CREW is an SAP Business All-in-One solution for project-driven companies. CREW helps
companies better manage projects, people and performance to improve profitability across the
enterprise. Throughout project execution, CREW provides the visibility into the true cost of projects
that managers need to avoid surprises.
Built on the SAP business suite, optimized with industry best practices, and empowered with SAP
NetWeaver technology, CREW is a unified system that helps companies improve key functions such
as project procurement, subcontract management, project forecasting and change management,
as well as union payroll management and processing. CREW is a world-class solution for general
contractors, specialty contractors, engineering, procurement and construction, and building
owners.
Optimize Existing SAP
Solutions
CREW incorporates a broad range
of industry capabilities within a
complete solution, optimizing
organizational efficiency and project
profitability. However, some CREW
components can be delivered to
companies already using the SAP
business suite. These components
include the Union Payroll Rate
Workbench and Subcontractor
Management. Built on core SAP
functionality and EC&O best practices,
CREW adds unique functionality to
better address the requirements of
project-driven companies.
CREW customers also benefit
from access to InEight senior
consultants, industry expertise and
customization support.
Adapt to Changing
Business Needs
Because CREW is built on a
business process platform, it can
easily integrate with third-party
applications as new requirements
arise. CREW also helps with
compliance with IFRS and DCAA
regulations through documentation
and reporting support.
Quick User Adoption
CREW is designed for maximum
productivity. A simplified user
interface with contextual help
facilitates rapid adoption and
improves job performance. Rolebased navigation means users only
see relevant information, reports
and work lists. Enhanced reporting
and printing capabilities are based
on the latest SAP technology.
Rapid Deployment
The InEight Accelerated
Implementation Methodology
(I-AIM) is used to streamline the
implementation. This methodology
provides a single, consistent,
prescriptive framework for efficient
delivery of InEight services and
projects. With this delivery approach,
the focus is on project quality to
ensure success. The solution can
be fixed price with fixed scope.
80 percent of the solution is outof-the box to ensure a fast and
effective delivery. Plus, organizations
benefit from ongoing CREW and
SAP enhancements and innovation
without risking business disruption of
custom-built implementations.
Leverage Full
Integration
CREW is a fully integrated system that
supports core business processes,
from financial and subcontract
management, procurement, projects,
contracts to billing and payroll with
a union payroll solution. Business
analytics and reporting capabilities
in CREW provide full visibility into
business operations and performance.
