Accelerated SAP (ASAP) is SAP’s rapid implementation solution,

specificallydesignedtostreamlineand standardize theimplementation

process to achieve mission-critical business functionality as soon as

possible. AcceleratedSAP optimizes time, quality, and efficient use of

resources for your implementation. While allowing you to exploit the

value of SAP as quickly as possible, ASAP also lays the foundation for

continuous improvement, which is why ASAP supports not only the

ASAP was released over three years ago, and has since been used in

more than 1000 projects worldwide. More than 18,000 SAP or partner

consultants havebeen trained inASAP.In the spiritof TeamSAP, many

of SAP’s implementation partners have either adopted ASAP as their

intotheirownmethodology(PoweredbyAcceleratedSAPPartners).

ASAP, the process component of the TeamSAP initiative, is SAP’s

implementation solution for efficient SAP projects. ASAP combines a
