SAP Crystal Solutions are Business Intelligence tools that allows users turn disconnected, overwhelming amounts of data into informed decisions with rich reporting, real-time dashboards, and data exploration.
Last year, SAP built a Facebook application called Friend Network Optimizer to demonstrate our dashboard products. To further understand how our product works, we have developed a game called, The Ultimate Travel Challenge Dashboard that helps users make informed decisions in a fast-paced environment.
The challenge gives users three and a half minutes to plan a trip anywhere in the world with a set budget and options to fly around the world! It gives users an understanding of what SAP Crystal Solutions can do for their business by simulating the pressure of making informed decisions in a fast-paced environment. Users can also enter to win prizes along the way!

Introduction
In a global company, it is impossible to implement the SAP project at the same time. We must need a comprehensive solution that optimizes and supports all the subsidiaries. In order to make the SAP implementation process more effectively, there is a methodology called rollout project especially for such global firms.
A rollout is the process of applying and adapting the IT Solution Package (Global Template) to the subsidiaries of the company such that existing implementations are not adversely impacted and the future applicability of the package to similar subsidiaries within the organization is not sacrificed.
For rollouts a template is needed which is nothing but an Integrated IT Solution Package which consists of predefined applications that has been customized to meet certain organization specific business processes and can be quickly applied to all companies in that organization engaged in similar business.
