SAP Support Backbone Update - What's next?
Almost a fifth of them were positive or neutral about the more "expensive" support model Enterprise Support. A total of 42% of those surveyed see this as a low or no added value. Interestingly, almost 40 percent did not say anything about this topic. Nevertheless, a positive trend is emerging. In a similar survey last year, nearly three-quarters of the participants said they had little or no added value to Enterprise Support. "The benefits of Enterprise Support, such as free services, have not yet been widely publicised by customers. The Enterprise Support Academy launched by SAP, which is an educational institution, is promising, but should receive even more attention," concludes Andreas Oczko. Nevertheless, SAP is still calling for standard support to remain in focus. The performance of this support model, which is also paid a significant maintenance rate, should not only include a minimum of service levels. We need to create more transparency about what service is included in which support contract. The information day is free of charge for SAP customers, it presents topics around enterprise support. The target group is customers who have an Enterprise Support Maintenance Agreement or are interested in it.

SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors
What are we doing here to achieve automation? How do we make these worlds work smoothly together? Simple: In principle, each of the participants stays in his world, which does not have to leave it, because by integrating SAP support into the IT support or the ITSM tool (SAP-ITSM integration), we manage to ensure that the SAP user does not have to go into another system to report a problem, but can ask for help and give his comments on it at the push of a button. On the other hand, support will receive the correct information to respond appropriately to the problem or failure. He sees the user information, runtime information, screenshots, everything that is technically necessary to classify this ticket correctly and of course to solve it quickly. A classic win-win situation has thus arisen.
Please do not hesitate. Every request also helps us to improve the system and our working methods.
Some missing SAP support functions in the standard are supplied by the PC application "Shortcut for SAP Systems".
Any support request that we receive will only be completed after positive feedback from the user.
The SAP Standard Support offer for On-Premise solutions will continue to exist.
