SAP SUPPORT FROM IT SUPPORTER VIEW
Innovation Services
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.
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.
Preconfigured setup and ready-to-use business processes
The employees of our customers, like all of us, are used to beautiful and easy-to-use applications in their role as consumers of digital offerings; We also take this into account in our interaction with our customers. We provide self-service access to our knowledge pool in a variety of ways. This includes social media such as Twitter or messenger services such as WhatsApp.
Our schedule of expert services is still in the beginning. We expect customers to make greater use of this service. A special advantage for all our customers is that they do not incur additional costs for Next-Generation Support Services - they are automatically part of the support contract.
Tools such as "Shortcut for SAP Systems" allow for a quick fix in SAP support.
We support IT companies or customer employees in identifying and correcting application-related faults, as well as in questions and problems related to operations.
SAP users do not necessarily know why something is not working.
