SAP Support Backbone Update - What's next?
SAP offers a whole range of services and tools here. The switch to SAP S/4HANA is an opportunity for customers to further differentiate, optimise and innovate. Examples include SAP S/4HANA Adoption Starter, Business Scenario Recommendations, SAP Transformation Navigator, SAP S/4HANA Readiness Check and extensive benchmarking with the help of SAP Innovation & Optimisation Pathfinders. As part of our SAP Enterprise Support, our customers receive active expert help and a structured approach using SAP Value Maps. The SAP Mission Control Centre helps our customers with complex issues to integrate our new solutions such as SAP S/4HANA. It collects experiences from early adopters and implementations at customers, where complex hybrid solutions with large data volumes are built. With this project experience, we are expanding our maintenance offering, for example with Meet-the-Expert Sessions of the SAP Enterprise Support Academy. We also publish best practices for analysis and quick solutions to technical problems in SAP Knowledge Base Articles.
In addition, we are certified with the Partner Centre of Expertise certificate, which is based on a detailed quality audit. In our history, we have always passed these audits perfectly and therefore receive automatic recertification every two years. However, in order to be recertified in an accelerated procedure, it is necessary to distinguish itself by an excellent quality of the services provided. In our case, this happens not only with careful audits that are supervised by SAP every two years, but also in cooperation with SAP SE and SAP customers, whom we support as subcontractors of SAP. Automatic recertification is an expression of the high level of trust in Hicron and confirmation of our high quality standards.
SAP Solution Manager
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.
Our customers run SAP software either locally or in the cloud. As a cloud hosting provider and AWS partner, we support both delivery methods. Our Singapore data centre currently supports over 50 customers for both SAP Business One and SAP S/4. We also work closely with hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure, Google or Huawei Cloud to help you find the right solution for your cloud hosting.
Tools such as "Shortcut for SAP Systems" allow for a quick fix in SAP support.
But it doesn't have to be our complete ITSM solution to realise this integration.
The team responsible for the maintenance and management of SAP systems consists of more than 90 people and even accounts for 1/3 of Hicron's total workforce.
