Validation of technical design of on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments
SAP ENTERPRISE SUPPORT
SAP also wants to facilitate the transition to SAP Cloud powered by SAP HANA for users. SAP assures users that they can focus on the real business and "leave the orchestration of continuous processes to the provider.".
Application management services significantly reduce system downtime and the associated sudden costs. Regular monitoring and the associated proactive error detection can prevent system failures. SAP AMS is also effective in the event of staff shortages. In case of illness-related outages, employees of the SAP service provider step in and compensate for your losses. At times of high utilisation, such as end-of-year inventory, AMS team members also support.
Proactive monitoring and notification
Scope of SAP AMS services: The following services are included in SAP Application Management Services, among others. These can of course be expanded and customised as needed.
On the other hand, the IT support team itself often has many different tasks, mostly from very different areas. If the company is large and has a large SAP department, there are of course also special supporters, with explicit expertise. However, this is not always the case, and IT support in day-to-day business is usually the responsibility of the SAP system. And now the IT supporters are getting a message here that's patchy. And from that, the cause of the disorder is now to be identified. Questions are very often required. There are some real ping-pong games here that cost time and frustrate. As a result, tickets are often misdirected. Because support misclassifies them, it incorrectly prioritises them. This leads to very long maturities, to said frustration and ultimately to increased costs, because the operation may then cease. It would be ideal if the support gets a screenshot of the GUI beside the user's comment and additional parameter information, which system etc. Perhaps the information, how important this activity is, which can not be performed at the moment. In order to be able to prioritise the whole thing in the sense of the company.
Some missing SAP support functions in the standard are supplied by the PC application "Shortcut for SAP Systems".
