SAP applications are the pillar of every 
business. Thus, executives put all their efforts 
into making a successful SAP implementation. 
However, several SAP implementations fail 
despite all the struggles and efforts. For an SAP 
implementation to be successful, it is imperative 
to consider, make a plan, and follow all the main 
stages of the process.
There are key stages in the SAP implementation 
process. For example, ASAP or Accelerated SAP is on 
the standard project preparation methodology. As 
such, there are seven key stages in the SAP 
implementation process, which includes:
1.    Project Planning includes 
planning the project after 
considering all the factors and 
details, which can be 
challenging due to broad-
spectrum. So, to create an 
efficient SAP roadmap, you 
must select the best 
implementation partners.
2. Business Blueprint: Before SAP implementation, it 
is crucial to outline and understand your business 
process thoroughly. You will always find gaps 
between your future and current business processes. 
Thus, to mitigate such differences or gaps, create a 
blueprint document and ascertain smooth SAP 
implementation.
3.    Realization: Moving on to baseline configuration, 
your SAP implementation partner can configure the 
baseline system when you have analyzed the gap. 
The team tunes the system to fulfill your 
requirements for the process as well as business. 
Besides, it will help to eliminate the gaps found in 
the blueprint. Making adjustments and converting 
non-productive systems to blend the existing 
infrastructure with SAP begins at this stage.
