Dedicated support model
Description
Ensuring consistent resource availability to meet evolving business needs can be a daunting task. Our dedicated support model offers a strategic approach to address this challenge, providing uninterrupted support while optimizing resource utilization.

With our dedicated support model, you gain access to a reliable support system that adapts to your changing requirements, ensuring swift and efficient resolution of issues while driving continuous improvement.

By leveraging our xCare methodology, we seamlessly guide the transition of SAP business systems into a streamlined managed services model, giving you the assurance of a dedicated system tailored to your needs.

Title
Shared support model
Description
Managing your SAP applications involves navigating through fluctuating demands across functional, technical, and administrative domains. Balancing resource availability amidst peaks and troughs can often pose challenges, potentially leading to either unmet user expectations or resource idling.

Striving for consistent peak resource availability is ideal to meet all business requirements. However, this approach may become cost prohibitive. Additionally, relying solely on external consultants for supplementary support might introduce productivity issues due to their unfamiliarity with your unique business environment.

Our consultants offer a solution by seamlessly integrating into your team to support overflow work, ensuring capacity augmentation when needed, or taking independent charge to swiftly deliver on critical projects. This flexible approach guarantees efficient utilization of resources while maintaining alignment with your business objectives.

Our SAP AMS onboarding begins with a structured pre-kickoff phase where we finalize the scope, identify key stakeholders, and gather critical inputs through a customized questionnaire. This is followed by a due diligence plan and scope sign-off. During data collection, we conduct stakeholder interviews to capture the "Voice of the Customer" and compile data on SLAs, ticket volumes, tools, support models, and skill sets. We then analyze this information to assess current capabilities and define a tailored support approach. The final recommendation report outlines the proposed support model, SLAs, governance, tools, and infrastructure. With this streamlined process, clients typically start seeing measurable improvements like faster issue resolution and reduced ticket volumes within 4 to 6 weeks.
