Walldorf, January 22, 2009 — REALTECH AG, a SAP services partner, was certified by SAP AG as a provider of Solution Operations standards implementation services based on the "Run SAP" methodology. The company is one of the first SAP partners to be certified in the 'Run SAP' methodology. REALTECH has already incorporated the 'Run SAP' methodology into its implementation standards.
"The adoption of the 'Run SAP' methodology allows us to deliver significant added value to our customers. Particularly through end-to-end application management that exceeds customer requirements," said Johannes Lang, Managing Director at REALTECH system consulting GmbH. "By adopting the SAP standards for Solution Operations, we are providing our customers with proven methodology. 'Run SAP' empowers our customers to manage their SAP applications more efficiently and at a lower cost."
The Run SAP methodology brings benefits to the operation of SAP solutions just as ASAP brings benefits to their initial implementation. It is a tried and tested methodology that focuses on application management, business process operations, and the operation of SAP applications. It also provides best-practice procedures, guidelines, services, training, and tools for the successful implementation of End-to-End Solution Operations. It focuses on application management, business process operations, and administration of SAP solutions. The 'Run SAP' methodology supports the operation of SAP solutions, but focuses on application management and business process management. In addition, with its best-practice documents, it describes how to implement SAP solution operations for different SAP software-based business processes.
“We applaud REALTECH in becoming one of the first SAP services partners certified in the 'Run SAP' methodology,” said Dr. Uwe Hommel, Executive Vice President of Active Global Support at SAP AG. “"By adopting the End-to-End Solution Operations standards provided by the 'Run SAP' methodology, REALTECH is delivering its customers a higher level of effectiveness and efficiency."”
The 'Run SAP' methodology is an integral part of SAP Enterprise Support services, a holistic support model designed to enable continuous improvement and successful solution operations at lower cost and in less time.
SAP customers will realize the benefits of operating with the End-to-End Solution Operation standards. SAP standards for solution operations are a prerequisite for the continuous improvement of SAP solution operations. Not only do they enable automation, reducing the cost of operations, but also offer improved traceability and an audit trail, helping companies to achieve cost efficiency, quality assurance and compliance enablement.
