SAP® Applications: Realizing the Potential for your SAP Application

SAP solutions are built to improve many aspects of your business, but you need the right expertise to uncover the potential. The application-specific knowledge required to bring out the full capabilities of your SAP solutions is hard to find and expensive to retain.

Even when you do have in-house experts, they’re typically too busy with SAP application management to optimize the application for more value. As a result, key capabilities within the software may never be introduced to your business.

Certified SAP expertise, rigorous SAP application management

With outsourced system management I will be able to grow the systems business model, respond to customers and focus on giving them what they want, when or even before they know they want it.”

Consider

Here are some questions to consider as you move forward:

Do you spend too much time on your SAP application management?

Whether it’s applying patches, troubleshooting or fielding user questions, the daily grind of SAP application management – from installation, testing and deployments, to monitoring availability, performance and staffing the help desk – can consume time and hours.

If you’re caught up in these daily SAP application management tasks, your attention is being diverted away from more strategic planning and activities.

Are your SAP solutions delivering the value you anticipated?

SAP applications are powerful tools, but many features are never implemented due to budget, time and expertise issues. AT&T can help determine the add-on functionality that makes sense for your business and speed its deployment.

The best way to get more value out of your application is to document and map your business processes into the application workflow. The AT&T professional services team can do this for you to help improve process efficiency and application ROI.

Should you shift hosting to a service provider?

AT&T can take full responsibility for your application infrastructure – from hosting, hardware provisioning and management to database support – in any of our 38 data centers around the globe. You can benefit from enterprise-class security and availability along with the worldwide reach of the AT&T network.

Instead of capital investments in building and staffing an in-house infrastructure, you pay a predictable monthly fee. You also have access to a range of hosting options, from co-location to cloud services, so you can transition hosting models without changing providers. AT&T recently received the SAP Certification in Cloud Services ranking.

Is there a way to go live with less risk?

AT&T Evaluation and Implementation Hosting Services for SAP can jumpstart your projects with access to a stable pre-production environment. You can evaluate software, test new applications and third-party interfaces, or gain proof-of-concept before deployment to help lessen risks in your production environment.
