SAP Cloud ALM starts with the implementation portal for SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2018 with the next release of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. SAP plans to extend SAP Cloud ALM beyond implementation support for SAP S/4HANA Cloud with a roadmap for the entire application lifecycle of all SAP cloud products to be available by 2021. The implementation portal for SAP S/4HANA Cloud supports customers in defining the scope of implementation, with Fit-to-Standard Workshops, the configuration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and tracking the progress of the project. SAP Cloud ALM is designed to complement SAP Solution Manager, SAP's leading ALM solution for on-premise applications. With the introduction of SAP Cloud ALM, customers can select the most suitable SAP ALM solution for them, ensuring a fast implementation and optimal operation of their SAP solutions. SAP Cloud ALM is available to all Enterprise Support customers based on their existing contract.
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.
