About Run SAP
Run SAP is essentially the ASAP methodology, but for operations. It is a phased
methodology based on SAP's more than 35 years of industry experience. Run SAP
provides best practices, content, services, training and tools for the set up
and delivery of end-to-end solution operations.
The Run SAP methodology is an integrated part of SAP's open and integrated
approach to application lifecycle management based on the Information Technology
Infrastructure Library (ITIL). It offers supporting applications, services,
methodologies, standards and an organizational model to manage SAP and non-SAP
solutions throughout the entire application lifecycle. Instead of focusing on
individual phases, SAP provides a holistic approach. Results of the various
phases can be leveraged by other phases within the application lifecyle, and a
single source of truth can be established with the integration provided by SAP
Solution Manager. This helps customers deliver innovation and implement changes
quickly to meet business requirements, reduce operational costs, and further
ensure business continuity by delivering superior-quality applications.
"We congratulate EDB ErgoGroup on becoming an SAP-certified provider of solution
implementation based on the Run SAP methodology," said Anja-Christina Bruehling,
vice president and head of Global Partner Management and Training, Active Global
Support, SAP.
"Run SAP is a methodology for application lifecycle management that guides users
through defining the scope of the operations to be implemented, including
preparing a detailed plan, conducting the setup and finally, running and
managing SAP solutions. Customers, partners and consultants will benefit from
Run SAP, which will help them to find the right strategies and tools to
implement and manage their end-to-end solution operations."
Run SAP, SAP Solution Manager, enterprise edition, and application lifecycle
management are integral parts of SAP Enterprise Support services, a holistic
support model designed to enable continuous improvement and successful solution
operations at lower risk and cost.
SAP customers will realize the benefits of operating in alignment with SAP's
approach to application lifecycle management and the end-to-end SAP standards
for solution operations, which are a prerequisite for the continuous improvement
of SAP solution operations. Not only do they enable automation, reducing the
cost of operations, but also improve traceability by providing an audit trail.
This helps companies achieve cost efficiency, quality assurance and compliance
enablement.
