7 Reasons Nearshore SAP Services w/ Softtek is the Hottest Around

So what’s all the buzz about nearshore SAP services? Why not just hire freelancers, in-house resources, or go offshore to get your SAP applications installed, upgraded and maintained?

It’s hard to be sexy when we're talking about SAP. But here are 7 reasons why Softtek’s Nearshore SAP offerings are one the hottest services around.

1.    Softtek is in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant as one of the “nimbler” SAP providers

But Softtek didn’t just make it on the Magic Quadrant for the past three years – Gartner consistently recognizes us as one of the more nimble players on the market, contrasting our service with some of the larger, legacy players. 

2.    We Offer Managed Services on a ‘Pay-by-the-Drink’ Model

Do you know how much service and maintenance for SAP costs? A lot – trust me. Ok, don’t trust me, see for yourself: SAP’s top clients typically pay between $2 million and $5 million a year on SAP support costs.

As Constellation Research analyst R “Ray” Wang said in a 2013 Computer World article, “Every four years, they’re paying the same amount [maintaining SAP] as they paid for the licenses.”

But we resolve that by providing a full array of SAP maintenance and services on an “as-a-service” model that includes:

• Centralized help desk
• Global client knowledge base
• Millions of man-hours of SAP experience and expertise
• Incident Management System with workflows that enable compliance with SLAs and identification of the root cause of problems to prevent relapses and improve performance of SAP’s technological platform

3.    Our Maintenance Services Provides More Than Just “Break-Fix”

It’s great when you can get something broken fixed seamlessly and quickly. But Softtek’s Nearshore SAP services gives you more than just break-fix solutions. We provide preventative, adaptive, and enhancement services.

What does this mean? We work tirelessly to make sure we prevent problems from arising instead of allowing them to rear their ugly heads. We also make sure we’re adapting your SAP services to your environment and to changes in the technology landscape so you get the best, most up-to-date platform for your critical business operations.

4.    We Work In Your Time-Zone, No Matter Where You Are In The World

With our global footprint we cover all time zones, so no matter where you have an office we are there for you working in your time zone. No late-night videoconferences or early morning pre-coffee emergency calls.
