Hi All,
As we all know that deploying SAP Simple Finance is a costly activity, so from the customer point of view could any one specify convincing reasons on why customers should transform from SAP ECC to Simple Finance.
Below are some of the reasons which I know, but they aren't convincing to change the mindset of customers.
1. Reduced redundancy, aggregations- Leading to increase in speed.
Customer's view: Why should I change to Simple finance just for increasing the speed of my routine activities. Decrease in the speed by some minutes is not what we expect for.
2. Faster Period end closing activities - Fast close
Customer's view: This also isn't that appealing for us as, usually any closing program would take some hours for execution and with simple finance it has just got done to few minutes or seconds. So, only for reducing the time required for period end closing or improving some performance measures we would not like to do such a costly transformation.
3. SAP FIORI- Simplified user experience
Customer's view: We are happy to work on our existing device from office.Just to make SAP available on all employee devices we would not do the transformation.
4. New Asset Accounting/new posting logic to post to different ledgers:
Customer's view: In standard ECC we are happy with using the delta areas and we are also able to post to all the ledgers as expected. So, why would we want to transform to simple finance just for new posting logic.
So, as you see as the above reasons aren't that convincing to change mind of customers to do the transformation to Simple Finance. So, could any one guide me or give some strong reasons ( some examples like some reports which really are a big change in Simple Finance) which would help me in presenting Simple finance in a better way.
Also, could any one let me know how much time should we say to customer to finish the complete migration to Simple Finance.
