Although 85% of chemical companies over $1 billion are running SAP as a backbone, the prospect of implementing these systems in smaller companies has been daunting. Until recently, the complexity and investment has simply seemed too risky and the benefits out of reach.

But these larger companies have blazed the trail and left
a host of invaluable lessons behind to help guide the next generation's journey. Those lessons have been
encapsulated into:

• Defined business logic for chemicals industry scenerios such as demand planning, blending and repackaging and dangerous goods management
• Preconfigured building blocks that enable an implementation in as little as 14 weeks
• Industry-specific configuration and master data
• Project accelerators such as data
  conversion templates

This sanctioned form of "cheating," makes these systems easier and cheaper to implement. Perhaps the best part: these lessons are available free of charge and will result in a lower cost implementation.

Hitachi Consulting is SAP's preferred partner for this unique solution for mid-market Chemical companies. We took the SAP Best Practices for Chemicals and trimmed it down to be more applicable to mid-market companies.
