Accelerate creation of the implementation plan for your transformation project
How good and available are the many processes of your company implemented in standard solutions? Over many years, our employees support complex SAP solutions worldwide in various modules as well as in the many subsystems and interfaces. You create individual applications where standardised software does not achieve the desired success. We gladly take care of the maintenance and maintenance of standardised SAP environments and/or the creation of individual software.
In April and May 2014, the German-speaking SAP User Group (DSAG) e. V. interviewed 389 members on the topic Maintenance/Service & Support. Key findings are: The use of Standard Support and Enterprise Support remains the same in German-speaking countries. Enterprise Support requires more information about the benefits. DSAG members are largely up-to-date with their ERP systems. Over half use the latest versions of the Enhancement Packages. DSAG Survey SAP SupportThe relationship between Standard Support and Enterprise Support is, as in previous years, almost balanced. Austria deviates here with a significantly stronger use of Enterprise Support. "In German-speaking countries, users deliberately choose a support model and stick to it. The value is stable over the last few years and the readiness to change is low," comments Andreas Oczko, DSAG's Executive Board Member Operations/Service & Support. Only two percent of the support experts surveyed rely on third-party providers. Without a maintenance contract, one percent of the participants will be paid.
SAP Solutions
We also support our customers in Application Lifecycle Management. The SAP Solution Manager is available for on-premise focused customers. For customers with a cloud orientation, we are creating an additional option with SAP Cloud ALM. With SAP Cloud ALM, SAP plans a cloud-based application lifecycle management offering that can help manage customers’ cloud solutions requirements.
With "Next-Generation Support", SAP promises its customers self-service components, digital interaction with support in real time, a particularly good digital customer experience, for example through build-in support with the help of SAP CoPilot, and the use of innovations such as AI and Machine Learning. Objective: Enquiries should be answered in real-time, as far as possible, as a prerequisite for real-time business models. At the DSAG Annual Congress 2018, I wanted to know from Andreas Heckmann, Head of SAP Support, what support services SAP customers will need in the future, how SAP will support end-to-end digital processes in hybrid systems, where the differences between ECC and SAP S/4HANA support requests lie, and what impact innovations (machine learning, AI, predictive analytics, ...) have on SAP support.
"Shortcut for SAP Systems" is a PC application that simplifies or even enables many SAP support activities.
Next, you will work with a consultant to determine support levels, hourly service windows, and maximum response times (SLAs).
As a supporter, we cover all enquiries about application management and operation of your solution.
