As a result of both internal and external factors, your organisation is constantly evolving. Your SAP system needs to adapt to these changes and continue to support your organisation in enhancing its competitive position.

Nexa Technologies works pro-actively with you to develop your SAP system over time. SAP software is constantly being enhanced and Nexa Technologies keeps a close watch on developments. We advise you of functionality available in new software releases and how this might benefit your business. We provide a full upgrade planning service covering both technical and functional aspects of moving to a new release and a complete upgrade implementation service.

As your SAP partner, Nexa Technologies is always on hand to discuss your ideas and make recommendations for change, focusing on how to enable you to obtain the best performance from your system and maximise the return on your investment.

If you have concerns about your SAP system and whether it is delivering real benefits for your organisation, why not contract Nexa Technologies to undertake a detailed audit of your solution?

System Audit

The symptoms of under-performing SAP solutions are many and varied including:

  • Existence of multiple business processes to achieve a single goal possibly resulting from corporate merger / acquisition and / or poor system integration
  • Focus on technical upgrades, leaving functional enhancements behind
  • Lack of system optimisation prior to or following projects involving additional functionality
  • Loss of key users – and with them knowledge of business processes
  • Inappropriate or awkward processes possibly resulting from poor initial implementation or having a solution imposed by head office
  • Disaffected / disillusioned users possibly as a result of poor or limited system training or failure to address change management issues during projects or poor data migration.
  • Slow response times possibly a result of poor technical planning / procedures or poorly developed reports
  • Data decay may result from staff not using transactions correctly and needing to rework them using external tools such as Excel or Access
  • Poor quality data – which impacts upon reporting and management information subsequently increasing the likelihood of poor decision-making.

    • Do any of these sound familiar? If you are experiencing performance problems of any kind, Nexa Technologies can help.

    Our System Audit service focuses on

  • Investigating the problems experienced by users of SAP.
  • Identifying solutions to address them. The service works like this.

    • Phase 1 – Specification Proposal

    This is essentially an initial scoping meeting, to allow us to get to know the system basics, such as release, platform, modules, number of users, key processes and problem areas requiring review.

    The key output from this activity is a proposal that scopes the audit and confirms timings and a fixed price.

    Phase 2 – Audit & Report

    Following the scope outlined in the proposal, selected Nexa Technologies consultants offering skills relevant to your system and processes spend time with your staff, exploring issues, clarifying understanding and reviewing functional and technical aspects of your system. Our aim is to get right under the skin of your SAP system and expose its flaws in detail, in order to determine changes that can be made to deliver real business benefits and/or improve upon those already in evidence.

    The key output from this activity is a report highlighting the audit findings and a set of recommendations for improvement.

    Phase 3 – Presentation of Results

    The final step in the System Audit involves Nexa Technologies developing and delivering a presentation which expands upon the key recommendations of the report and creates the opportunity for interactive discussion of the merits of each.

    System Audit Benefits

    Commissioning a system audit from Nexa Technologies will allow you to:

  • Gain an improved understanding of the weaknesses and under-performing aspects of your SAP system
  • Make informed decisions about how to develop and improve your SAP system, in line with business needs.
  • Develop a roadmap designed to deliver a greater return for your business on its investment in SAP

    • You can also call upon Nexa Technologies for assistance with the scoping, planning and delivery of enhancements and projects outlined in the audit report. Our precise involvement can be tailored to reflect the skills of your own resources so we can offer as much or as little support as you need to achieve your goals of enhanced performance and value from SAP.
