eBook: What a Customer COE Should Know About Incident Management
The Customer Center of Expertise program entails two maturity levels with an Advanced IT Operations Self-Assessment interposed.
Starting with a Primary Customer COE Certification, customers establish the foundation for their Customer COEs to then continuously prove their maturity and become certified Advanced Customer COEs that facilitate support and drive innovation in their organizations. Advanced Customer COEs therefore act as both service providers and business innovation enablers.
Running a certified Primary Customer COE is a contractual element and demonstrates proficiency in important basic functions. The SAP Primary Customer COE Certification provides a solid foundation for interacting with SAP. This certification consists of self-service by filling out an online-questionnaire. A follow-up call in case of ambiguities is optional.
As a Center of Expertise, please consider the Incident Quality Dashboard Application within the SAP ONE Support Launchpad.
Note that incidents of specific cloud solutions are potentially still excluded. Find the available scope under SAP Enterprise Support Reporting Cockpit “Available Cockpit Content”.
The Advanced Self-Assessment identifies areas of improvement for Primary Customer COE(s) on their journey towards Advanced maturity. After completion, SAP will provide a rough estimation of the maturity of your processes including maturity indicators and recommendations in each area. This Assessment cannot replace the SAP Operations Planning Workshop, where SAP interacts directly with your experts and comes up with a sophisticated and precise evaluation, including a tailored action plan.
The Advanced Customer COE Certification confirms as optional basis an excellent integrated end-to-end solution orchestration and a KPIs driven continuous improvement process through an effective Quality Management System. This shall be renewed on an annual basis. This Certification is performed remotely and onsite.
