Content development projects can include the creation and sign-off of hundreds of visual designs, processes, storyboards and other learning assets. Proven methods are therefore essential if your development effort is to be effective and achieve targets, in terms of both time and budget. By utilising Larmer Brown’s Content Development Service for your SAP Enable Now project, you can ensure that your project reaches a successful outcome. Provided we can accurately scope the development required for your Project, we offer a fixed price service.

Encompassing all aspects of a professional development project, our Content Development Service provides a phased approach to the implementation of your content development project, including the following options that can be combined to suit your needs:

  • Discovery Workshop
  • Technical Services
  • Mobilisation
  • Content Development
  • Reporting
  • Knowledge Transfer

Discovery Workshop

In order to ensure your SAP Enable Now content development project is successful, you need to start with a comprehensive and well structured plan. Our Discovery Workshop includes sessions to review SAP Enable Now’s key features and build a prototype for approval. We look to align the proposed content development with related project plans, define the development scope, assign roles and responsibilities, as well as create a Workplan reflecting available resources, dependencies, risks and recommendations.

Content standards and style guidelines are developed and approved, providing stringent guiding principles throughout the development phase. Considerations such as accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), user demographics, infrastructure and corporate branding are all incorporated into prototype processes. Once prototypes are approved, a Standards Document is produced. Our Accessibility Lead provides support and guidance throughout.

Key factors such as Change Management, user adoption, training strategy, instructional design and delivery methods are discussed and agreed. Once approved, a Development Standards document and Discovery Report are presented to stakeholders.

Technical Services and Mobilisation

Although your SAP Enable Now product will be hosted by the vendor, we are available to support with any testing and technical requirements, working alongside the assigned SAP Enable Now Technical Lead or your own Technical Team.

The mobilisation phase involves onboarding of all resources as well as checking access and security. The Content Development Standards are reviewed to ensure understanding by all assigned Developers followed by individual work package assignment. It will also ensure the Team are briefed on escalations and reporting requirements.

Content Development Process

Depending on the scope and timelines of your project, a team of Content Developers are assigned. Our content development methodology incorporates up to nine phases of development, which is typically agreed during the Discovery and Mobilisation phases, to ensure your content meets the required standards.

The Lead Developer is responsible for circulating a daily update email summarising progress, actual time spent and tasks for the following day on project. Any risks are highlighted. A weekly status report (RAG) provides a summary of all work, any risks and issues together with the actual vs predicted development rate, to ensure you are fully up-to-date at all times.
