• Security - CONFIG_ALL extended to pre-qualified team members. View only to balance of team.
Sprint #3
• Process - Significant integration. Represents the full integration but does not exercise all functionality but establishes the
functionality capability between data and processes across teams. RICEFW objects are significant but not complete.
• Data - First Conversion RICEFW finished.
• Security - CONFIG_ALL extended to pre-qualified team members. View only to balance of team. End user security identified
for user acceptance testing.
Sprint #4
• Process - Final execution of all end to end business processes. All data is available to exercise all business processes.
RICEFW objects are as complete as possible given infrastructure and technical capabilities.
• Data - All Conversion RICEFW finished.
• Security - CONFIG_ALL extended to qualified team members. View only to balance of team. End user security identified for

“NTT DATA grew its SAP business during the past
years massively to above 10,000 SAP people globally.
Hereby, NTT DATA’s One Method plays the key role to
providing highest quality in SAP implementation to
employees and clients. The reason for success is
owing to the great structure and content of SAP
Activate, which NTT DATA continuously adopts to
provide the best SAP standards to its people. SAP
Activate has everything NTT DATA needs, because it
covers the best expertise in S/4HANA and Cloud, and
is being increasingly used for the new
implementations, conversions, and transformations of
our clients.”
“We are lock step with SAP on their
Activate journey which is designed to
achieve value faster through the
application of agile techniques.”
“The release of SAP Activate has been perfectly
timed for a market demanding the use of Rapid
Deployment Solutions and deployed using Agile
techniques. IBM has wholeheartedly embraced
Activate and Agile within its own new IBM Ascend
methodology and Impact Industry Solution. Our
Clients have welcomed this new approach that
generates faster speed to value under a lower risk
delivery approach.”
“Cognizant has been using the SAP Activate innovation
adoption framework to accelerate many digital
transformation programs for clients. The combination of
Activate and Cognizant’s own hybrid agile methodology has
helped us to take a programmatic approach that clients have
welcomed because of the increased transparency, improved
quality and agile infused adaptability it provides.”
“SAP Activate formalizes the agile, lean, and
DevOps approach Capgemini embraces to help
clients achieve market leadership in the face of
unrelenting change. That’s why we fully commit
to the SAP Activate Framework — because we
measure our value to clients by how fast, how
often, and how well we help them innovate.”
“T-Systems has been achieving best results for its
customers by blending SAP Methodologies with
its own. The SAP Activate innovation adoption
framework has introduced a kick start method for
total digital transformation. T-Systems offers its
customers the best of both worlds for accelerated
SAP S/4HANA implementations from end-to-end
through the use of standardized transformation
packages, agile methods and best practice. The
tools and templates from the SAP Activate
framework combined with T-Systems own SAP
S/4HANA Transformation methodology reduces
project risks and delivers faster customer
success.”

“SAP has an Activate process which really helps takes those
best practices and drives standardization, particularly for
cloud.”
“It’s really important that it’s a journey you want to go on from a
change management perspective and that Activate Methodology
really helped us sit down and look at our processes and then
map to best practices and common business practices.”
Kris Cowles, VP, Global Application IT, Topcon Corp.
SAPPHIRE NOW 2018 Orlando, June 2018
Carrier discusses how SAP Activate guided them on their
implementation journey – focusing on the fit-to-standard
approach.
“For us fit-to-standard meant that we could make a transformation,
make a migration, convert the organization on to a standard that is
continuously moving... we looked at it as a business transformation,
the ability to say ‘what are the best practices,’adopting those from
our partners – fitting our organization into those approaches and
then being able to move forward in a rapid pace.”
