Governance – Roles & Goals
• Post go-live, building a Super User program is really about driving towards a COE for the SAP Program by:
– Better usage of SAP and a better return on investment– 90% rating from the SAP User Satisfaction Survey– Measurable reduction in SAP Help Desk “how to” tickets– Pool of resources who can deliver refresher training or help with special
projects such as system enhancements, M&A, testing and data cleansing
– A wide knowledge base, spread throughout the organization
Support ongoing, first line of support within a functional areas for all current and future SAP users
Governance – Super User Responsibilities
• First point of contact for those who need help• Assist in training and testing• Identify organizational impacts of system enhancements and processes• Assist with data validation and cleansing for new acquisitions or
enhancements• Assist in communicating benefits of following standard processes and
building grass roots support• Serve as liaison between the business and represent the needs of users• Act as a change agent for new system enhancements/projects• Participate in a monthly meetings to share concerns, ideas, hear about the
latest system news, etc.• Help maintain user documentation, including WPB recordings and
PowerPoint Presentations
11
Governance – Time Commitments
• During Refresher Training: – 30% of their time (refresher training activities including
communications, identifying users, scheduling classes, practicing delivery, delivering the training, reporting training results (attendance, evaluations, test scores), and providing post-training support)
• During ongoing End User support:– 10-15% of their time – The BPM Group believes that most Super Users are already spending
about 5-10% of their time helping their colleagues; the Roadside Assistance program would formalize their roles, and provide structure, training, and a supportive network
• During enhancements or other special projects:– 100% on the project, with their regular positions being backfilled
12
Governance – Super User Selection
• Blended selection process – Super Users were selected by both peers and managers
– After nominations, interviews were conducted to assess skills and build the appropriate team – not all nominated associates became Super Users
– One Super User was assigned to every ten end users by location for a total of 23 Super Users in the Accounting function
• Super User program was released to the Accounting Department and will progressively be rolled out to the remaining departments
13
Governance – Assessing the Current Situation
• Once the Super Users were selected, a survey was conducted to determine key needs/desires of the Super User group
• Key themes included:– More general SAP knowledge– Better SAP transactional documentation– Cross-training in other functional areas– Troubleshoot SAP standard error codes– Additional business process knowledge
14
Super User Training Program
• Build a training plan and timeline that encompasses:
– General SAP knowledge– Business process– SAP transactions– Soft skills required to be effective in
the new role

call for assistance– A dedicated Super User will work with the End User to address the issue
and get them moving again– The End User will arrive at their “destination” safely, without deviation,
and on schedule
21
Super User Brand Values
• Brand Values– Open, honest assistance with system and
business processes– Commitment to providing a high degree of
service to our customers– Commitment to keeping current on system
