My Client is upgrading from Ecc 6 EHP 3 to EHP 7

1 Project Scope

Within our ECC environment we are running both Finance and HR (Full MSS & ESS) & Payroll. It is the intent of this project to deliver the following:-

• Technical implementation of ECC from 6.0 EhP3 to EhP7 with no new features being switched on.

• Technical upgrade to Enterprise Portal 7.4. We are currently running version 7.0.1 Portal.

• The Internal Portal (http:) supports all 14,000 “CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT” users of SAP. There are very few GUI users. We also run an External Portal (https:) which supports Schools HR users, limited Schools finance functionality and  a supplier portal which uses SRM for Invoice processing

• Technical upgrade of SAP PI and SLD from version 7.1 to 7.4
• Technical Upgrade of SAP BW from 7.01 to 7.4

• Upgrade of NWDI to version 7.4 – This will also involve the correction of broken tracks – details of which can be found in the attached document

• BPC will require an upgrade to Version 10

• The BIA’s (BWA’s) will need to be replaced with newer hardware technology running at version 7.20 – or a partial migration to HANA should be considered to offer no degradation in BW performance. A company called Centiq are our current suppliers of these appliances

• Given the interest from “CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT” to use Fiori it may be advantageous to implement Netweaver Gateway 2.0 as part of these upgrades (Suppliers should provide an optional cost to include this and/or Fiori and Personas as a technical implementation only (i.e. no functional exploitation)

• On the HR side, we also run Nakisa Org Chart which will also require a new version (fresh implementation on new hardware) and will need to be included in the scope of this work. The client has expressed an interest in implementing the Nakisa Organisation Management/Modelling product

• We also have talent Management, e-Recruitment and a heavily bespoked PDR solution.

• There is also a DPF (Digital Personal Files) solution which uses MAXDB at the backend as the content repository. The Content Server, which has more than 2m documents residing in it, is expected to be upgraded prior to the start of this project (and is therefore out of scope).

• For everything else (in Finance, HR and CRM) we use Documentum for our SAP Documents (via Records Management / Archive Link)

• On the Finance side, the key modules (in addition to the usual) are FI/AR, Funds Management (Public Sector budgeting) and Plant Maintenance (heavily used for Building Services projects). Project Systems, Grants Management and CATS.

• The significant integration is with ‘Tangro’ (www.tangro.de/en.html)

• Consideration needs to be given to the bespoke Interface front-end (Interface Framework) that was developed to provide management and control over the numerous PI and non-PI data feeds into ECC

• ECC Training landscape (refer to earlier diagrams)
  • Master training system 
  • Training clone systems

• Technical changes to ABAP code based on SPAU and SPDD which includes
  • Functional and technical documentation
  • Unit testing and documentation

• The Supplier will support “Confidential Client”:-
  • During the quality assurance (System and Integration testing), regression testing and user acceptance (UAT) testing and issue resolution
  • During testing of BI reports that relate to the ECC applications
  • Post implementation SAP checks

• This project would involve “Confidential Client”  resource doing the testing post Unit Test phase but the supplier performing any SAP based fixes – fixes to integration components outside of the SAP supplied software would be “Confidential Client”’s responsibility to fix, but within a project governance managed by the supplier and covering the full delivery of the project including SIT and UAT

• Defect Resolution (including governance of any dependent systems impact – although it may be preferable for “Confidential Client”

• Supplier hand over to “Confidential Client” support, including knowledge transfer, training and documentation to the “Confidential Client” support teams.

• Implementation of any new roles introduced as a result of the technical upgrade and Testing of Security and Authorisations to support the ECC applications

• Provision of post go-live / stabilisation support

Please advise how much time frame and if possible explanation on the same
