Feasibility for a new production system in the same environment

[sujit_sharma]

Dear friends,

Our management has come up with a requirement of expansion of SAP environment to cover up users in a different country for their francise over there. The options we are considering are below:

1. Implementing a whole new setup ( ECC, EP,BI, PI,Trex).

2. Expanding the lease lines between the sites in both the countries and providing access to the present setup itself with enhancement in the current hardware configuration.

or is it a good practice to keep a new Production system in the other country and add a new delivery route for the new production system within the current transport route ? How the license part may be taken care in these cases ?

Your suggestions are welcomed.

Many thanks,

SUJIT

Hi Sujit,

The answer to this question really depends on whether the new country is going to share much of the same configuration with some tailoring to local laws and requirements.  If the system is going to be the same, then there is now reason to deploy a new system unless you are reaching technical limits for hardware.  For ease of management and usage, then having one system is preferred.  You can then upgrade your network to cope with the increased load and hardware as required. 

Hope this helps,

Graham

Hi Graham,

Thanks for your kind response, As you said "new country is going to share much of the same configuration with some tailoring to local laws and requirements."  Yes its gonna be some changes i.e. currency and holidays will differ but the business functionalities will remain almost same for the organiztion.

Which solution is more likely suitable from my first post in this case ?

Thanks-SUJIT

Hi Sujit,

Currency differences are fine - that's exactly what SAP is for -  so solution 2:

"2. Expanding the lease lines between the sites in both the countries and providing access to the present setup itself with enhancement in the current hardware configuration."

is the best way to proceed.
