What have you got on your SAP agenda?

The faster the world of business changes, the more important is that

IT strategy and business strategy go hand in hand. After all, innovative

SAP systems are what it takes to bring new products and services to

market quickly and reliably. At the same time, however, increasing

competition is exerting downward pressure on margins and prices.

That means todays CIOs are confronted with the challenge of finding

the right balance between optimal support for the business processes

on the one hand and an affordable IT budget on the other hand. In the

SAP area, there are four key issues that call for ongoing enhancement.

Innovation with existing applications or introduction of

new SAP applications

Changes in business processes can be efficiently implemented only

with the support of modern application landscapes. Thats why

operational business areas expect fast deployment of application

innovations from their IT departments. Of course, the increasing cost

of maintaining old SAP versions is another concern that speaks in favor

of innovation. On the other hand, the cost of migration or deployment

and a lack or capacity or qualified IT personnel are factors that inhibit

innovation. Since business units cannot opt for innovations no matter

what they cost, migration has to be very efficient and cost transparent.


3/16

Optimization of IT infrastructures

New applications and versions generally require more compute power

and storage capacity. And that in turn necessitates additional invest-

ments in hardware. The question then arises as to how to achieve the

increase in SAPS with the least possible investment, which means

with a low initial investment and expenditure thereafter as the project

progresses. This represents the only way to achieve flexible, organic

expansion of an IT infrastructure and optimal use of capacity at the

same time. Of course, it is equally necessary to achieve high availability

management and disaster recovery without incurring an explosive

increase in costs.

Efficient operation

Investments in new IT infrastructures often account for only a relatively

small share of total costs since operating expense can be much higher.

Many IT organizations also complain that they have to allocate exces-

sive personnel resources to operation of the infrastructure, which of

course means these resources are lacking elsewhere, for example, in

the area of application development, for innovation projects or at theprocess level. That forces companies to ask themselves whether and

to what extent they should operate their IT infrastructure themselves.

Quick, easy availability of data for decision-making purposes

The greater the number of SAP applications in production, the greater

the volume of data from the SAP landscape that has to be evaluated

to be able to make tactical and strategic decisions. That results in

increasingly complex queries involving increasingly large volumes

of data. Here are two typical problems frequently encountered in this

context:

Companies often have too few IT specialists who are able to carry out

complex queries after all, analyses essentially involve program-

ming. As a result, it becomes virtually impossible for employees in

operational departments who lack IT skills to make spontaneous

queries.

Complex queries take several hours, but less time is available for

analyses in todays business environment.

Fujitsus goal is Running SAP better, which means Fujitsu offers a

seamless portfolio of products, solutions and services designed to give

you optimal support in all key areas.

IBA migrates to SAP ERP 6.0 with Fujitsu

IBA, a leading provider of solutions for cancer diagnosis and therapy, migrated

its SAP system to SAP ERP 6.0 with Fujitsu. The entire project from the initial

feasibility study up to completion of the upgrade took only months.

Innovation and Managementof SAP Applications

or services but is held back by the complexity of its system is likely to

find that SAP ERP 7 provides the key to more flexible business process-

es. Today, the upgrade strategy of most companies usually involves

an initial phase during which the technical upgrade is carried out

and the IT infrastructure consolidated and modernized in order to

reduce costs. Further tactical and strategic issues such as stabilization

of IT, entry into SOA, implementation of new functionalities and

harmonization of business processes are then usually addressed in

a second phase.

In addition to the issue of application innovation, companies are

confronted with other challenges:

International availability of applications, perhaps even across

several time zones, with uniform service levels

New requirements have to be covered despite the lack of the

necessary personnel

Expertise required for application innovation is either not

available or not available on a timely basis

Compliance with service levels

The SAP applications of most companies have grown and undergone

significant change over time, for example, due to the creation of

new business areas, acquisitions, joint ventures or changes in exist-

ing business processes. That not only results in high operating costs

and a loss of transparency but also makes it increasingly difficult to

support new business processes within the organization. In order to

achieve sustainable improvements in terms of productivity, cost

savings and competitiveness, a company must realign and improve

these processes constantly. SAP ERP 7 offers more flexibility and

functionality to support ongoing business activities than previous

SAP releases that are still being used by many companies today. Since

standard maintenance is no longer available for older SAP versions,

the question arises as to whether the time has come to start planning

for an upgrade or whether to continue to live with higher costs for

software, hardware and support.

