scope of solution
A coordinating, unified management team for all SAP services
While Application Management Services is focused on the SAP system and the process optimisation in the ERP system, SAP Support addresses sudden bugs or problems and resolves them immediately. The support team is the first and direct contact of your employees and can take care of the solution of the error that occurred immediately. The AMS team then determines whether this error occurred only once or whether the process in the SAP system should be generally adjusted. Agents respond to customer requests for defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
The tool records specific process steps, while the user operates the SAP R/3 4.6C application we use. Here's how. Together with the user of a department, a transaction is triggered in the ERP system. The recording of the process takes place simultaneously in the background. It can then be displayed as often as you like in the "see it mode" of the ondemand software. An extension is the playback in the "Try It" or "Do It" mode. In this case, the tool moves the end user to the appropriate input fields of the mask during the SAP session with the cursor. It does not matter whether the user works in a test environment or in the production system for self-training. The Do It variant shows the ERP user in a small window, where the next step in the SAP application has to be taken. In this form of knowledge transfer, the specialist user works independently according to the workflow scheme configured in the SAP system. The advantage: After a basic instruction, the other intensive support is almost completely eliminated. If there are changes in the process flow, the recorded film can be adjusted in the right place. After republishing the sequence, it will be available to ERP users. In our company, we have stored and published the complete instructions on the intranet. All SAP users can view the films recorded in XML format. If the employee has appropriate permissions, he or she will be guided through the transactions. If he has any questions, he has an online help. If it is not enough, the records can also be published as a Word file. For 18 different reports in the SAP module for project control, Word documents in a volume of about 100 pages are generated automatically by the ondemand tool. These files are available with full table of contents, page formatting, screen screens and, if necessary, reports (in Excel format). In about four weeks we recorded all SAP modules using the Personal Navigator and documented them as described. The offer can be revised and extended at any time. After a rollout, users often want more advanced functions that go beyond the standard runs. The tool is also suitable for documenting these. For a later integration test, the records shall be used to compile the documentation.
SAP Licence Support Centre
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.
In this fast-paced time, when the metrics and requirements of the respective markets, target groups and technical developments often change, permanent adaptations of the systems are difficult to avoid. The need for support lies in the volatility of our age, based on the high speed of digitalisation.
The "Shortcut for SAP Systems" tool is an excellent tool for handling many tasks in SAP Support more easily and quickly.
With Focused Build for SAP Solution Manager, SAP supports agile deployment.
Last year alone we recorded over 10 successful SAP roll-outs.
