Todays New RealityThe context in which businesses operate today

Todays Business Challenges

Economic climate demands for a fast return on investment , often within the same year of the implementation

Business requirements tend to have earlier expiration dates due to the climate changes

Companies must see act fast and clearly

Customers ask for Implementation Acceleration and Best Practices

Look for ways to maximize business value

Ask for Visibility on the progress of projects and want measurable results early

Express the need to get it right for the first time

Customers want smaller, focused projects with fast ROI (Henning Kagermann, preliminary result meeting 2009)

Implementation AccelerationBroader than Agile

Acceleration is based on sustainable assets and the re-usable content, as well as tools andtechnology that provide a structure for re-use

Acceleration can be accomplished through the elimination of unnecessary work steps withinthe implementation life cycle

Acceleration of implementation and lowering of overall cost can often best be realized throughgetting it right the first time, eliminating the need for rework and associated delays

Acceleration can be achieved through compression techniques such as parallelization of activities and new work shop approaches

If your only tool is a hammer, then every problem begins to look like a nail.
