Which support level suits you?
Functional design and architecture analysis and functional gap assessment
SAP systems that are directly connected to SAP must use a technical communication user. This must be applied for separately from SAP. It is also necessary to update the ST-PI and ST-A/P add-ons. See the SAP FAQ on this topic.
All backbone connections to SAP will be switched from January 1, 2020, as SAP has announced on its support page. Afterwards, communication between ABAP System and SAP will only take place via secure HTTPS connections, for which a dedicated user must also be requested in the Support Portal. In all ABAP systems, SAP hints can no longer be obtained via SNOTE via the old OSS RFC connection. The shipment of Early Watch Alerts to SAP is also affected by this change. Here the shipping route must also be changed to the new HTTPS standard. There is also a great need for action for all SAP customers without a current SAP Solution Manager. In the future, SAP Solution Manager 7.2 SPS08 (SPS07 only with additional information) will be required here. For all older releases, communication with SAP will also be impossible from January 2020. This primarily affects the data in the Maintenance Planner, which are then no longer synchronised. This then indirectly affects all future maintenance projects where the use of the Maintenance Planner is indispensable. Especially with regard to upcoming S/4 HANA migrations, this represents a risk to be avoided.
Defining value maps and gaining a clear understanding of value ratios
Companies want to grow. But growth and development also bring challenges - for example, for the IT department, which has to keep on stemming important special projects in addition to day-to-day business.
Over the last ten years, the company's growth has accelerated once again: In 2008, Safety Control GmbH was acquired in Mühldorf, and in 2013, Böhnke + Partner GmbH in Bergisch Gladbach. From 2013 to 2014, a new production site in India, a new logistics centre in Wuppertal and a building complex with expanded production and storage capacities for the production site in China were created. In 2016, Schmersal founded the new business unit tecnicum for services and at the end of 2017 a subsidiary in Japan.
