Hi Naveen,

As an SAP XI proof of concept...

First you need to understand what what Business System your are integarting or migrating any existing Interfaces in that case...you need to analysis how the interface is developed in that particular Tool..you need to analys the code if and business functionality with the Buiness Analyst and with the endusers..

This will be done usually for set of interfaces but not a single interface as an when the requirements,Business Process list,architecture,Communication plan,logic data model,usecase ...

you need to do design documents in which you need to explain you interace design and flow of it and design mapping documents for partiuclar inteface...

accoding to the time factor the initial face takes some time but designing document and mapping spec takes around 2 to 4 days

Prakash and Ashok,

Thanks for your replies.

But how many days do u think this is going to last...

It depends on the number of interfaces in the first place...

Are there any other factors that would effect...

Hi Naveen,

There is no specific duration one can give... this will last until the presentation or the demo date. May be you will be given 5 interface and asked to complete in 2 days or even 20 days it totally depends. PoC are unlike projects you will not have have a estimate for it but deadline yes you will..

Hi,

1. To select some scenario which would showcase the capability of the consultant and XI as well. Sometime the scenarios might be available already so XI consultant should understand it and give a best approach.

2. Design, configure and give a demo using the scenario with many possibilities.
