Building the foundation for your smart business
In order to continue to communicate with the backbone and to use the services of SAP, it is necessary to move to this new infrastructure by January 2020. This requires the following update: ・ SAP Solution Manager SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS07 or SPS08 (recommended) ・ Focused Run: Focused Run 2.00. The download via the Note Wizard (Transaction SNOTE) will only work if the notes are digitally signed. Note the SAP hints here.
From the Deploy phase onwards, we integrate our AMS Service Agents into the project work and documentation to optimise the transfer of know-how. Our AMS Agents will get to know your employees and the IT landscape and can support you in the GoLive phase. This approach enables a seamless transition from the Hypercarephase to Application Management Services.
The quick look at the SAP Support connection
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.
A useful product - "Shortcut for SAP Systems" - is available for SAP Support employees.
We expect a lot to happen in this area in the next few years.
