Which support level suits you?
Best practices
If a failure occurs, we commit to fix it or find a temporary solution within a strict timeframe defined by the SLA. With critical functions of the system this can even be 4 hours!
Effective support for SAP users is an ongoing challenge for any IT department. Support for SAP, including the response to trouble tickets, the analysis of system errors, and the help in resolving unexpected results from the SAP system, places a heavy burden on IT and can cause resources to be diverted from other critical projects.
Features
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.
In addition, we are certified with the Partner Centre of Expertise certificate, which is based on a detailed quality audit. In our history, we have always passed these audits perfectly and therefore receive automatic recertification every two years. However, in order to be recertified in an accelerated procedure, it is necessary to distinguish itself by an excellent quality of the services provided. In our case, this happens not only with careful audits that are supervised by SAP every two years, but also in cooperation with SAP SE and SAP customers, whom we support as subcontractors of SAP. Automatic recertification is an expression of the high level of trust in Hicron and confirmation of our high quality standards.
"Shortcut for SAP Systems" makes it easier and faster to complete many SAP support tasks.
Customers with a small and standardised SAP landscape can use the "Status of Support Connectivity" cloud extension to test the connection of their on-premise system to the SAP Support Backbone without having to resort to the full power of the Solution Manager.
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.
