Support / Ticket Form
In the working group "CCC/Service & Support", SAP customers, among others, have joined forces to establish a Customer Competence Centre (CCC) or a Customer COE (Centre of Expertise) in the more recent term, on the basis of contractual obligations. The CCC or CCOE is an organisational unit within the company that is responsible for supporting efficient implementations, expansion, and maintenance and quality of business processes and systems related to SAP software. A focus area "Service & Support" is included as part of the classic CCC topics with the working group. In order to provide a discussion platform for SAP Service and Support to customers who do not want/need to implement a CCC, the former AK "CCC" was explicitly expanded to include the term "Service and Support" in the naming.
In addition to the standard service, we carry out a thorough analysis and evaluation of all SAP products that are not measured via USMM and also offer the possibility to examine interfaces that are not derived from SAP and that are specifically developed for the customer. The result is a holistic view of the environment, with all the licencing risks and opportunities, with a focus on the various licencing options for Indirect Access.

With Expert Chat and Schedule an Expert, we offer two live support channels that bring customers directly into contact with an SAP support expert - the same person who would edit a classic ticket to the question. Through Expert Chat, customers will receive a response directly in the chat in two out of three cases, with an average chat time of only 30 minutes. If the question in the chat cannot be solved immediately, SAP will automatically create a ticket for the customer, which will then be answered. In addition, we offer a kind of "doctor appointment" for our customer questions: With Schedule an Expert it is possible to arrange an appointment with an SAP support expert and to discuss the questions directly on the phone. We have recently also been offering this for further processing of existing tickets.
SAP ONE Support is not a separate support offering. It does not incur any additional costs and is provided via the existing SAP Enterprise Support offering. SAP ONE Support includes and complements SAP Enterprise Support. SAP companies SuccessFactors and Ariba already have a similar level of support. The basic offer can be supplemented by the premium offers SAP ActiveEmbedded and SAP MaxAttention. With the consistent support via SAP Enterprise Support and an optional unified cooperation model via SAP ActiveEmbedded and SAP MaxAttention for all solutions, SAP offers consistent support for all solutions, regardless of the operating model. SAP ActiveEmbedded and SAP MaxAttention for On-Premise solutions can be supplemented with premium support offerings from SuccessFactors or Ariba for cloud solutions.
Some missing SAP support functions in the standard are supplied by the PC application "Shortcut for SAP Systems".
The content, scope and precise definition of the processes are provided in the Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
This leads to very long maturities, to said frustration and ultimately to increased costs, because the operation may then cease.
