Factory Model: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Factory Model engagement model at MYGO Consulting.
How many sites can you deploy in parallel?
Our factory process supports 3-5 simultaneous site deployments depending on complexity. For simpler configurations, we have scaled to 8+ parallel streams. The constraint is typically client-side change absorption capacity rather than our delivery bandwidth.
What if a site has unique requirements that don't fit the template?
Our localization framework handles site-specific variations through a structured process. Each site goes through a fit-gap assessment against the template. Standard variations (local tax rules, language, legal entity configuration) are handled through pre-built localization scripts. Truly unique requirements are evaluated for template inclusion or handled as site-specific extensions that don't compromise the core template.
How long does the initial template build take?
The template build phase typically takes 10-16 weeks depending on process complexity. This includes the pilot site deployment. It is a larger upfront investment that pays dividends across every subsequent rollout; sites 2 through N typically deploy in 3-6 weeks each versus 3-6 months with traditional approaches.
Can the Factory Model work with brownfield SAP environments?
Yes, though the approach differs. For brownfield rollouts, we build the template from your existing production configuration, harmonize variations, and create a standardized target state. The factory process then applies this harmonized template to each site, bringing them into alignment with the target architecture.
