Business Challenge

The customer was looking for a reliable partner who would ensure multi-level support of the corporate SAP ecosystem, including business analysis and L1 support with native speakers. The partner had to tackle the project almost immediately.

The challenge itself was to:

  • Provide different levels of SAP support;
  • Communicate with and support SAP end-users;
  • Implement new SAP functionality;
  • Integrate the company into a single consolidated SAP system.

The customer chose to entrust the entire SAP project management to Infopulse instead of a large consulting firm used for the first phase.

Solution

Infopulse implemented multi-level SAP support for the customer that includes integration, maintenance, business analysis, documentation, quality control and assurance, and more.

  • L1 support: Including incident management, native end-users communication (French and English), SAP user maintenance, remote assistance to solve day-to-day problems reported by SAP system users.
  • L2 support: SAP implementation projects, integration projects between SAP and different business applications and systems, all kinds of development (ABAP) works within the SAP system (configuration and development).
  • L3 support: Including all types of SAP maintenance: SAP ERP/PI/HANA software administration and maintenance; SAP Server installation, migration, maintenance, release upgrades; SAP system landscape configuration and support; SAP performance tuning; OS and DB support, to name a few.
  • Business-oriented analysis: Identifying business needs and determining standard SAP solutions or develop customer-specific solutions, SAP end-user trainings (remotely and on the customer’s premises), business and SAP process documentation, assistance in the preparation of SAP Knowledge Base.
