Delivering greater business value through your SAP systems in the uncertainty and complexity of today’s global marketplace, combined with a shrinking IT budget, make compelling reasons to switch to outsourcing. Companies that view IT as a strategic support function rather than a technology platform will realise the potential for outsourcing to boost productivity and gain competitive advantage.
Outsourcing, particularly remote outsourcing, provides your company with access to quality services at a much lower cost. By saving on infrastructure and manpower, managed services can save you up to 60% of your total costs. Handing over non-core services allows you to focus on your core business which in turn improves performance and service levels.
Additional benefits of outsourcing include:
Outsourcing provides an excellent alternative to managing your own in-house resources. By utilising a capable delivery partner like EOH SAP Services you can leverage our cross-industry experience to achieve greater efficiency in your outsourced applications. With the obvious value created by a more proactive approach to your SAP environment, outsourcing also helps you to achieve business benefits faster and with greater assurance of success.
Allowing EOH SAP Services to manage your technical services or applications lessens your risk and provides your company with a single point of accountability for analysing, transforming and continually improving your IT processes and capabilities.

EOH SAP Services believes that in developing lifelong relationships with its clients, we are able to drive long-term value and change that go beyond tabulating the cost of services.

EOH SAP Services make it possible to obtain direct access to affordable, high-quality SAP support. We offer a wide range of specialised on-site and remote business outsourcing solutions and guaranteed availability of resources.
Our scalable managed services offerings are provided on either a full-time or on-demand basis and include:

Managing IT assets, services and infrastructure to be more cost-effective and responsive.
Through the EOH group structure we are also able to provide a host of related services including networking, hosting, development and management consulting services.
Our support arrangements make use of clearly defined metrics, which we establish through a collaborative process between our clients and ourselves. These and other issues are documented in service level agreements (SLAs) which govern the smooth and reliable operation of your managed services.
SLAs ensure that issues are logged, escalated and resolved in a timely manner. Based on the SAP OSS classification system, calls are prioritised according to severity. Any escalations are dealt with through the appropriate support model which comprises first, second and third line stages and support structures. Performance statistics and reports are built into SLAs, which create a line of sight between service levels and costs for our clients. With our flexible pricing models you pay for what you use, helping to ensure that you know what to expect each month. Predictable pricing of this nature facilitates a managed services partnership based on confidence and stability.
Proper IT governance is critical to the success of any managed services agreement. Based on ITIL principles and practices, EOH SAP Services uses stringent internal controls and safeguards to protect our clients’ data. We regularly assess and update our infrastructure and methodology for managed services. Any downtime, outage or issue is immediately addressed to reduce any impact to your company and ensure rapid business continuity.
