There are a variety of Commercial Real Estate business process management scenarios. That is why the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management or SAP REFX solution comes with a wide range of functional modules.

Every Project Needs to Establish the Scope of the Project

We often find that even though a great deal of work went into the process of selecting and procuring the SAP REFX solution, every SAP project still needs a scoping effort when we first start in order for the SAP REFX consultant to do his job.

True Project Scope

In order to establish the true scope of the project, numerous scope related questions must be answered in the following areas:

Why these particular areas of interest? There are many, for example, answering questions about property management yields an idea about the data migration effort to be expected. This leads directly to improved master data management. Answering integration related scoping questions also results in better identification and classification of business partners.

SAP REFX Solution Scoping Tool

Because the scoping questions are always the same, yet the resultant scope is always different, depending on the client's requirements, we decided to develop a SAP REFX Solution Scoping tool, which can be used by any client to establish the initial solution map for their project.

All you need to do is answer some simple Yes or No type questions online, and the system will produce a SAP Scope Document for you, ready for client sign-off.

It is designed to be used either as a stand-alone tool by a client team or with the guidance of one of our senior SAP REFX consulting experts.
