REDUCE YOUR TOTAL COST OF OPERATIONS

Driving down the total cost of their IT operations to increase profits is a key area of focus for many SAP customers at the moment.

There are a number of ways to lower your total cost of operations, such as consolidating your IT landscape by retiring redundant systems, cutting your data storage costs, improving solution quality, or optimising your support organisation to ensure that all parts work seamlessly together.

Whatever your IT challenges, SAP Consulting has a range of services that can help.

I want to benchmark my SAP support organisation costs
To support the business effectively and reduce total cost of operations, all areas of your support organisation need to work seamlessly together. To identify areas for optimisation and provide a roadmap for improvement, we can benchmark your entire support organisation against best practices and experience gained from managing thousands of SAP customers across the globe.


Operations Maturity Assessment from SAP helps you improve end user customer satisfaction and reduce costs by evaluating all aspects of your support organisation to identify and prioritise areas for optimisation.

I want to consolidate my IT landscape
The operational cost of your IT landscape is largely dictated by the number of IT systems you have. SAP offers two services that are designed to reduce total cost of operations by consolidating your IT landscape and reducing the number of SAP and non-SAP systems you need:


SAP System Landscape Optimisation enables you to reduce unnecessary hardware costs and lower your administrative overhead by replacing your disparate IT landscape with a centralised multi-client or single-client solution.


SAP Information Lifecycle Management helps to reduce total cost of operations by enabling you to safely and efficiently retire your redundant systems while complying with legal requirements for data retention.

I want to reduce my data storage costs
If you’re not careful, data volumes can grow hugely – and so can the associated storage costs. SAP Consulting offers three key services designed to minimise data storage requirements and maximise storage utilisation:


SAP Test Data Migration Server reduces your infrastructure and maintenance costs by significantly cutting the volume of data in your test landscape - and at the same time improving data quality, training effectiveness and testing accuracy.


SAP Information Lifecycle Management helps you to manage your data from creation to deletion, enabling you to reduce total cost of operations by safely and efficiently retiring redundant systems while complying with legal retention requirements.

I want to cut my cost of compliance
Increasingly stringent legal requirements for data retention and destruction mean that traditional data management approaches are no longer enough. SAP has two products that can help you manage your data safely, securely and efficiently:


SAP Test Data Migration Server utilises business relevant and up-to-date test data to enhance the quality of your development and training activities – while protecting sensitive data in nonproduction systems through data scrambling.


SAP Information Lifecycle Management enables you to preserve full auditing and reporting functionality for your archived data – while lowering total cost of operations by safely and efficiently retiring redundant systems, and reducing database volumes.

I want to improve the quality of my solutions
By enhancing the quality and performance of your SAP applications, IT can help drive immediate business value and streamline operational costs. SAP has a number of offerings that are designed to improve the stability and predictability of your production environment, to ensure a happy and productive user community:


SAP Smart Testing Services support your testing programme at every stage of the SAP software lifecycle, significantly reducing the time and costs associated with testing and enhancing the quality and performance of your SAP applications.


SAP Test Data Migration Server utilises business-relevant and up-to-date test data while reducing the data sets of your non-productive systems by over 70% - enhancing the quality and efficiency of your development and training activities.


Run SAP Methodology is a set of standardised processes and methods to help you manage and operate your SAP applications efficiently – leading to lasting cost savings and productivity gains, and a faster time to value for your SAP investment.


SAP Solution Manager provides a centralised, robust application management and administration solution that combines a range of tools, content, and direct access to SAP to increase the reliability of your SAP solutions and lower your total cost of operations.
