Our SAP PCoE Technical Implementation service is specially designed to help SAP VAR Partners build and setup a Support Infrastructure as a key requirement to opt for VAR-delivered support. With this service, SAP VAR Partners can secure the timely implementation of the physical applications, tools and systems necessary to get ready for PCoE certification.
Cost-Effectivness
To ensure the availability and proper functioning of your PCoE, the service focuses on:
-
Remote Connectivity (SAP Router)
-
Incident Management (Service Desk)
-
Maintenance Management (Maintenance Optimizer)
-
System Monitoring (SAP Early Watch)
When Should the Service Be Used?
The implementation of the SAP Solution Manager along with supporting technical infrastructure is required for SAP VAR Partners to become eligible for VAR-delivered support. Unfortunately, SAP Service Desk configuration for VAR support is not quite a common scenario even for seasoned SAP Solution Manager consultants. Whether you are planning to apply for VAR-delivered support or you are in the process to certification, our PCoE technical experts can help you get the job done without typical delays.
The PCoE Technical Implementation service by Global Online Partners® is the most feasible alternative for SAP VARs to achieve technical readiness for PCoE certification, quickly and without risks.
