Dear arunteja vasan ,

GAP Analysis

A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.

In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.

Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.

Cut Over Plans

Detailed plans need to be developed for cutting over from the old system(s) to the new. Parallel runs of what will happen over the conversion period using test data, convert and watch for a period after wards to ensure nothing unexpected happens.

Train Users

Well trained users will support and defend the system on site. Unsupportive users will continually undermine the system and eventually it will be replaced. Therefore the more effort you put into helping the users master the system early the better.

Do award points if you found them useful.

Hi,

Gap Analysis:

Without knowing where you are, it is hard to decide where to go. A Gap Analysis report assesses your current compliance to a given standard. Based upon a visit to your company we will prepare a detailed report about areas that need attention and/or development and make recommendations on actions to take to become compliant.

If you know that you would like assistance in your registration efforts do not go though this added expense. Clients who select our Accelerated Registration Program do not need a Gap Analysis since everything that is needed for registration is included in that program; ensuring that any gaps are filled.

If you are unsure of your needs, or where you stand, we recommend that you do get an outside opinion via a Gap Analysis. Do not wait for the Pre-Audit or a Registration Audit to find out your approach is incomplete or incorrect. That is an expensive way to discover your problems and moreover the Registrar can not consult and tell you what you can do to solve any problems. All they can do is point the problems out.

A Gap Analysis report is not for everyone, but it can play an important role in your registration effort to both guide your activities early on and give you assurance in your approach.

*Hope it adds info
