It’s always been a key ambition of SAP’s global support organization to help its customers realize critical business outcomes. Now it can become a reality: a selection of four innovative tools can help SAP customers in various ways to realize the value from their SAP investment; all of them aim to deliver insight on key customer questions and can help to identify business and IT opportunities relevant to their company.
In this way they help customers to realize value from their support and maintenance contract; some of them also deliver a simple and holistic report about benefits realized from SAP services and solutions. This blog post helps you understand better which tool to use for what purpose.

SAP's value assessment tools are a best practice for outcome engineering
In 2015’s Technology Services World (TSW) conference TSIA’s executive director, Thomas Lah, explained in detail how outcome engineering drives revenue growth. He also reviewed lessons learned from companies that have been working on engineering customer outcomes.
During his keynote Thomas talks about SAP’s customer value experience as an industry best practice for outcome engineering from SAP’s Global Service and Support organization with joint efforts from SAP Maintenance Go-To-Market and SAP ES&PE delivery teams.
