Benefits Of Outsourcing to Blue Marlin Systems

Today’s Business Environment
As the world economy struggles to regain it’s foothold, business climates continue to change and the competition continues to front a tougher battle. Many SAP customers have had to reduce their SAP support or have focused on maintaining a status quo. The time is ripe to leverage the significant investment in SAP.

Benefits of Partnering with Blue Marlin

Reduce the cost of the maintenance of your SAP production environment.
Managed Application Services allows you to take advantage of using partial resources. There are probably skills that that you need on a part time or occasional basis. It’s costly for you to build those skills and almost impossible to give them the experience they need to maintain that skill. By supporting multiple customers, Blue Marlin resources have the expertise, the experience and the knowledge that you can leverage.
 
Reap the benefits from SAP that were planned
Partnering with Blue Marlin allows your business experts to concentrate on fine tuning current processes and to design and implement additional business processes. Managed Application Services can efficiently and cost effectively support your SAP production environment while your business experts focus on realizing your planned ROI.
 
Provide the new SAP functionality that your business needs.
With the business slow down, not much new development has been completed in the last 12 months. Now new SAP functionality is needed to meet changing business needs. Free up your SAP business experts to meet business needs by letting Blue Marlin care for the SAP production system.
 
Maintain a fixed budget for SAP production support.
For a fixed monthly fee, Blue Marlin will provide expert support for your SAP application. Blue Marlin will support your SAP users by handling all their questions and any problems they encounter in a timely matter. Minor enhancements can also be prioritized and addressed. If there is a backlog of fixes and enhancements that seem to never get addressed, Blue Marlin will help you prioritize the backlog and create a plan to address those critical to the business.
 
Have the skills and expertise required to support a world class SAP environment.
You originally staffed your SAP project with business people with a vision who could provide the SAP project with the leadership and direction to improve your business processes. Those key business experts have not been able to return to their original jobs because they are needed to care for and feed the SAP system. Now, they are also needed for continued strategic growth of the system.
Allow Blue Marlin to take over the day-to-day support of the production environment and let your staff do the job they were originally chosen to do. The competition is changing and improving faster than ever before. Your business processes and systems must, at least, keep pace if not leap frog the competition. Give your experts the opportunity to fight the battle.

Blue Marlin’s support team has the right skills, the right customer service mindset and the right experience to provide 24X7 support for your complex SAP environment. Managed Application Services has the processes and tools to stabilize your SAP environment which will allow you to focus on new development and stop fighting fires.
