As organisations are emerging out of the worst financial meltdown seen in years, they are awakening to a new reality where TCO and ROI are more than just buzz words. These organisational drivers are now the foundation of business success in the new economy and are most likely here to stay.

Organisations such as SAP are now tasked, more than ever before, to provide its diverse customer base with real and tangible value proposition for their license and maintenance dollar.

In this new reality SAP has made significant strategic changes to its traditional Maintenance Model.

It is committed to make its maintenance offering a true differentiator in the market place, ensuring that “the best run business indeed run SAP”

The decision to introduce the tiered model is a clear message that SAP has realised through intense dialogue with customers as well as the SUGEN program that the “one size fits all” maintenance model is no longer sustainable.

In the past few years SAP made strides in re-establishing close link to its customers, SAP listened to its customers and responded. The session “SAP Tiered Maintenance offering and Enterprise Support as market differentiator” is aimed to demonstrate how SAP responded to customer needs and what customers can do to leverage the offerings SAP made available to better prepare, sustain and grow in this “brave new world”. less
