SAP Services

Analyse, plan, implement, operate. These four steps are key to the success of any SAP project and the continual development of SAP solutions and of the entire SAP system environment. Many businesses do not have the necessary depth of expertise to look after these activities themselves. Ideally, they turn to an external provider for support in the form of SAP Services.

What makes Syntax SAP Services special

SAP and industry expertise

We have manufacturing in our blood and have been SAP partners from a very early stage. This combination of experience means we can help our customers build SAP systems that are a perfect fit for their current needs and compatible with future plans. We are familiar with industrial processes and understand the current and future requirements for IT systems that are innovative, and that add value and align with the business model.

360° outlook

We know the entire SAP life cycle comprising consulting, implementation services and operation. Irrespective of whether we operate the systems or simply consult and plan, our customers get pragmatic, efficient and manageable SAP solutions that deliver in practice. And when we supply all of the services concerned, we can add valuable synergies for the customer.

A partnership of equals

Communication and cooperation are the foundations of our work. We work as your partner and make your objectives our own. This approach and our highly engaged, experienced consultants are the basis for our customers’ success.

Network for innovation

Our wide network of partners, which has been nurtured for decades, helps us foster innovation that lets our customers achieve their goals. Essential components of this are our close ties with AWS and Microsoft for the operation of SAP in public cloud systems. And of course we are an SAP Gold Partner of many years’ standing.

Experience, experience, experience

We bring more than 40 years of SAP full-service experience in the industry to every project: consulting, implementation services, service management, SAP solution hosting (on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, hybrid). We don’t just play around, we’ve done everything or something similar at least once before. And every bit of experience we take from a project benefits the rest of our customers too.

Our core sectors

Processes and everyday work look a lot different in a medium-sized automotive supplier compared with a business supplying financial services. Since the delivery of SAP Services is directly linked with business processes, business models and a company’s innovation, service providers need to have in-depth understanding of the industries concerned. Practical experience is even more important than just having read the theory.

We concentrate on providing SAP Services to manufacturing companies.

These are organisations where the MES and logistics systems are at the centre, or even solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). SAP customers have to combine tools like SAP MES and SAP SCM, to name but two, with the business management packages such as SAP CRM, SAP HR and SAP FI/CO, etc. in a harmonious ensemble. And we know how that works in an industrial setting.

Our SAP Services are targeted at businesses in all segments of the manufacturing and processing sectors. These include the automotive sector, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, food production and processing, metalworking, electronics; we have industry-specific process templates to support your specific requirements for every area.

FAQ: SAP Services

What is the SAP product strategy?

The cornerstone of the SAP product strategy is SAP S/4HANA. This will be the mandatory SAP basis system from 2027 onwards, when support for the legacy SAP ECC system will come to an end. S/4HANA has been developed for operation in the cloud. SAP sees the cloud as the operating environment of the future. With this in mind, SAP has moved away from the traditional model of software versions. Instead it provides quarterly updates that include new features and function upgrades that integrate automatically into the customer’s S/4HANA system. Handling these updates requires a good deal of background knowledge and as much practical expertise as possible. For this reason it is an activity that many businesses seek to outsource to an IT service provider as part of a SAP Application Management Service (SAP AMS).
