What is Meant by End to End implementation in SAP?
End to End Implementation (E2E Implementation) is the execution of an entire project which is a multi step process each with its own phases. SAP Implementation mainly consist of five different phases like project preparation, Blueprint, Realization, Finalization, Go-Live and support.
In SAP Implementation first we have to prepare the documentation about the client business (like turnover, vendors, customers, payments, materials, production, marketing etc.). There are two main types of SAP implementation Greenfield and Brownfield. Generally, you can implement SAP from scratch, known as a “greenfield” project, or modify an existing one, “brownfield”. A new business will always be greenfield, while brownfield migrations usually occur when your SAP Implementation is out of date. In some cases, it is more efficient to skip the brownfield and start from scratch.
