SAP Standard Application Benchmarks

SAP Standard Application Benchmarks help customers and partners find the appropriate hardware configuration for their IT solutions. Working in concert, SAP and our hardware partners developed the SAP Standard Application Benchmarks to test the hardware and database performance of SAP applications and components.

CRM

E-Selling

The benchmarks focus on typical online catalog activities as performed by regular Internet catalog users (B2C) and direct order input by professional users (B2B).
This suite replaces the online store benchmark.

User Interaction Steps of the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Benchmark Scenario With a focus on consumer behavior, this scenario is characterized by high browsing activity and low shopping/ordering activity, as reflected by recurrent browsing in a catalog. Out of ten users, nine users execute browsing activities, while shopping (for example, adding items to the shopping basket and ordering) is executed by one user, resulting in a ratio of browsing to shopping/ordering of 9:1. In one sequence, the system thus creates one shopping cart and one order with five line items.

With a focus on professional purchasers, this scenario shows less browsing activity, but a more frequent creation of shopping baskets. In addition, pricing is personalized in this scenario.

One loop consists of the following actions:

  1. . Start application.
  2. . Logon.
  3. . Create new order.
  4. . Enter five products.
  5. . Choose "Update."
  6. . Choose "Order."
  7. . Choose "Close."
  8. . Choose "Log off."

In one loop, a shopping basket and an order with five line items is created.

Interaction Center

The SAP CRM Interaction Center Benchmark focuses on typical interaction center activities, using the functions designed for the IC WebClient. 

The benchmark covers the following scenarios:

  • Incoming call with display of contact history and creation of interaction record
  • Contact with follow-up activity
  • Contact history search and display of historical record
  • Inbound sales with creation of sales order
  • Service call with creation of service ticket
  • Each user calls only one scenario during an entire benchmark run, and the five different user types run five different scenarios in parallel.
