Welcome to the Optimal SAP Implementation Blog - An Inside View of Optimal's Internal SAP Implementation

For those of you who are not familiar with Optimal, some quick background. Optimal is the largest pure-play SAP consulting firm in the US with a 15 year history of serving clients with their SAP implementations around the world.   Headquartered in Dallas, TX Optimal has offices throughout the US, as well as in India, Canada, and Germany, with over 300 employees.

Over the years, like many of our peer mid-market companies, our business has evolved and grown rapidly. With that, our operations have increased in complexity and today we find ourselves in the very same situation that many of our new SAP clients find themselves in: internal operations based largely on manual processes, often fraught with redundancies, and lack of access to quality data for effective decision making.

Given our experience in deploying SAP to middle market companies, we have decided to now turn our energies on ourselves and show the world that we can eat our own cooking by deploying SAP internally to run our own operations. 

Many of our customers often ask what an SAP implementation is like. In order to help answer that question, we’ve decided to take a unique approach.  Through a series of daily blog entries and weekly videos, we hope to capture the essence of what goes on in an SAP implementation.  In this process, we will try to be as transparent as possible, outlining both the successes and challenges associated with this effort. 

Over the next few months, we hope you will join us along in this journey.  We hope you will find this blog to be an interesting look at what everyday activities make up an project of this nature.  We also appreciate your feedback as we continue along in the process.
