SAP earned a coveted STAR Award for Best Practices in Support Services for Schedule an Expert from the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA). SAP also entered Next-Generation Support which became a finalist for TSIA’s highly competitive Transformation of Support Services category.

"We’re proud to acknowledge SAP as one of the outstanding companies, on their achievements,” said Thomas Lah, TSIA executive director. “It’s clear that this year’s winners have gone above and beyond in demonstrating their commitment to outstanding innovation, leadership, and excellence.”

Winning a STAR Award for Schedule an Expert illustrates the success of SAP’s game-changing approach for true always-on support that is essential for intelligent enterprises,” said Mohammed Ajouz, SVP, Global Head of Product Support at SAP. ”Schedule an Expert offers a tremendous benefit to customers with faster incident resolution and less ping-pong, compared to traditional written incidents – all at no additional cost.”

The Schedule an Expert service lets customers connect one-on-one with an SAP product support expert in a live, 30-minute Skype call with screen-sharing. Customers book a time that works for their schedule and they talk with the same engineer that they would create an incident with – but spend less time waiting for response and resolution for technical issues.



For the STAR Awards, Schedule an Expert topped the Best Practices in Support Services category, which recognized the company that embraced best practices in people, process and/or a technology that increased productivity, service levels or customer-centric measurements; increased problem avoidance; or effectively handled more interactions using unassisted or assisted channels.

“With services like Schedule an Expert, SAP will continue to rethink support - putting the customer experience first, while providing innovative solutions to help them run their business,” said Andreas Heckmann, SVP, Head of Support Delivery, SAP. Schedule an Expert is part of SAP’s groundbreaking Next-Generation Support.

In addition to the recent STAR recognitions – SAP also earned a prestigious honor of Top Ten Best Support Websites 2018 for the SAP Support Portal from the Association of Support Professionals (ASP)  – as part of the company‘s ongoing transformation of support services.
