| Challenges
to client |
|
Client’s
development team had no prior experience in
SAP R/3 printing. Client outsourced the complete
work to Wipro based on Wipro’s expertise
on SAP R/3 printing |
|
There was
no test setup available at client’s
development center |
|
Client had
a tight development schedule for a series
of MFP product families that were to be launched
to the market |
|
| |
| Challenges to Wipro |
|
Interact with
the client's development locations to educate
them on SAP R/3 printing concepts and device
file requirements |
|
Wipro had to
come out with the complete requirement specifications
for the device type files for all the three
MFP product families |
|
Wipro had to
design various SAP forms for testing the different
features of the device type files. This was
possible because of Wipro’s expertise
and availability of SAP consultants at Wipro |
|
| |
| Achievements |
|
Wipro was able
to provide SAP R/3 printing support for all
the 3 MFP product families of the customer |
|
Wipro was able
to give work around solutions for color printing
in SAP R/3 overcoming some of the limitations
induced by the MFP implementation and SAP
R/3 support |
|
All the device
type files were tested extensively on the
SAP deployment at Wipro and release to the
client well in advance |
