What should SAP AMS cover on RISE with SAP?

On RISE with SAP, SAP’s technical services run the infrastructure, database and core operations. Everything above that stays with you: functional support, custom code, integrations, user support and testing SAP’s updates. A good AMS partner covers that whole application layer and agrees a clear handoff with SAP for issues that cross the line.

Switching providers

How a move to TSP AMS works

  1. Assess

    We review your current support: ticket history, documentation, service levels and the knowledge that lives only in people’s heads.

  2. Transfer knowledge

    TSP’s team learns your systems alongside your current provider, documenting as it goes.

  3. Shadow, then lead

    TSP handles tickets with your current provider watching, then takes the lead while they watch, until the handover is safe.

  4. Take over

    TSP runs support within the agreed service levels, with monthly reporting from the first month.

  5. Improve

    Recurring issues get fixed at the root, and TSP ARIA Operate takes on repetitive work, so the ticket load falls over time.

FAQ

Questions about SAP AMS

Straight answers to what SAP leaders ask us most.

Talk to an SAP expert

What service levels can we expect?

Service levels are agreed per priority, with response and resolution targets written into your contract and reported every month.

Do you support SAP ECC as well as S/4HANA?

Yes. Many companies need ECC support until their migration and S/4HANA support after it, and TSP covers both with one team. See ECC to S/4HANA migration.

Do you provide hypercare after go-live?

Yes. Hypercare covers the weeks right after go-live, with extra attention while your teams settle in, then moves into regular AMS once things are stable.

How does support get less expensive over time?

By fixing recurring issues at their root, automating repetitive tasks and using TSP ARIA Operate to speed up diagnosis, so the number of tickets falls year after year.
