What is the standard number of weeks that SAP Ariba deployment services will support a standard Ariba P2P Project?

The standard number of weeks that SAP Ariba deployment services provides support for a typical Procure-to-Pay (P2P) project is 22 weeks. This timeframe is designed to encompass all critical phases necessary for a successful implementation, including initial assessment, design, configuration, testing, training, and post-deployment support.

During these 22 weeks, organizations can ensure that they have adequate time to configure the software according to their specific requirements and that users are effectively trained to optimize the system's use. This generous timeframe also accommodates any unforeseen challenges that may arise, allowing for adjustments and refinements to be made, ultimately leading to a smoother transition and better adoption of the Ariba platform within the organization's procurement process.

A deployment period shorter than this, such as 12 weeks, would likely not provide sufficient time to address all necessary elements for a comprehensive implementation, which could negatively affect the project's success and the users’ ability to leverage the system's capabilities fully.
