Why do I need a DDA?

One of the first questions that businesses ask when they consider moving to the cloud is “where do I start?” If you already operate on an SAP system, that question naturally progresses into a conversation about your already existing landscape, customisations, and processes. What can you bring along? What has to be retired? What is compatible? What is incompatible with the cloud?

The Digital Discovery Assessment (DDA) is the process by which we look at your landscape holistically to determine your compatibility with the cloud. Think of it as a checklist that helps identify how much of your existing landscape fits into the standard SAP product.

For many businesses this can act as a spring clean for processes that have become inefficient over time or have left your SAP landscape entirely for a spreadsheet or third-party application that requires additional work to keep your business running.

The goal of the DDA is to determine what in your landscape can become a standard SAP process, and what is needed to be extended to maintain your competitive advantage. The DDA returns an almost percentage math with a fit to standard. We will say to you, your business is an 80% fit, here’s what doesn’t fit and here is how we extend your system.

By identifying what in your what can be brought to standard, what needs to be left behind, and what can be extended, DalRae Solutions focuses on what makes you, you.
