Task 1

There were many aspects through which Consarc was able to benefit from the implementations of SAP. Through SAP, Consarc was more able to have global integration and coordination with business users and customers. The updates that are done on SAP are only once a while that are implemented throughout the company which saves great amount of time for Consarc that is consistently interacting with users. Consarc originally had a lack of real time information which enhanced the possibility of errors and increased fixing errors. The implementation of SAP was able to provide real time information that further decreased potential possibilities of any error. SAP also creates a more efficient environment to work for the employees of Consarc. Furthermore, SAP is implemented based over the requirements of an organization and in case of Consarc that organization was having different kinds of issues and concerns that needed to be fixed in urgency to avoid any business loss.
