SAP AG announced the availability of the first SAP enhancement package for mySAP ERP and revealed the details of its road map for mySAP ERP. The package is available to customers running mySAP ERP 2005. The announcement was made at SAP’s Analyst Summit, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this week.
Enhancements to the mySAP ERP through 2010 will be made available as extensions to mySAP ERP 2005 in a series of optional enhancement packages, which can be configured in a modular fashion (i.e. letting users activate only the features that they want).
The first enhancement includes enterprise services for human capital management (HCM) and financials applications, as well as specific industry enhancements for the retail and manufacturing industries.
SAP added service-level agreements monitoring and employee interaction center analytics in HCM. For financials, the software giant developed functionality for credit and collection management, which includes credit report monitoring, collections management analytics, and enterprise services for the integration to external credit information providers.
SAP added demand management and point-of-sale (POS) integration for the retail industry, and incorporated its acquisitions of Triversity’s POS and Khimetric’s pricing optimization solutions into ERP. For manufacturing, SAP integrated manufacturing execution systems, manufacturing work instructions, and quality management into the ERP system.
SAP plans to deliver two to three enhancement packages per year. These can contain both functional and technical enhancements as well as enterprise services for mySAP ERP.
The enhancements will be concentrated in areas such as user interface simplification, helping manage talent in companies, and improving financial collaboration. Each enhancement package will also include enterprise services for a particular business scenario, the definition of these services in the enterprise service repository, and applications consuming those services. The documentation is being provided via an interactive Wiki format.
