Predictive customer support
Posted by Eva-Maria Fahrer on 29/04/2019 16:50
This is the second article in my series of articles. It is my personal observations, summaries and insights of SAP's strategies based on a shift I see in the message from SAP. The articles are based on top Management in SAP sharing their insights in our bi-annual Executive Exchange. Next Generation Support SAP Calm is the focus of this article and builds on the fact SAP themselves use the new technology to support their customers.
Our Exceutive Exchange Michael Kleinemeier (responsible for SAP Digital Business, leader of the SAP Digital Business Services organization and a member of the SAP Executive Board of SAP SE since 2015) opened with a nice individual handshake with every person in the room. He came together with his colleagues Andreas Heckmannand Tom Janoshami. Tom Janoshami talked about Integrated Delivery Framework and Andreas Heckmannabout Next Generation Support SAP Calm.

The Chat program is built right into the incident form in the support page. Users submit an incident, and fill in the relevant information about the problem or question. Then, if a support engineer is available for the selected component, a green “Start Chat” button next to the “Submit” button in the incident screen will appear, and the user can directly discuss his incident with a real, live, trained SAP support expert. Not an answering machines or automated responders. If the support engineer is not able to resolve your incident immediately, he or she will continue with the incident submission process. Whether the issue is resolved immediately or not, the chat transcript will be recorded in the incident log for future reference. See picture with Andreas Heckmann
