The SAP Activate Explore phase is the phase where the project team validates the fit of the standard SAP solution to the customer’s business requirements and identifies any gaps or deltas that need to be addressed1. The key deliverables of this phase are2:
Fit-to-Standard Analysis: This is a series of workshops where the project team demonstrates the predefined scenarios and processes in the SAP solution using the customer’s starter system and sample data. The customer validates the fit of the standard solution to their business needs and identifies any gaps or deltas that require additional configuration, customization, or extension3.
Data Load Preparation: This is the process of preparing the data migration objects and templates, defining the data migration strategy and approach, and performing data quality checks and cleansing. The project team also executes the initial data load to the quality system and validates the results4.
The other options are not part of the SAP Activate Explore phase, but rather of the following phases:
Integration setup: This is part of the SAP Activate Realize phase, where the project team configures and tests the integration scenarios between the SAP solution and other systems, such as legacy systems, third-party applications, or cloud services5.
Cloud System Provisioning: This is part of the SAP Activate Prepare phase, where the project team requests and receives the access to the SAP cloud systems, such as the starter system, the quality system, and the production system6.
