Your SAP Environment Deserves More Than Break-Fix Support
Techdean's managed services practice goes beyond helpdesk and incident resolution. We provide structured, SLA-backed SAP Application Management Services that keep your environment stable, optimised, and aligned to your evolving business needs — long after go-live.
THE PROBLEM WITH TYPICAL SAP SUPPORT
Post-go-live SAP support is where many organisations experience their greatest disappointment.
The implementation partner moves on. The system is handed to an internal team that was not part of the build. Or a generic offshore helpdesk takes over with no institutional knowledge of the configuration. Issues take too long to resolve. Enhancement requests stall. Month-end becomes stressful. And the gap between what SAP was configured to do and what the business actually needs grows wider every year.
Techdean's managed services model is built differently. We operate as an extension of your internal team — maintaining deep knowledge of your specific configuration, your business processes, and your priorities. This continuity of knowledge is what makes the difference between reactive break-fix and proactive, value-adding managed support.
MANAGED SERVICE COMPONENTS
Incident Management & Helpdesk
Structured incident logging via agreed ticketing platform. Prioritisation (Critical / High / Medium / Low) with defined SLA response and resolution targets. Escalation procedures for business-impacting issues. Weekly incident summary report with trend analysis.
System Monitoring & Proactive Health Checks
Proactive monitoring of system performance, batch job execution, interface health, and data integrity. Periodic system health review reports with findings and recommended actions — before issues become incidents.
Change Request Management
Controlled management of configuration changes, minor enhancements, and small development requests. Each change assessed, scoped, and delivered within a formal change governance framework. No uncontrolled changes applied to production.
SAP Upgrade & Patch Advisory
Support package and kernel patch assessment — understanding what is required, what the risks are, and what testing is needed before application. Annual upgrade planning aligned to SAP's maintenance roadmap and your business calendar.
Month-End & Year-End Support
Dedicated, elevated support during financial close periods — including parallel monitoring, accelerated incident response, and a dedicated named contact. The moments when SAP performance matters most get the most attention.
SAP User Access & Authorisation Management
Role maintenance, user provisioning/deprovisioning, access reviews, and segregation of duties monitoring. Audit-ready documentation of all access changes. Compliance with your organisation's information security policies.
Continuous Improvement Reviews
Quarterly structured reviews to identify underutilised SAP functionality, process optimisation opportunities, and configuration improvements. We present findings and recommendations — you decide what to prioritise. Value from SAP should compound over time, not decay.
Enhancement Development
Delivery of agreed enhancement requests — new reports, workflow extensions, interface modifications, Fiori app deployment. Scoped, priced, and delivered within the managed service framework
Knowledge Transfer & Documentation
Ongoing maintenance of system documentation. Knowledge transfer to your internal team on any configuration changes we make. You should always understand your own system.
