What is SAP BASIS Governance?
SAP BASIS Governance is a term adopted by the experts at Stefanini Group to define a specific project support service provided to SAP BASIS customers. SAP BASIS is the “branch” of SAP responsible for the configuration and technical management of SAP environments to ensure the system functions correctly.
Below, we will delve into what SAP BASIS Governance specifically entails.
Origins and Purpose
SAP BASIS Governance is a service that originated in 2017 to meet the specific needs of a client who did not require purely technical activities, which constitute the core business and the primary focus of SAP BASIS technical companies. Instead, the client sought the assistance of an expert capable of providing professional and specific support in organizing and defining the project based on their needs and specifics. This expert would cooperate with the client’s BASIS technology partner resources to implement the best solution for the company’s business.
Tailor-Made Support
In other words, SAP BASIS Governance allows SAP BASIS customers to have at their disposal not only a SAP BASIS technical figure but also a professional who handles every aspect of the project activity according to their needs and the characteristics and peculiarities of their business. The focus of this activity is customer-oriented, aiming to provide a “tailor-made” service that is increasingly efficient and high-quality.
The service is provided to various clients and is currently requested for both project activities and AMS (Application Management Services), where the client already has their BASIS partner responsible for technical activities.
Professional Expertise
SAP BASIS Governance professionals have a SAP BASIS technical background, along with the operational skills necessary to interact with every figure involved in the project, from SAP IT managers to Project Managers to BASIS technicians.
We work following the main frameworks and methodologies such as ITIL, SCRUM, COBIT, AGILE, and SAP ACTIVATE.
Strategic Value
This portfolio of knowledge and skills is essential to evaluate, anticipate, and foresee the possible impacts and consequences that various configurations or project steps may have on the client’s business. This allows for defining the best SAP BASIS strategy to adopt in each specific case.
SAP BASIS Governance perfectly follows the business evolution related to the BASIS world, as SAP itself envisions and has been evolving it over the years.
This type of opportunity helps safeguard the activities of SAP BASIS clients, providing added value in terms of service quality and, consequently, a competitive advantage for the organization.
Conclusion
Today, SAP BASIS Governance is a well-established service within Stefanini Group, widely appreciated by its clients, continually evolving, and capable of expanding the boundaries of its scope. The natural evolution, which is already happening, is to provide this service in the realm of migrating a client’s SAP products to cloud environments.
