Big Product Suite<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Enterprise Irregular Dennis Howlett<\/a>\u00a0 and Vital Analysis founder Brian Sommer have teamed up to write a single, definitive report on SAP’s Business ByDesign product suite.\u00a0 While both of them have blogged and\/or developed short research reports on this product suite,\u00a0both parties believed that something this big and expansive deserved a more nuanced, deliberate review.<\/p>\n

The report has been written and is awaiting a final fact-check from SAP. We are also awaiting a couple of graphic files to insert into the document.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It takes a comprehensive report to cover a comprehensive product suite like SAP\u2019s Business ByDesign. This is a product suite that involved the efforts of thousands of developers and took approximately five years to bring to market. While much has been written about Business ByDesign, this report succinctly summarizes it all in a compact 20-page analysis. We examine subjects such as:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>The Target Buyer for Business ByDesign<\/strong> \u2013 Do you have what it takes to be a Business ByDesign user?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Process Design vs. Functional Silos<\/strong> \u2013 This may be the single most important choice you make in buying a SMB software solution<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Product Review<\/strong> \u2013 A walkthrough of the 8 major functional components of Business ByDesign along with our requests for needed improvements in each area<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Vertical Assessment<\/strong> \u2013 How well does Business ByDesign serve your industry?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Product Enhancements<\/strong> \u2013 Where should\/will SAP expend its future efforts? What role will channel partners play?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Technical Enhancements<\/strong> \u2013 Is the software delivering the performance that both you and SAP demand now?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Competitive Assessment<\/strong> \u2013 How does this solution stack up against Workday, NetSuite and other on-demand ERP offerings?<\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span>Author Summaries<\/strong> \u2013 See what our two report authors think. These are two of the software industries most visible and long-lived pundits.<\/p>\n

The report is out for fact checking and will come out under\u00a0the Vital Analysis<\/a> brand. We\u2019re hoping it will be available for delivery by the end of next week. Yes, it is a paid for item because a combined 65+ years\u2019 experience applied to this kind of thing doesn\u2019t come free, especially when you\u2019ve put in a lot of time into understanding the product, its position and value to the market.<\/p>\n

For professionals looking to extend their consulting practices, we believe ByDesign is a superb opportunity to get deep into what your clients\u2019 businesses really do, how they\u2019re shaped and the problems they meet. I\u2019m encouraging practitioners to consider this as a way of massively improving the value they offer. It requires the kind of mindset that professionals need to be both methodical and have that all important eye for detail. Learning the solution is not the issue for new people. Understanding process most certainly is.<\/p>\n
