  • Definition of Enhance Packs
    • SAP's new approach to delivering new or enhanced functionality. Formerly included in support packs.
  • Rationale for including Enhancement Packs in this year's support pack project scope
    • Avoid a separate project to add these enhancement packs
      • $240K IS&T effort
      • Production freeze
      • Business testing, validation
      • Production outage
      • Production validation
    • Enhancement packs are pre-requisite to new functionality
      • Required for Enterprise Learning Product - project sponsored by Training Alignment Team, HR, and approved by ASPCC
      • Required for other, newer SAP functionality that will be considered as part of 'Administrative System Roadmap'
      • See attachments for details of enhancement pack content for selected areas of potential interest to MIT
    • MIT Lincoln Lab and other higher ed & research SAP customers following the same strategy
  • Risks & Mitigation
    • Enhancement Packs create problems with existing functionality used by MIT
      • Don't use Enhancement pack functionality until after year-end support pack project complete
      • Test all critical functions as part of the support pack project
      • Low probability since we don't use any of the new functionality
    • Production downtime increased
      • Test the process multiple times before golive
      • Test the process early in the project
      • If longer outage is required, start discussing and planning early in the project
