Best practices and modeling


A SAP reference content can be delivered as a set of standard processes as basis for the user requirement

workshops, in which we together create a customer specific process landscape in a short period of time.


SAP reference content


The usage of the SAP reference content is a good possibility to accelerate a project, especially in the prepare

and explore phase. The provided content can be downloaded from the Solution Manager to Symbio and be

processed there.
