We’ve outlined nine questions to ask your SAP implementation partner to establish a strong foundation for success. Download the full guide here.

SAP implementations are complex by nature. They touch core processes, data, people, and long-standing ways of working, all while asking organizations to keep the business running. That complexity alone is enough to challenge even the most prepared teams. Too often, though, SAP programs become harder than they need to be because critical conversations never happen at the very beginning, when expectations are set and decisions are still flexible. 

The reality is that many of the outcomes of an SAP implementation are determined long before the first workshop or configuration decision. They’re shaped during partner selection, when timelines are proposed, teams are described, and assumptions quietly make their way into contracts.   

Asking the right questions early, before you choose an implementation partner and commit to a path forward, can clarify expectations and set the foundation for success. By taking the time to understand how timelines are developed and how delivery teams are organized, organizations can reduce uncertainty and limit avoidable challenges later in the program. 

We’ve compiled a list of nine key questions that are designed to create clarity early, when expectations and assumptions are still being formed. The way a partner responds offers insight into their delivery approach and how they manage risk throughout an SAP implementation.