When various SAP systems are used, or even different versions, the

additional cost can be significant. In such cases, an upgrade may be

worthwhile for a company. Any company looking for ways to imple-ment a strategy based on shorter innovation cycles for its products

Services to optimize SAP IT infrastructures

SAP SystemInspection Service from Fujitsu provides a proven approach

that makes it possible to obtain optimal results when dimensioning

SAP landscapes. This approach is intended to support assessment for

two application areas: Analysis of performance bottlenecks and pro-

jections for continued operation or support for upgrade, migration and

consolidation projects. SAP SystemInspection Service makes parameters

such as performance, capacity and response behavior completely

transparent. It localizes existing and future bottlenecks and thereby

helps to maintain and improve service levels while at the same time

ensuring the overall economy of the SAP landscape. This service

provides all information required for economical sizing recommen-

dations in connection with upgrade and migration projects. SAP

SystemInspection Service from Fujitsu lets you make strategic deci-

sions on the basis of irrefutable facts the data on your own SAP IT

infrastructure.

Optimizationof SAP IT Infrastructures

New applications and versions generally require more compute power

and storage capacity. For example, SAP ERP, including Unicode, re-

quires about 0 to 0% more computing power and 0 to 70% more

storage capacity than SAP R/ .7. However, many companies could

also benefit from an upgrade since SAP system landscapes used to

be based primarily on RISC or mainframe platforms due to the high

demands in terms of performance, stability and security. At the very

latest, this platform strategy should be reconsidered when it comes

time to carry out a SAP upgrade. Industry-standard servers with x86

6-bit technology have already been the preferred platform for com-

panies for several years. And a look at the SAPS benchmark shows

why: x86 systems with two or four CPUs now even outperform newer

and larger RISC systems. The most recent virtualization technologies

are also being made available on x86 platforms and permit more

flexible operation and more efficient use of the capacity of system

resources. That adds up to enormous differences in the cost per SAPS.

In many cases, migration pays for itself after only 18 months because

of the savings in maintenance and support costs. The Linux servers

now used by hundreds of our customers provide ample proof of theirstability and performance in everyday productive operation.

Are you looking not only for technology but a solution to support

overall improvement in SAP operation?

If so, then you should consider FlexFrame for SAP. This IT infrastructure

solution from Fujitsu is ideal for the consolidation of SAP applications

on x86 platforms and offers unique virtualization and automation

technology. FlexFrame for SAP can not only manage an entire IT

infrastructure but also permits high availability management of SAP

applications at the same time. Many hundreds of companies of all

sizes and in all industries have already used this complete preintegrated

and tested solution to achieve across the board improvement in their

IT infrastructures and SAP operating processes. Here are a few key

characteristics of FlexFrame for SAP:

Pool architecture: All servers managed by FlexFrame for SAP

make up a pool of resources to permit dynamic allocation to SAP

applications as needed. For you, that means greater flexibility when

it comes to development, tests and production, better use of system

capacity and a high level of scalability. You can start out with just

a few servers and then expand FlexFrame for SAP to include sev-

eral hundred one at a time to suit your needs.

Uniform management of both virtual and physical servers: SAP

applications can be quickly shifted from physical to virtual servers

or the other way around. For you, that means simpler administration.

Seamless high availability: FlexFrame for SAP not only monitors

the availability of physical and virtual servers but also the SAP

applications themselves. And if something should happen to go

wrong, measures are automatically taken to restore service. For

you, that means higher service levels for end-users.

FlexFrame for SAP is preproduced in our Staging Center and is

ready-to-run when it leaves the center, which means SAP systems

can be installed only a few hours after delivery to the customer.

That shortens projects by several weeks, reduce personnel expense

and the cost for planning and implementation and, most impor-

tantly, make it possible to achieve high-quality SAP installations

from the very beginning.

The Dynamic Infrastructure solution from Fujitsu is afuture-oriented operating concept that speeds upand simplifies change management and upgrades.Following deployment, we increased availabilityto 100% and dramatically improved response times.

With FlexFrame for SAP, Fujitsu offers high-quality technical imple-

mentation and a management concept based on seamlessly aligned

processes. That results in significant advantages in terms of time,

expense and quality, not only during the planning and implementa-

tion phase but also during actual operation and development of the

system. Depending upon the concrete circumstances, FlexFrame forSAP can help you reduce the total cost of your SAP system landscape

by 60% or more.

