It used to be that when companies wanted to implement SAP software they began with a blank screen (or even a piece of paper). Since SAP Rapid Deployment solutions, thousands of customers have experienced software implementations that are faster, easier, and more affordable than ever thought possible. Now, SAP has published the definitive guide to understanding exactly what these packaged software solutions are, and how they are revolutionizing the software industry.

“Rapid Deployment of SAP Solutions” was authored by 30 SAP experts from the company’s rapid-deployment team and members of the SAP Active Global Support, SAP Services, SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and Sales groups. The book features real-world lessons learned from the implementation experiences of 17 companies, and details how they used the solutions’ predefined services, best practices content by industry, and enablement.

Cases focus on the full spectrum of rapid-deployment solutions including pre-packaged offerings as well as integration with and migration to SAP innovations such as SAP HANA, cloud-based solutions, and the SAP Fiori mobile apps. Featured industries include sports and entertainment, life science, chemical, healthcare, industrial machinery and manufacturing, energy, and consumer products.
