Thank you for your online enquiry.
Siamease contains a fair amount of functionality that has been developed to assist projects in a practical way. It is designed to be non-technical, to empower business users who have no technical in SAP. At its heart it is designed for data migration buts its functionality extends its usefulness into post implementation support. This document highlights its features, differentiating factors to other products on the market and includes costs and support options.
If you are considering any SAP implementation start by loading a trial of Siamease onto your development system.
This document is aimed at the project manager and key decision makers. If there is any additional information you require please feel free to contact us or browse the www.sy-datum.com web site since it contains numerous documents and brochures on the matter.

Please feel free to contact us, even if you are slightly interested. We are more than willing to answer any questions or provide a demonstration.
Effective today, Essential tomorrow.
DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS
Some of the Siamease differentiating factors to other products on the market include;
| User Driven
|
Non-technical, requires little
training, has wizards and solution builders to assist new users. Siamease also follows a natural implementation process. This allows consulting houses to integrate Siamease into their plans with ease and without distracting project plans. The key benefit here is that Siamease allows the business analysts on the project team to perform data migration within their own timelines and without putting a burden on technical resources. A non-technical approach allows a wider spread of users from the business to be utilised within the data migration project and takes a burden off the consultants. The signoff process is easier and the users involved with Siamease provide a constant benefit to the business long after the go-live. |
| Effective during SAP
implementation, Essential in Post implementation support
|
Designed to assist SAP projects from
baseline configuration to post-implementation support, it has a long term benefit to any SAP implementation with
immediate effect to the implementation team. It is not designed to dissolve after the implementation. Any users learning
Siamease will continue to add benefit to the company long after the go-live. |
| Process Oriented & Process Management | Formulates business process by
linking transactions and data together. This allows complex transactions to be simplified into simple steps or complex
processes to be built comprehensibly using condition based logic.
Scripting functionality manages data within the process using user defined rules. These rules allow repetitive activities to be repeated throughout time without putting any demand on the IT team. Integration Test scripts can be built, including rules for generating new data. Useful when one application team requires data from other teams. |
| Automates SAP transactions | This is a strong point of Siamease,
since it not only handles transactions that others cannot, but handles custom defined transactions or transactions that
have customer eccentric adjustments.
To elaborate on this, Siamease handles transactions that have multiple line item, such as Bills of Material, Hr Master Data, Stock Takeon, Financial takeon, sales order, release strategies and a host of others. Although Siamease uses transaction recording at its heart it generates solutions that are more intelligent than the recording. A recording such as an LSMW or CATT recording can only replicate the transaction according to how it was originally recorded. Thus if a financial journal is recorded with 2 line items it can only post 2 line items. Siamease is capable of understanding the recording and recognising that the user may have any number of line items to post. It also does this without requiring coding. |
| Operates within SAP | Operates within SAP and is easily accessible. It is executed via a series of transaction codes, including Siamease Managers that allow tasks and activities to be managed from a central point. It adheres to strict SAP development rules and has an integrated transport manager that allows solutions to be migrated through the basis landscape. |
| Data Management
has integrated validation, formatting, conversion, audit, data source management and allows volume data maintenance after go-live. |
A feature setting Siamease aside is
that in addition to its focus on transactions and processes it also has a key focus on the data and the data management.
It does this in 7 ways.
|
| Simple Data format | Data format is very simple and user defined if need be, Siamease will provide sample spreadsheets to the user to suggest a format. Data can be loaded from spreadsheets by simply copying data into the windows clipboard and processing in bulk. Other data sources can be used including SAP itself, thus allowing a task to refer to existing data in SAP. |
| Embedded Solutions | Siamease can generate solutions that
are integrated into Interfaces, Internet Solutions, user exits and enhancements or simply to simplify complex
transactions for certain areas of the business.
Siamease generates complete stand alone code that developers can use or change if need be. Code is documented and generated to follow specific standards, including comments. A common problem in SAP is that the developers usually have to replace an entire process when adding a small change. Siamease is very sensistive to this. It has an integrated function builder that allows developers to code small functions or formulae. These functions can be used at will by the application team for conversion, validation, condition logic, audit conversion, data correction, data maintenance and a host of other facits of Siamease. |
| SAP Modules | Siamease works on almost all SAP modules. It handles custom defined transactions as well as modified SAP transactions. It is especially useful for SD processes. HR master data is made really easy since mapping is dynamic. It is very good with CFM and SEM because it handles relationships between data really well. Its handle on volume postings into line item transactions makes material movements, bills of materia, routine and production planning especially easy. Financial takeon, stock takeon and CO planning is as easy as MM. Any transaction where the customer has functionality within SAP to change the process. Financial journals, for instance, are quite standard until you implement PA and define your own operating concern. Coding blocks or PA segment characteristics can cripple other functionality available. Siamease continues to work because it learns from the customer eccentric transaction rather than forcing the customer into a prepackaged solution. |

Please visit this web site since it has demonstrations that can be downloaded and viewed offline demonstrating the functionality with examples. The support web site is integrated into Siamease and available within SAP. The site contains a user forum where questions can be posted to our panel as well as suggestions or possible problems.
TRAINING
Siamease coarses are available. A beginner, advanced and administrator course is available. Our staff are proffesional trainers accustomed to technical ABAP training as well as Java and other internet related activities.
It must be said however that it is our intention to provide training on-tap from the internet. Samples and examples are available from the Siamease support web site. The support site is integrated into Siamease via a tab screen in SAP. Most customer only go on the advanced training since the product has wizards and builders to guide new users. If a component of Siamease is difficult for users to use we typically rewite it until they are happy with it. Siamease is now in its 4th major release indicating that we have had many users providing invaluable input into the activities at hand.
CONSUMER AND MARKET
