Het aardappelverkoopbedrijf heeft in 2011 SAP geimplementeerd ter ondersteuning van de processen: inkoop, planning, aanvoer en ontvangsten van aardappelen. Tot deze implementatie behoorden ook de koppeling met de financiele administratie, datawarehouse en de administratie van het aandelenbezit van de aangesloten boeren. Voor een major release in 2012 wenste het aardappelverkoopbedrijf een release planning op basis van FPA. Hiertoe zijn zowel de Blueprint van 2011 als de delta 2012 geselecteerd en geautomatiseerd geteld. Met de automatische FPA heeft het aardappelverkoopbedrijf de volgende voordelen vastgesteld. - Telling van systeemobjecten in plaats van system requirements is transparanter - Wijzigingen in het oplossings scenario kunnen sneller worden doorgerekend - Ondersteunt de toetsing van offertes - Is goed hulpmiddel bij prijs onderhandeling DutchSoft Technology beschikt over een library waarin alle functionaliteiten, die behoren tot de SAP ERP SUITE zijn gecategoriseerd. Een SAP implementatie kan worden gekwantificeeerd door middel van selectie van te gebruiken functionaliteiten en het automatisch tellen ervan.

 Old propriety system was End of Life
 Expiration EU subsidies
 Migration to SAP as part of compliancy within Potatoe
 Insight and verifiability in SAP maintenance costs
 Different external partners maintain SAP and not much
expertise within Potatoe to make estimates
 Demand to be in control with those external parties

16. Approach
• Volume determination of the 2011
implementation
– FPA analysis on the System Blueprint
• Volume determination of DELTA
– FPA analysis on the change-document
• FPA on new functionalities
• FPA on touched functionalities
• FPA on landscape impact
• Release Plan generation on FPA outcome

Results:
Easy maintainable “eBlueprint” available as a repository for future releases
(Changed) Functionalities selectable and ready for FPA
FPA and Estimation costs: 0,3% of total Project Costs
Reliability FPA based planning 90%
Duration of the estimation process reduced with at least 50% ( 2 wks >>> 4days)
Reconsideration of the planning instantly possible
Planned /realized hours per funtion point available for performance control
