Software AG today unveiled its latest Process Improvement Accelerator, Prime. Prime accelerates business optimization and automation projects based on specific industry requirements or cross-industry topics such as compliance, supply chain management (SCM) or customer relationship management (CRM) initiatives, resulting in better time-to-value. Prime was announced at the SAPPHIRE NOW and SAP TechEd 2011 conferences, being held November 8-10 in Madrid, Spain.

Prime combines methodology, blue-prints and industry specific best practices based on its award-winning Industry.PerformanceREADY offerings. Prime is based on industry standards such as ARIS and supports the creation and optimization of end-to-end processes based on a variety of applications such as solutions from SAP and platforms such as webMethods.

“With Prime we are delivering over 2,500 process blue-prints based on more than 20 years of industry knowledge and thousands of man-years accumulated experience,” said Ivo Totev, Software AG Group Executive Board member responsible for Global Consulting and Support. “This allows customers to revolutionize the way they improve their processes, resulting in a maximum return on investment and minimal time-to-value. This gives organizations the competitive edge needed in today’s economic climate.”

Customers do not need to start on the green field, but have access to 30 industry specific out-of-the-box best practices and more than 2,500 detailed processes. Industry.PerformanceREADY is a comprehensive end-to-end solution for process optimization and fast as well as cost-effective SAP implementation with embedded governance and process controlling.

To minimize both time and cost of model design and solution configuration, Industry.PerformanceREADY ships with an industry reference model in ARIS and pre-configured SAP ERP application. These are based on best practices from extensive practical experience across many different projects.

In addition, pre-defined Key Performance Indicators and process monitoring parameters allow customers to focus on delivering real and measurable business value for each project. Identifying and delivering business value is supported by solution specific ROI calculators that identify the customer time-to-value before the project starts.

As SAP global services partner, Software AG has implemented over 1,500 successful SAP projects world-wide. Industry.PerformanceREADY SAP Business All-in-One solutions are fully process-oriented, end-to-end solution sets. They combine a pre-configured SAP ERP solution, industry expertise and process models mapped in ARIS to save time, money and ensure project success.

Customers include NEC Corporation of Japan with a 20 percent reduction of operational costs, AB Volvo which reduced SAP project implementation times by 30 percent, and Brenntag which reduced SAP project implementation times by 25 percent.
