How to add business value and benefit from immediate cost savings.

  SAP Business Partner - Capgemini

Your SAP upgrade isn’t just about saving costs: it is also about achieving functional excellence and assuring maintenance and compliance throughout the system lifetime – all vital for a top performing IT organisation. In addition, delaying an upgrade increases the risk of falling behind competitors in functionality and agility. So why wait?

Capgemini can help you stay ahead of the game. Our extensive experience of upgrading over a million SAP users in multiple clients will ensure you reduce both the cost of your SAP upgrade and the total cost of system ownership.

Our SAP Experience and Capability

As one of the four largest SAP System Integrators globally, Capgemini works in partnership with both SAP and diverse hardware vendors to ensure you reduce the TCO of your SAP system. We work collaboratively with our clients to define an upgrade business case and project justification – a key Capgemini differentiator in the SAP upgrade process – and give you a view of the ‘art of the possible’.

Upgrading your SAP system in partnership with Capgemini will ensure that you yield a rapid return on investment and spread the risk of change. Here are just some of the ways in which we help you save costs in your upgrade:

  • SAP upgrade factory & Rightshore®
    Our SAP offshore centre of excellence uses the Capgemini Rightshore® methodology, enabling us to provide you with the optimum use of the right resources at just the right time. This minimises costs and risks, while ensuring the highest project quality
  • Affordable subscription model
    You can spread the cost of your upgrade investment and subsequent support with one of our flexible commercial models. Our subscription model allows you to pay on a regular basis, e.g. monthly or quarterly, rather than paying for everything up front
  • Delivery assurance
    Our accelerated delivery methodology offers you the assurance of ROI in just one year.

In partnership

We have global alliances with both SAP and IBM® that ensure we can help you streamline your processes, infrastructure and operations with cutting-edge technology and industry-specific solutions.

Our combined approach to implementing your SAP applications on IBM infrastructure provides you with an opportunity to renew your infrastructure and migrate to a single IBM DB2® database platform – IBM’s DB2 9 is SAP’s “preferred and recommended” database for its current generation of solution. You will reduce your business risk by cutting complexity, managing your SAP applications more efficiently and reducing the cost of your ERP environment.
