International SAP Implementations can be complex, expensive and risky. Understanding the implications, issues and potential problems is mandatory to avoid failure. Success is only possible if a coherent strategy is developed, understood and agreed upon by the senior company management, carried through by the middle management and accepted by the end users. Early resolution of relevant issues will keep the project on track and avoid expensive re-design of conflicting business processes and the according SAP system configurations.

This white paper addresses the critical issues involved and provides guidance how to approach an international SAP Project with success.
