Symmetry Announces Technical Architecture Assessment & Roadmap Service

November 17, 2008

Symmetry Corporation, the Basis Experts, are pleased to announce the addition of a Technical Architecture Assessment & Roadmap Service to their product line up.

This service helps SAP Project Managers and CIOs to understand the current status of their SAP infrastructure and how it will need to evolve to support planned initiatives and maintain operational levels over the foreseeable future.

“With the current economic situation our clients are under enormous pressure to deploy the right IT solutions at the right prices,” said Dan Wilhelms, President of Symmetry Corporation. “We’re very excited to offer a service that allows our clients to save time and money on planning and project work.”

Cost effective management of an SAP system requires a sound knowledge of the inter-dependencies between hardware, operating systems, databases, SAP, and third party applications. Symmetry’s Basis Experts have the experience to identify how the technology works together, how it can be optimized, and what actions you need to take ensure your systems meet the prerequisites for a new initiative.

“We often see situations where a client has decided to upgrade hardware or software only to find out a year or two later that the upgrade isn’t providing the optimal level of performance expected, or that they didn’t plan for enough storage to meet their needs,” said Cindy Rasey, Practice Manager at Symmetry.

“Clients taking advantage of the Technical Architecture Assessment & Roadmap Service are saving themselves time and money by putting a strategic purchasing plan in place and by making sure that they don’t run into costly surprises and project delays from unknown prerequisites,” said Rasey.

The SAP Technical Architecture Assessment & Roadmap Service is carried out by a Senior Basis Consultant and provides clients with a 24 month project plan outlining the recommended optimal sequencing and timing of activities.
