Success Story: Israel Airports Authority and the SAP ERP project.

Leading the specifications and requirements process for selecting the optimal supplier for implementing a SAP ERP system that will be used by about 1,500 people.

Project Objectives:

The Israel Airports Authority has hundreds of back-office computer systems that were written and operate using different technologies. It was therefore decided to replace many of them with modern SAP ERP systems.

The project focused on a range of activities for preparing the RFP and tender documents and RFP. The aim was to assist the IAA with the tender-issuing process, in order to choose the optimal applications company for setting up the SAP ERP systems for about 1,500 users.

The Work Process:

• Mapping existing systems (that will be replaced or interfaced with the SAP).
• Analyzing, examining, and defining the Authority’s main work processes.
• Defining the commercial requirements.
• Defining the basket of services.
• Defining the prerequisites
• Defining the requirements for the project team and additional professionals, and determining the prerequisites for all leading players.
• Defining methodologies for executing the project.
• Defining requirements for training, implementing, and supporting the process before, during, and after the launch.
• Defining all stages of the project.

Value for the Customer:

As part of the project, we defined the minimal scope of work that was expected from each professional and for each wave. An extended and flexible model was developed for planning and estimating the cost of the project. A range of possible solutions were presented and the submitted bids were examined, based on predetermined criteria, at the set date. Each participant in the tender was awarded an overall score. The implementing company was chosen on time and the project was completed in full as expected.
