Best Practices For Selecting And Managing Your SAP Implementation Provider

Lessons Learned From Interviewing SAP Client References

by Liz Herbert

with Christine Ferrusi Ross, Philipp Karcher


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Forrester surveyed 154 SAP implementation client references and found that they were most satisfied with providers' technical expertise and pricing transparency, but rated them lower on change management, training, and skills transfer. References also voiced concerns around access to SAP resources, providers' industry-specific knowledge, and cultural fit. This report outlines these issues and provides guidelines for addressing them during provider selection as well as how to best mitigate their effects during the relationship.
