With TekLink’s Innovation Labs, all this and more is at your fingertips.

New applications and releases of software brings new opportunities and challenges to an organization. With each new application and release, you may be asking the following questions:

• How will moving to S/4HANA or BW/4HANA impact my reporting performance?
• I want to Upgrade my BPC solution, how will we leverage the functional and runtime benefits versus today?
• If I use BOBJ 4.2, how will the BI Launch Pad look and feel?
• We are starting a project on BW on HANA but our hardware won’t be ready for 2 months, how can I start sooner?
• How can I let my users evaluate planning and reporting options within SAP before I have the software installed internally?

TekLink’s Innovation Labs can help…

At TekLink we have all the latest versions of Analytics, Planning and In-memory solutions running in our Innovation Labs environments. Using these, our clients can securely perform proof-of-concepts using their own data to get a fact-based analysis showing how these new technologies will impact their organization. Additionally, clients can accelerate the start of development and testing their own solution in their own landscape in our labs.

Our Innovation Labs uses the following range of services:

Proof-of-Concept

Using our secure Labs environment and their own data, clients have been able to test drive multiple SAP offerings to understand the performance and usability these solutions bring. In the example below a client wanted to see the performance improvement achieved by migrating from BPC 7.5 to 10 NW versus 10 on HANA. We were able to show not only the performance improvement by BPC 10 NW and BPC 10 on HANA, but also the benefits implementing new functionality in BPC 10.

Jump Start

Clients can use our Labs environment to jump start a project or sandbox prior to installing software and hardware internally. This enables projects to run in parallel to hardware and software acquisition thereby accelerating the time-to-value and the ROI for the project. Using this service, clients have shaved months off of project timelines.

Software evaluation

Often times, there is more than one way to design your solution. With the help of our Labs Environments clients can get hands-on time working with each possible solution in order to make an informed decision regarding what is best for them. Sure, we can explain the differences, but nothing beats real life hands on understanding.
