recommendation. Code Review/RemediationAnytime an upgrade is performed, custom code or zTables may not function in the next version. GROM has tools to evaluate custom content to determine what code will need to be remediated. This step will give you a clear picture as to the scope and workload the upgrade will require. Hardware SizingWhen upgrading to ECC, there are many changes in hardware and database usage. Our SAP BASIS experts have designed and architected small single server environments to large virtualized server farms. We can evaluate your needs and provide you with a proper architecture. Custom Code Justification CheckGROM can evaluate your current custom programs and tables to see if the functionality is standard in the next version. This allows the previously custom code to be replaced with standard functionality making future upgrades easier and improving performance. Hardware leasingDuring an upgrade additional hardware is needed. GROM offers short term hardware leasing in our secure and redundant data center. This allows you to avoid the expense of purchasing new hardware and avoid the hassle of retasking old equipment. Fixed Price Technical UpgradeGrom offers a flat, per box fee for upgrading your SAP dev, test, and prd environment to ECC. Security Review/Role Creation An upgrade is a good time to look at your security paradigms. If you are using role based security, it may be time to consolidate or recreate roles. GROM can do an analysis of your current SAP security, make recommendations, and create new roles. Code RemediationAfter identifying custom code that needs to be remediated to work in the new version, GROM can have our ABAP experts perform the code remediation on-site, near-shore, or off-shore depending on your requirements. Additional FunctionalityDuring your upgrade, GROM can recommend and implement additional functionality the business decides is critical and in scope for the project. GROM has SMEs in every business process line and can meet with the business and outline an ROI for any functional changes.
