First Level Support
customer area
We offer support in various areas, whether it is the maintenance of your ERP systems (e.g. SAP ECC, S/4HANA, C/4HANA), the operation or hosting or through the CPI monitoring. We also have experienced consultants in application support who have been working with SAP ECC and its previous versions for decades.
SAP emphasises that SAP ONE support is not a separate support offering and therefore does not mean additional costs for users. SAP ONE support is provided via SAP Enterprise Support. SAP ONE Support complements SAP Enterprise Support and SAP already provides a comparable level of support for its two SAP subsidiaries, SuccessFactors and Ariba.
As a permanent or reliable backbone
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.
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.
