Today, Let's delve into the fifth and final service within Preferred Success - "Ad-hoc Advisory and Success Checks."


 

Unlocking the Potential of Success Checks:

SAP Preferred Success understands that a holistic approach to success extends beyond the initial implementation phases. It encompasses the entire journey, from adoption to optimization. To cater to this, SAP offers both Solution Launch Checks (pre-go-live) and Success Checks (post-go-live). These checks serve as a bridge, connecting your organization with functional specialists who are well-versed in SAP best practices.


The Personalized Touch:

What sets Success Checks apart is their personalization. These checks aren't one-size-fits-all; instead, they're designed to meet your organization's unique needs. Imagine a virtual setting where you have exclusive sessions with SAP's customer success experts and functional specialists. These experts leverage their deep knowledge to provide you with feedback and recommendations tailored precisely to your current landscape and goals.

Unearthing Best Practices:

Success Checks dive deep into your solution landscape during the operate/optimize phase. The objective is clear - identify SAP best practices that will empower your organization. After these sessions, you receive a comprehensive report loaded with best practice recommendations, essentially a roadmap for your journey to excellence.

When to Request Success Checks?

Timing is crucial when considering Success Checks. You should contemplate requesting this service when:

1. Your organization has successfully completed the onboarding activities.
2. You've already built a Story/Dashboard in the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) tenant, with the content closely resembling the final production version.
3. Your organization is in the preparation phase for Go-Live.

Proactive Problem-Solving:

Success Checks are more than just a review; they are an opportunity to address concerns and challenges proactively. During these sessions, an SAP Functional Specialist will guide you through the process. You'll be requested to provide information for them to connect to your system, so ensure you have remote connectivity login ready for your SAC environment. If any performance-related concerns arise, these checks offer a platform to discuss and potentially resolve them during the session. If resolution isn't immediate, recommendations will be provided for addressing these issues in the future.

In Summary:

SAP Preferred Success is your trusted partner on your journey to SAP excellence. With Ad-hoc Advisory and Success Checks, you gain access to personalized guidance, deep insights, and best practice recommendations. Consider SAP Preferred Success as an indispensable companion on your path to success with SAP solutions.