Benefits in the planning and implementation phase

Planning and implementation with the FlexFrame management tool

guarantee that each project is carried out in compliance with best

practice standards. All components of FlexFrame for SAP are completely

compatible with one another and SAP software. The architecture

eliminates the need for costly cluster installations and provides the

ideal basis for implementation of disaster recovery concepts.

Benefits at the level of system operation and development

FlexFrame for SAP features integrated system and network monitor-

ing, uniform management of physical and virtual resources and an

administration tool for all tasks involved in IT infrastructure manage-

ment. That permits considerable simplification of coordination and

implementation. Since many activities are also automated and thecluster management is not required, the productivity during the

operational phase is significantly higher.

SAP environments are not static but instead undergo incessant change.

FlexFrame for SAP takes this into account in a unique way: The use

of innovative technology makes it possible to automate and simplify

standard operations such as operating system upgrades, assignment

of applications from physical to virtual servers and vice-versa, intro-

duction of new SAP systems, addition of servers to the infrastructure

or cloning of SAP systems for test purposes. As a result, new require-

ments can be accommodated significantly faster, more economically

and more reliably than in the case of conventional infrastructures. Andthat also applies to development since FlexFrame for SAP features

virtually unlimited scalability and can also be very easily scaled.

FlexFrame for SAP lets us offer a future-oriented solution that is based

on long-term technological cooperation with SAP and is also certified

for integration of SAPs Adaptive Computing Controller (ACC).K+S Group relies on FlexFrame for SAP to build its worldwide SAP landscape

The K+S Group, a world leading supplier of standard and specialty fertilizers,

expanded its SAP IT landscape to support ,000 users. The infrastructure and

software are now configured for dynamic alignment with the needs of business

processes.

REHAU achieves savings of over 80% with FlexFrame for SAP

Would you like to improve your SAP operations in terms of

quality and economy on an ongoing basis without acquiring

additional SAP expertise?

You can build on the global performance of Fujitsu. As one of only

three SAP Global Partners for technology, service and hosting, we can

deliver the solutions that will let you reduce your IT costs and at the

same time increase productivity, flexibility, availability and security.

Managed SAP IT Infrastructure from Fujitsu means we assume

responsibility for the duties that you delegate to us and deliver the

performance stipulated in service levels agreements. We can also

offer you the scope of services and delivery model it takes to meet

your requirements and goals. That gives you a fair, easy-to-understand

basis for calculation and permits reliable planning with transparent

cost estimates for your SAP operations. You can also count on first-class

service management in compliance with all international ITIL and ISO

standards to enhance operation. The spectrum of available services

extends from operation of your SAP infrastructure to support and

maintenance for your basic SAP system and databases or preventivemeasures such as backup or disaster recovery.

Since up to 70% of the normal IT budget goes to maintain ongoing

operation of SAP applications and the SAP IT infrastructure, the latitude

for investment in new technology and solutions to drive core activities

forward is very limited. As a result, the question arises as to how that

latitude can be expanded? The solution is a better division of labor.

The reason for this is that a companys own input is significantly higher

in the area of information technology than in the case of other produc-

tion processes. In addition, much work still has to be handled manually.

IT departments are also faced with the task of intensifying cooperation

with internal customers in the future so that the SAP system can

quickly provide the support required at the level of the companys

business activities. By partnering with Fujitsu, you can count on us

to plan the division of labor as a function of your specific needs and

give you the benefit of the cost advantages and capacity for inno-

vation in the area of IT operation we can offer as a leading SAP service

provider:

You benefit from the quality and reliability of our seamlessly

standardized services.

You can count on us for the support you need for anything fromindividual services to operation of complex, heterogeneous

infrastructures and application landscapes.

You decide what services you need and whether to have them per-

formed on site by our personnel or remotely from our data centers.

You can outsource responsibility for operational support or all opera-

tional services in compliance with precisely defined goals and service

level agreements.

administration of large volumes of data always entailed a decrease

in performance or f lexibility, if not both. BW Accelerator resolves the

traditional conflict between query speed and query complexity and

combines with SAP BusinessObjects Explorer and SAP Enterprise Search

to enable even inexperienced users to locate necessary information

quickly and easily by using intuitive interfaces.

Do you want to make maximum use of the potential offered by

the data in your SAP environment?

With SAP-certified BW Accelerator Infrastructure from Fujitsu, you

benefit from additional productivity and efficiency since BW Accelerator
