Team Force: SmartSAP

SmartSAP is a b2b system for managing the availability of SAP specialists, the first information-analytical and trading-operating platform in the professional SAP community for employers - legal entities interested in timely and high-quality selection of professional expertise for projects for the implementation of SAP systems and solutions based on SAP software.

SmartSAP is an international b2b system that allows SAP users to conduct trading operations both to attract additional labor resources of the necessary qualifications, and to dispose of their own full-time specialists - on a schedule or on a one-time request. Each employer, a user of the SmartSAP system, can act simultaneously as a supplier and/or consumer of labor resources, significantly reducing their costs for the search, selection and disposal of regular personnel. The geography of the participants of the SmartSAP b2b platform is most of the regions of Russia and various countries of the world. The first licensed Operator of the SmartSAP b2b trading platform is the international company TEAM FORCE Management, which has extensive experience in servicing information and analytical B2B electronic trading systems, as well as conducting resource support projects for SAP projects of large Russian companies, guarantees reliable protection of your interests, information security and high quality of service.

SmartSAP is based on SmartStopping technology. The mechanism of operation of the SmartSAP b2b trading and operating platform is based on the modern innovative technology of personnel availability management - SmartStaffing (SmartStaffing), within which the dynamic redistribution of temporarily or partially available labor resources in the SAP ecosystem is carried out.

Many design-oriented companies are in constant need of additional design specialists, which are not advisable to maintain in the state due to the limited timing of projects. Significant temporary and material resources are spent on the search and selection of a "temporary" team capable of quickly mastering the work front on the customer's territory. Along with this, employers are forced to fully pay for downtime and underutilization of staff.

The use of ERP systems is no longer new to domestic businesses - every large company needs an effective system for managing internal and external processes. The choice of the resource management system depends on the personal preference of the company and on its goals and objectives, but the development of SAP AG is a recognized leader and one of the best solutions in this area, as evidenced by the consistently high interest in the product line from the German manufacturer.

Before proceeding directly to the implementation, the company must do a lot of preparatory internal work: formulate the need for high-quality software, calculate the profit from the implementation of such a system and draw up a return on investment (ROI) plan, prepare its employees to work with unfamiliar software. At a certain stage - as a rule, this is the stage of finding an integrator or a project team to implement ERP solutions - the company can no longer do with internal resources.

According to the Panorama Consulting Solutions report, about 40% of all SAP implementation projects in the Russian Federation take longer than expected. Only the search and selection of a team of specialists for the implementation of SAP in the current environment can last up to 2-4 months. Such time costs could jeopardize the implementation of any project.

The capabilities of the system allow you to reserve the necessary resources in advance: even at the stage of planning SAP implementation, the interested party can quickly check the availability of available specialists of the required qualifications and calculate the cost of their work. This is an important point, since successful integration of SAP requires tangible financial investments. You will have to pay for the software itself, its implementation, configuration, installation of additional equipment, personnel training. And the step determining the further operability of the system will be the choice of a highly efficient SAP team, the cost of which is quite high.

As a rule, the services of personnel agencies cost the customer an amount ranging from 15 to 30% of the annual income of each selected specialist. More than 50% of SAP implementation projects exceed the original budget, not least due to the high cost of additional services that are indirectly related to implementation.
