CUSTOMER JOURNEY ROADMAP

High-level planning and preparation are done at the outset of a project. As a consultant, you may gather a client’s
business and technical input information. Gathering information doesn’t have to be complicated; however, the
information you collect must be accurate and precise. Using the provided scenario, you can find the pertinent
information.

Projects may be complex and involve several stakeholders, each of whom has different roles and responsibilities.

Businesses exist in a dynamic environment that directly influences how they operate and whether they will achieve
their objectives. Business environments are composed of numerous organizations and forces that affect operations.
For example, the environment includes political, legal, economic, and technological factors.

Implementation has different starting points for each individual client. For example, client A may be new to SAP,
while client B may still use a legacy SAP system, and client C may have a mature SAP landscape that you need to
prepare to simplify and transform.

The project team must be brought on board, trained, and begin transition preparation and planning.

Use this template to outline your Customer Journey Roadmap Plan. We have completed the OVERVIEW section for
you as an example. You will use elements of this plan in your customer presentation slide deck.

OVERVIEW (Example)

Briefly describe the goals and scope of the project.

RenewAgra is acutely aware of the fact that its three businesses use widely divergent data management systems.
CropCo has been using a relatively outdated system for many years. TransCrop has a large logistical network
supporting interconnectedness between distant employees. EnvoData has the most advanced systems in the
company, with a full SAP S/4Hana suite, SAP Analytics on-premise solution, and an SAP Fiori UX. The project is
intended to address the issue of interconnectedness and modernization of the three businesses.

Immediate goals:

• Replace CropCo Excel data management with a solution that provides access for all three businesses.
• Integrate data management across the entire company so there is a “single source of truth.”
• Provide a secure means for CropCo engineers to share data

Long-term goals:

• Maintain high quality global data in a single user interface for internal services and external customers.
• Provide a fully mobile data access and analytics platform enabling the company and its customers to access
and track data in real-time.

• Explore the use of drones for land analysis, local IoT connection, predictive analytics, and access to real-
time conditions.

Business and Technical Requirements (Complete Task 1 Activities.)


Summarize business and technical requirements. Consider business processes, technology tools and applications,
as-is and to-be states, and the questions you will ask.

Cropco – provides crop services and distribution of food


Transcrop manges transportation
EnvoData – sells data to farmers using adavanced crop monitoring

Activity 2- CropCo integration of datta management and reporting using SAP ERP
TransCrop- use SAP TM for fleet tracking
EnvoData – use SAP HANA for more efficient data processing

Activity 3 – Environmental regulations- varying pesticide usage and emission controls


Trade regulations- differences in tax and tariffs on crops
Activity 4 - What are the specific pain points in your current data management processes across different business
units?
How do you currently manage and integrate data from various countries, and what challenges do you face?
What are your key objectives for integrating advanced technologies like drones and IoT into your operations?
How do you measure the success of your current supply chain and logistics operations, and what improvements are
you seeking?

Stakeholders and Partners (Complete Task 2 Activities.)


Stakeholder analysis can help gain the knowledge and support of key organizational players, achieve alignment
among stakeholders on goals and plans, and address potential problem issues early in the project. You may
categorize stakeholders in terms of their influence, interest, and level of participation in your project. Look for the
needs and potential problem areas of different stakeholders. An SAP Partner can help by sharing expert advice on
managing various project issues. You can locate partners using the SAP Partner Finder.

Business Environment (Complete Task 3 Activities.)


Early in the customer engagement process, you will consider the environment in which the business operates. For
example, is the business environment highly regulated, or does the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) exert
significant control over the products? Do they operate in an environment with little oversight? You might also focus
on legal compliance in a highly regulated environment.

• Legal: Patent laws and data privacy regulations.
• Environmental: Focus on sustainable farming practices and environmental monitoring

SAP Products and Solutions (Complete Task 4 Activities.)


A customer will typically have one or more requirements. Some of the most common requirements are related to the
client’s need to buy, sell, ship, hire and pay. During customer engagement, the consultant’s task is determining the
main requirements and the capabilities needed for solutions. It is important that these solutions provide business
value for the client. You may be able to find an existing solution in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library. The SAP
Cloud Appliance Library allows you to set up a demo environment for an SAP product.

Activity 1:
1. Fleet tracking- inconsistent tracking of transportation use SAP TM
2. Data management integration- its different between businesses use of SAP Hana for unified system
3. Limited predictive capabilities use of SAP HANA for real time data processing
4. Customer Data Access- limited access to data use of SAP Fiori UX

SAP Team Training Strategies (Complete Task 5 Activities.)
Team members will need training, especially on new products. For example, team members may need to complete
certifications for SAP products they will use on the project. The project training strategy provides team members
with a learning path for acquiring the skills and knowledge needed to complete the project successfully.

• Learner input – begin your work here.
