Some of the benefits that a SAP COE offers include a repository of SAP deployment best practices, a central point-of-contact for all SAP-related matters, a place where strong competencies can be developed, a means to enhance the value of SAP solutions, improved SAP personnel retention, and improved service levels. While there is an investment involved in creating a SAP COE, with many organizations running dozens or hundreds of SAP systems, there can be a significant organizational benefit to setting up a COE.
Key Considerations for SAPinsiders
- Building a successful COE requires planning and investment, both from a financial and a resource perspective.According to David Jantzen and Dan Haynes of Deloitte, some of the key steps to setting up a successful SAP COE include ensuring appropriate leadership, defining how the organization will work, building tight relationships with business and IT teams, and defining appropriate metrics.
- You can boost the success of your SAP COE by developing and defining the right metrics. Many organizations view their SAP COE as little more than a support organization. However, given the value of SAP systems and the resources invested in the COE itself, this could limit the overall value the team can provide. By developing the right metrics, it is possible to transform the COE from a support team to a key part of the business. In this article SAPinsider speaks with Ken Grady of Novartis about how the company appropriately defined metrics to help transform its SAP COE into a valuable part of the business.
