SAP® Technology

A reliable SAP® system landscape is highly important for critical business processes, with availability, scalability and performance playing a key role. Choosing the right platform, as well as getting the right advice on architecture and technology, are key when it comes to ensuring the stability of SAP® systems. SVA helps you make the right decision, design your solution and implement it, as well as assisting with the operation of the SAP® systems at a later stage.

SAP® system sizing and architecture

The operational demands placed on the availability of SAP® systems, combined with forecast growth and the existing footprint, form the basis for sizing and designing the future landscape architecture of SAP® systems. SVA can draw on a proven method and a wealth of experience from numerous customer projects here.

Selecting the correct SAP® platform (on-premises/cloud)

The selection of the correct platform and the respective SAP® infrastructure depends on the customer strategy (on-premises or cloud), its preferred providers and operational demands that impact the sizing and architecture of the SAP® systems. Because of SVA’s extensive portfolio, the company can provide independent SAP® consulting services and thus recommend the optimum platform for the customer requirements.

Installation, migration and conversion

Some activities are performed more often than others in basic SAP® systems. For activities that occur frequently (updates, entering notes), as well as those that are more seldom (installations, upgrades, migrations to SAP® HANA or SAP® S/4HANA and Unicode conversions), it is worth relying on best practices and experience. SVA utilizes the extensive expertise gained from countless customer projects to provide support for all these topics while implementing its own best practices.

Automation

Automation has now also reached SAP® customers. Ever more activities can now be automated in basic SAP® systems; from the provision of SAP® systems, up to automated patch management. This not only has the benefit of reducing staff effort, but also standardizes processes. As a member of the SAP® Linux Lab, SVA helps you answer the question as to how automation can provide sensible added value when operating the SAP® system landscape.

Performance analysis and optimization

Depending on their exact nature, performance problems on SAP® systems can have a significant impact on business processes. This can result in a range of issues: from delayed transactions and program terminations, to extended running times for batch jobs, all the way up to system crashes or downtime. SVA methodically analyzes the SAP® systems across multiple layers in order to determine the cause and rectify it.
