What is the difference between SAP AND ASAP

[srinivas_naik]

ASAP (AcceleratedSAP) is a step-by-step methodology for speeding up the implementation of an SAPR/3 system. The components of ASAP, which can be used together or individually, are called accelerators. Accelerators are based on the best practices of SAP customers from around the world and consist of a number of templates, questions, and scenarios that require user input to help the user determine the best way to implement their R/3 system. According to SAP literature, ASAP can reduce the time required to implement an R/3 system by as much as 50%.

AcceleratedSAP provides an Upgrade Roadmap and upgrade manuals to facilitate
release changes and upgrade projects. The Upgrade Roadmap enables you to take
a systematic approach to release changes and complements the available technical
documentation.
Although implementing new versions of R/3 is carried out in the form of a new
project, the project team will profit from their experiences during initial
implementation. Many documents already exist and only need to be verified or
extended.
In order to systematically carry out an upgrade project, the
ASAP Upgrade Roadmap will generate a project plan with only the activities required.
All other activities have either already been carried out or they are not relevant.
As with the Roadmap for the initial implementation, there are descriptions of
the individual tasks, and wherever possible, additional accelerators in the
form of checklists, templates or examples. The technical documentation of the
upgrades is extended via ASAP to include release-specific project management.
