Remote SAP Business One project despite Corona

the SAP celebrates on its news channel the successful remote implementation of SAP Business One at fintech company XPAY. Due to the coronavirus crisis, this was carried out exclusively from the home office by employees of the customer and Versino.

Remote strategy despite scepticism

Many other companies have closed their doors because of the Corona crisis. ERP implementation postponed or cancelled altogether. XPAY was also sceptical as to whether the projects planned in pre-corona times would be feasible under the new framework conditions. In the end, they decided to take the risk and implement SAP Business One anyway. And, as required by Covid-19, completely from the home offices of XPAY and Versino employees.

Communication via Microsoft Teams

The SAP success story also states that all communication took place remotely via Microsoft Teams. In meetings lasting 4 hours each, 5 project participants were always present in the virtual meeting rooms. However, it was ensured in advance that all participants had the necessary Equipment for the remote project.
Good microphones and cameras are essential for such an endeavour. One of the many lessons learnt from working from home in Corona times.

Personal level despite remote distance

The prejudice that personal communication and perception would be neglected when collaborating via remote tools was also negated by the project participants. On the contrary, the SAP article quotes the customer as follows: „In fact, close online cooperation, where you also get insights into private surroundings, has led to a trusting relationship that is otherwise rare in IT projects.“

Started on site - continued remotely

However, the SAP Business One project for XPAY is not a stand-alone project for remotely implemented ERP projects. Ongoing large and lengthy launches that were started last year are now being continued online. The Versino Group has already gained a great deal of experience in this area.
For us from Versino Projects it is clear that we will continue to promote this type of cooperation as a viable alternative after the end of the Corona pandemic.
