Managed Services

SAP Support That Goes Beyond the Ticket Queue.

Candent’s SAP Application Management Services give you 24×7 incident management, SLA-governed support, and structured improvement cycles, delivered by the same senior consultants who know your landscape.

What We Deliver

Incident Management, Change Delivery, and Continuous Improvement. Under One SLA.

Candent’s AMS practice is not a helpdesk. It is a managed delivery capability that handles the full range of post-go-live operational need, from break-fix support through planned enhancement delivery.

24x7 Incident and Problem Management

Round-the-clock support for production incidents, with SLA-governed response and resolution, root-cause analysis, and structured prevention. Priority-tiered so critical business processes get the fastest response.

Change Request and Enhancement Delivery

Business requirements, regulatory updates, and deferred scope items from the original program are managed through a structured change pipeline. Impact assessment, testing, and release governance built in.

System Monitoring and Proactive Alerting

Basis-level monitoring of your SAP systems, including performance, availability, job scheduling, and interface health. Issues identified and resolved before they become incidents.

SAP Upgrade and Patch Management

We manage support pack cycles, legal change packages, and SAP-mandated updates on a scheduled basis, so your landscape stays current and compliant without unplanned disruption.

Continuous Improvement and Optimization

AMS engagements include structured improvement cycles, not just break-fix. We track and prioritize optimization opportunities, process gaps, and deferred backlog items on a cadence agreed with your business stakeholders.

Integration and Interface Monitoring

We monitor and maintain the integrations connected to your SAP core. Interface failures, message queues, and API health tracked and managed alongside the application layer.

Designed For

Three Situations Where Candent AMS Makes Sense.

Post go-live with no permanent SAP team in place

The program has been delivered. The implementation team has rolled off. The business is live but the internal team is not equipped to handle changes, upgrades, or growth. You need senior SAP capability without rebuilding a delivery function from scratch.

A support contract that isn’t delivering

Your current AMS provider resolves tickets but cannot handle architecture decisions, integration changes, or complex enhancement work. You are managing the gap between support and delivery yourself.

A SAP landscape inherited without documentation.

You have taken ownership of an SAP environment with limited knowledge transfer. You need a partner who can assess the landscape, establish operational stability, and take on accountability for what comes next.

Our Approach

We Assess the Landscape Before We Agree the SLA.

Signing an AMS contract before understanding the landscape is how support engagements fail. Candent begins every AMS engagement with a structured assessment:
From assessment to operational handover, the transition timeline is agreed upfront. We do not inherit a landscape blind and we do not commit to SLAs we cannot meet.

Why Candent for SAP AMS

The Team That Built Your Program Keeps Running It.

The most effective AMS engagement is one where the support team already understands the architecture, the configuration decisions, and the integration design. When Candent delivers the implementation, AMS continuity is built into the program from the start. When we inherit an existing landscape, we assess it properly before taking accountability.
The people running your AMS are the same people who would design your next phase of work. That continuity is not a selling point. It is what determines whether your SAP investment keeps improving or starts costing you more than it should.

Often Used Alongside

AMS Works Alongside Your Wider Managed Services Engagement.

Many clients combine AMS with Candent’s CoE-as-a-Service practice. Incident and change management handled by AMS, with CoE providing architecture oversight, roadmap governance, and structured improvement planning. Others bring in AMS independently when they have governance capacity but need operational delivery support.
