"Maps are essential", says author Mark Jennings, "Planning a journey without a map is like building a house without drawings". This analogy is equally true when it comes to planning and managing your IT solution.
That's why SAP introduced SAP Enterprise Support value maps, which provide clear guidance helping you to navigate intuitively through the support services, offerings and tools available in the SAP Enterprise Support portfolio. What's even better: in addition to the structured approach, you get access to SAP experts and your customer peers via social collaboration.
There are currently 9 SAP Enterprise Support value map topics available to you via the SAP Enterprise Support Academy to help you plan your IT Journey. (see list of available topics here).
Here's what customers who participated in our most recent SAP Enterprise Support value map pilots had to say:
95% agreed that they "gained additional skills to leverage SAP Solution Manager" using the value maps approach.
89% confirmed that the "content quality offered in the SAP Enterprise Support value maps was sufficient to meet my business challenges".
96% stated that "SAP Enterprise Support value maps helped to increase the transparency of the SAP Enterprise Support portfolio".
The three newest value map additions are SAP Solution Manager Readiness, Test Management and Analytics.
