4 INTRODUCTION MANAGED SERVICES OUT OF THE CLOUD ITPC Cloud Managed Services for SAP a Cloud-based Operation Support Centre providing SAP Technology Management Services on a 24x7x365 basis to support and maintain our customers SAP environments, delivering high quality services with maximum flexibility, predictability and scalability of Operations. CLOUD-BASED FLEXIBILITY, EFFICIENCY AND SCALABILITY Our Cloud-based Operations model does not follow the traditional way of managing support on a FTE-based structure. We change the vision of Technology Support by introducing a System-based Support structure, which is the most cost-effective way to manage all SAP Technology related activities. We provide AMS as a service in the true sense of the word, which is a system-driven rather than a person-driven approach, whereby the customer has more clarity as per standardized SLAs, more control with less management cost and a lower TCO. This provides the flexibility to focus more on the core business and less on system downtime and security breaches. ITPC offers its customers a comprehensive portfolio of SAP services, which includes application support and solutions, as well as the efficient operation of the SAP environment itself. Cloud-managed services for SAP means that ITPC provides support and operational services from its own delivery centres. The service range includes safeguarding SAP infrastructure operational support and maintenance of the SAP system technical layer, as well as the underlying RDBMS, plus preventative services such as backup, restore, high availability and disaster recovery. FEATURES Innovative concept Innovative pricing model Acts as a virtual extension of customers IT support environment Combined offerings for Operations, Maintenance and Administration Aggressive off-shoring through 7 x 24h service Fixed-cost approach to manage SAP AMS o Four different service packages o Support model 5 x 24h and 7 x 24h, available per SAP system o Three different Service Levels o Differentiation between ten different SAP system types Offers multiple level of support More reliable and secure SLA-based management and performance measurement Reduced TCO with greater flexibility and scalability Standardized support and delivery model based on ITIL best practices 2015 ITPC AG ZURICH (SWITZERLAND) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PAGE 4
