SAP R/3 implementation
The support capabilities of ARIS in the implementation of the R/3 standard software by SAP AG focus on the lifecycle of the ASAP implementation approach. However, in addition to ASAP, other approaches geared more towards business process optimization (in the broadest sense) are supported, as well. Parts of the ARIS support described in the following can be provided with ARIS Architect extension pack SAP® only.
Task: Analysis phase, Specification (project preparation)
The task is identifying the degree of coverage of the company-specific processes via the SAP® system, as well as timely identification of possible weak points.
ARIS support: If the analysis is not performed directly by the SAP R/3 reference model, the 'optimum business processes' to be supported can be modeled in ARIS (see general company documentation). By mapping the company model with the SAP R/3 reference model, an initial estimate of the degree of coverage can be obtained through reports.
Task: Design phase (Business Blueprint)
Process and/or function deficits were identified in the SAP R/3 reference model.
ARIS support: Based on existing R/3 reference model components, new process and scenario variants can be developed in ARIS. Furthermore, new functions, events, and rules can be added to process and scenario components (that is, through the development of new SAP® ABAP functions, if required).
Task: Design phase (Business Blueprint)
Design of interfaces between SAP® R/3 and non-SAP® applications.
ARIS support: The documentation of the attributes to be exchanged can be described in detail in process models in the ARIS Repository by assigning data or objects to functions and data models or object models. This information can also be output in the form of reports and establishes the basis for the development of interfaces.
Task: Design phase (Business Blueprint)
Development of the organizational design of business processes and the SAP® system.
ARIS support: The company's social structure and the SAP® organizational structure can be described and juxtaposed using organizational charts.
