There’s no substitute for experience.

One of the most critical points of a software life cycle is undoubtably the initial rollout or implementation of that software into your production environment. Indeed, this is the first concern most customers express. Put simply, they want to know “How long will the implementation take, and what are the risks?”

Implementation of an EOM system usually happens in two steps. The first step is the direct one-to-one replacement of the existing spooling system functionality; typically, the data and data production is not changed in any way. The second step is to “tidy up the shop", wherein the customer examines all processes involving output and determines where improvements can be made.

The first part of the process is well documented by LRS and has been performed many hundreds of times at customer sites around the world. It does not require downtime of your SAP systems. Simply Export and Import your SAP printer definitions; a backout can be invoked by simply re-importing the original export. This process can be done even during the day during normal operation, and is usually performed on a location-by-location basis. The only effect that the end users will see is that the output will probably come out quicker than before, and in the event the users have SP01 access, they will see for the first time ever the correct feedback in the status field of SP01.
