In today's economy, IT purchasing decisions must be based on a clear return on investment. You need a way to develop a solid business case that links resources invested with benefits achieved.

That's why we created the Business Case Builder. Working with an SAP or partner representative, you can use this powerful tool to validate your business objectives – and determine the potential value of investing in SAP Business Suite.

Based on SAP's Business Scenario Maps, a collection of industry-specific and cross-industry process blueprints, the Business Case Builder takes you through a step-by-step process to:

• Examine market forces and business trends in your industry
• Identify processes that support your business objectives
• Calculate the potential value of enabling those processes through SAP Business Suite
  

The result is a customized, high-level value proposition that is specific to your industry and tailored to your unique business drivers.

The Business Case Builder provides you with a personalized report, including:

• Independent industry trend analysis that reduces your research effort
  
• A high-level view of the potential benefits of your IT investment
  
• A clear understanding of how SAP Business Suite can support your business objectives
  
• A business case – including potential value, payback, and return on investment – that is specific to your company

The Business Case Builder is available only through an SAP or partner representative. To arrange your free session using the Business Case Builder, contact your local SAP or partner representative today.
