1. Understand Your SAP Environment and Support Needs
Every business has its own unique SAP topography,
which is determined by the modules in place, the deployment model (on-premise,
cloud computing, or hybrid), as well as the internal IT facilities. Start by
mapping out:
• The SAP solutions you are currently using (such
as SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Applications (BTP), SAP Fiori, SAP SuccessFactors,
SAP Ariba, etc.)
• The business-critical processes and system
dependencies of your business;
• Potential busy periods and risk of downtime
events
• Internal support capabilities vs. gaps
Using this analysis, your organization will be able
to determine if you require basic break/fix support, proactive monitoring,
system improvement, or complete application management services (AMS).
2. Prioritize Support for SAP S/4HANA and BTP
With the shift in businesses to modern ERP systems,
SAP S/4HANA Support has become essential. From the optimization of system
performance to release management and security patching, a deep S/4HANA
