How can your organization benefit from the separation of the technical and functional portions of an SAP implementation?

With deep integration into every aspect of day-to-day business operations it is critical to ensure that the initial SAP implementation provides both a sound functional and technical base for long-term business operations. There are several reasons why otherwise successful integrators struggle to implement the SAP technical infrastructure properly and fail to set up cost-effective, sustainable operations. In this white paper learn about the five reasons why one should separate the technical from the functional during an SAP implementation and why choosing separate providers offer enterprises a better path to success and a faster ROI.

Many organizations struggle with decisions on how to best incorporate SAP HCM into their technical environment. The question that often arises is whether or not to implement HCM on a separate landscape. This consideration is a key concern for smaller organizations that cannot afford the financial burden of an additional landscape. In the end, many companies do choose to maintain a separate HCM landscape however, issues such as data security and privacy concerns do not have to be the driving factors in making this decision.

In this webinar Kellie Fitzpatrick (Symphony) and Scott Goolik (Symmetry) discuss the pros and cons of implementing HCM on a separate instance and why data security and privacy issues should not be the only deciding factors when implementing HCM. They also cover some of the most common misconceptions about HCM security.

• Review general concepts of SAP HCM authorizations; how they are used, how they are different, and some of the critical "gotchas."
• Learn methods to effectively manage HCM security in a shared environment.
• Determine when you should consider a separate landscape and when you should consider a combined landscape.
• Understand the limitations of implementing on a separate instance and the level of maintenance required.
• See real-life examples of companies that have implemented on separate landscapes, those that have implemented on the same landscape, and why that decision was right for them.
• Take home action-items to follow up on in your environment:

o Details of specific Authorization Objects that require restrictions.
o Techniques to protect data in non-Production systems.
