– Business process area: L1
Business Process Model Library
– Business process area: L1
– Business process: L2

Best Practice Environments Usage
Production•Use should be restricted to production activities
•Focus should be applying/testing
Provisioned SaaS Environments
� Several factors contribute to
recommending Environment Management
Strategy
– SaaS Service Level Objectives and
Service Entitlements
– Current service capabilities
Customer project lifecycle: initial Test
applying/testing configurations and data prior to putting them into production.
Additional Environment
•Additional environments may be purchased for other activities (e.g. training / familiarization, etc.)
– Customer project lifecycle: initial
implementation vs. subsequent
– Coexistence customer or Fusion as
system-of-record
– Customer size and complexity

Reasons Why HCM SaaS Projects Fail
• Lack of Qualified Resources (Partner & Customer)
• Using a Traditional Methodology for a SaaS Implementation
• Poor Project Management Practices – Change Management, Planning
Scheduling, Managing, Prioritization, Risk Mgt

resources and customers
Best Practices
