This strategy ensures that learning processes are not only effective, but also highly relevant and immediately actionable.

SAP Training Concept

The aim of the SAP training concept is to identify the appropriate strategies for the desired learning outcome as well as the activities and framework conditions required to achieve this.

The training concept should provide a clear understanding of what activities and framework conditions must be implemented so that the defined training requirements are achieved. Ultimately, all end users will have the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to use the new SAP S/4HANA system and other SAP applications efficiently and effectively in their workflow.

Needs analysis for the SAP training concept

  • To select the optimal training method, it is essential to analyze the quantity structure as well as the geographical and linguistic distribution of end users.
  • This information is essential to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the training program and, if necessary, to select supporting tools.

Roles in the training project

From end users to experts – training roles are multifaceted. The three most important training roles with clear objectives are the end user, the expert, and the key user. Depending on the user group, there may also be a subject matter expert (SME) for the respective SAP module.

SAP End User

Objective: End users possess the necessary knowledge to efficiently and effectively carry out daily work in the SAP system.

SAP Expert

Objective: Experts are end users with in-depth system knowledge and act as the first point of contact for other end users from their user groups.

SAP Key User

Objective: Key users are competent contact persons for end users (second level), experts, and demand IT in all module-relevant matters.

SAP Enable Now vs. traditional training

  1. Direct costs: The direct costs of both methods differ significantly. While classroom training often incurs high room and material costs, e-learning primarily requires investments in technology and the platform itself.
  2. Indirect costs and savings: Indirect costs such as lost time, travel costs, and logistics can be substantial when classroom training is used. E-learning with SAP Enable Now reduces many of these costs by allowing participants to learn regardless of their location.
  3. Scalability and long-term costs: The scalability of e-learning programs such as SAP Enable Now is a key advantage over classroom training, especially as the number of participants increases. In the long term, cost savings can be significant.
  4. Quality and efficiency: It is important to consider the quality and efficiency of the knowledge transfer. E-learning methods often offer more flexible and efficient ways to deliver learning content.

  • For up to 200 users, classroom training is the first choice, as it enables direct interaction and individual coaching.

  • Upwards of 250 users, hybrid training combining e-learning and classroom training becomes more relevant. A key advantage is that online training can be accessed at any time and from any location, which supports the individual learning process. This model is particularly appealing to younger generations, who tend to prefer digital learning formats.

  • In our experience, the break-even point for e-learning platforms sits somewhere in the region of 750 users. In any case, if you have more than 1,000 users, online training is the most efficient and cost-effective method of making content available to participants worldwide.

This is a challenge commonly faced by our clients. In many cases, the team in question is involved in day-to-day business as well as in the SAP project and is therefore already working at full capacity.

We have already supported numerous go-lives and can thus draw on our extensive knowledge of key factors. Our approach is as follows:

  • Utilize existing training resources: We analyze which standard e-learning and in-app help resources are already available and whether they can be used for your processes. The more closely your processes align with SAP Best Practice standards, the more existing training content can be used in the form of plug-and-play solutions.ientieren, desto mehr vorhandene Schulungsinhalte können in Form von Plug-and-Play-Lösungen genutzt werden.
  • Combine and maximize: We import process recordings from SAP Signavio to create a structure. We then record the test executions with SAP Enable Now, which promptly provides us with training material.
  • Customization: If your organization makes use of many custom developments that deviate from the standard, we identify these and create a structured plan for the creation of new e-learning content.
  • Efficient content creation: After prioritizing the training content according to predefined criteria, we assign the tasks to the respective authors via the SAP Enable Now Manager. This allows for fast and efficient recordings.

We work step by step based on priority. In order to achieve a sustainable and qualitative result, it is important to create a plan, maintain an overview and still remain flexible.

We guide you through the entire training management process – from analyzing your current situation and developing a suitable training strategy to implementing and distributing the content to your end users.
