SAP RAR and FICO Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Currently I am responsible for the S4 HANA POC. This being a mere POC, it was not a formal Project Cycle that we followed. We have spent several weeks on both the discovery and exploration phases. During the discovery phase, we deep dived into the functionality, analyzed the companywide requirements for S4 HANA Implementation. We discovered various requirements of the project such as the functional, technical changes, the teams being impacted, the reporting needs both internal and the external and the available resources to accomplish them.
• During the exploration phase we have conducted several business workshops and nailed down the overall business requirements that need to be considered to complete the POC that will cover all the business scenarios. We have developed a BRD for the POC and got it signed from Business owners.
• As all the companies (public and private) are required to prepare their revenue contracts now to comply with this new regulation by 2018, Nvidia has implemented SAP RAR module.
