Why Governance in SAP PO?
How do we mitigate risk and increase accountability?
Best Practices
Well defined Roles
Well defined Standards
Documentation Processes
Why is different SAP PO?
Is a technical system (no users)
Is a critical system, (ESOA single point of failure)
Supports Open and Industry standards
Very flexible, high implementation volumes
Badly designed interface could jeopardize the whole system stability
Standard IT Governance is not a perfect fit
