„The implementation of SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP ERP 6.0 was much easier than upgrading a full release. We installed all the software components that we could get in order to be open to implement further innovations at minimized cost at any time.‟

Innovate -

Just in Time

Innovation – activate new

functionality on demand.

Cost reduction

functional enhancements,

ideally silent as part of

Martin Kling, Head of Group Financials,TreuHandStelle GmbH

„We were delighted that no side effects occurred at all outside the activated new functional capability. The EHP concept allowed us to fulfill requirements years before we will start our next release upgrade. The end-user reactions were very positive and no critical issues occurred.‟

Stephan Polster, Project Manager, ThyssenKrupp Steel

„We implemented enhancement package 2 in order to use the new capabilities for Bank Relationship Management. No critical issues occurred. The implementation was very easy.‟
