Managed Services
CIBER’s Managed Services are comprised of a number of offerings,
ranging from entry level Health Check Services through to Remote
Facilities Management, Outsourcing and fully Hosted Solutions -
all designed to help you maintain system development and optimise
system performance to a programme of Continuous Operations Improvement.
Health Check Service
To keep your SAP System(s) running as optimally as possible, SAP
Best Practice advocates a prescriptive monitoring schedule. Normally
this monitoring is undertaken by the customer’s own SAP Administrator.
In situations where SAP administrative resources are limited in
terms of capacity and/or experience, this can often be overlooked.
The Health Check service is intended to remove this burden via the
provision of pro-active system monitoring, thus enabling customers
to use their own resources more cost effectively.
Pro-active System Monitoring is specifically aimed at problem prevention
and optimal system performance through a combination of activities
designed to ensure normal running of the SAP system.
The following activities are included in the service:
- Provide a pro-active system monitoring function consisting
of an agreed schedule of formal Health Check events carried out
by experienced SAP consultants. Checks will be predominantly performed
remotely, but scheduled on-site time is also allocated at regular
intervals
- Report all identified issues and recommend resolution strategy
- Resolve minor issues and undertake remedial activities within
the ‘Contracted Time’
- Configuration of complimentary SAP tools (eg. Early Watch Alert)
where practicable
- Pro-actively escalate critical issues
- Provide planning assistance for significant maintenance events
Remote Facilities Management
Administering an SAP landscape is a recognised industry skill and
as such, employing dedicated resources to fulfil this requirement
comes at a premium. This can also be compounded by initial and on
going training costs to maintain this skill. CIBER Remote Facilities
Management negates the need for you to employ a dedicated SAP Systems
Administrator.
As a minimum, this service includes all the deliverables of the
CIBER Health Check, plus the resolution of any system issues encountered
and all administrative maintenance activities. The service is designed
to provide customers with the flexibility to extend the scope of
the Facilities Management. This is achieved by selecting from a
predefined range of activities - those you wish to retain in-house
and those you wish to be managed externally as part of the service.
Examples of such activities would be: Transport Management, User
Administration, Printer Management, Authorisations, Performance
Tuning, Client Maintenance.
Outsourcing
CIBER’s outsourcing model provides a premium service that removes
all responsibility from a customer with regard to running their SAP system(s)
and the management of the associated infrastructure. Outsourcing is a proven
strategic way to reduce and control operating costs, improve company focus
and gain access to world-class IT processes. You can gain access to a team
of highly skilled, highly motivated and fully certified SAP engineers with
the expertise required to deploy and manage SAP Business Suite applications,
SAP R/3 (SAP ERP) as well as the new components in SAP NetWeaver®. CIBER

addition we offer complete resilience, disaster recovery design and implementation
