Implementation

Claricent subscribes to the AcceleratedSAP (ASAP) implementation methodology for SAP NetWeaver BI. We apply a holistic approach to your organization's SAP NetWeaver BI Development that ensures Information Quality principles are instilled during the process. Below you'll find an overview of each phase of Implementation.

Phase 1. Initiate Data Quality Practice

The goal of this phase is to accurately assess your organization's readiness to take on and instill an Information Management/Quality practice. Ultimately, this phase will provide the charter and operating principles for an Information Management/Data Quality Practice.

Key milestones during this phase:

  • The Information Maturity Assessment. Assess your organization's use of Information as a management tool.

  • Customer Satisfaction Interviews. How does the service measure up? Here, we rate the level of customer satisfaction that's achieved via the information your company uses to make decisions or take action.

  • Problem Areas and Success Factors. Using the Information Maps created as part of the Architecture and Design phases, identify the problem areas and success factors with the Information Value Chains.

  • Information Quality Framework. Define the guiding and operating principles of the To-be Information Management Practice. This will dictate the groups involved, the roles, communication paths, and escalation procedures.

Phase 2. Data Quality Execution

Claricent takes a PLAN-IMPLEMENT-CONTROL approach when developing the daily Data Quality Execution for your business. The Data Quality Execution phase involves continuous iterations of identifying areas for improvement and working through multiple cycles of short repeatable actions towards the desired outcome.

Phase 3. Information Quality Control and Measurement

As a project nears its live state, the most critical Information Value Chain elements are documented with controls put in place to measure and report deviations of norms. Any exceptions are then fed back into the Data Quality Execution phase so that causes are determined and proper solutions are put in place to refine the functionality of your business processes.

Phase 4. Data Architecture Governance

Claricent is committed to empowering your workforce with the knowledge, processes and procedures needed to manage and maintain the new SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence platform independently and over an extended period of time. We offer what we call "feedback channels" where we cover key developmental areas including:

  • Training

  • Issue Awareness and Resolution

  • Accountability

  • Policies & Procedures
