What the service is

SAP AMS support: what it covers and why it matters

SAP AMS (Application Management Services) is the continuous support service for production SAP systems. It covers functional incident management, operational support, maintenance and evolutionary enhancements to the solution. The difference between a well-structured AMS contract and a poor one is measured in hours of system downtime and budget overruns.

What the service covers

SAP AMS support, end to end

Functional and operational support

Incident management under a defined SLA. Response to critical incidents in under 2 hours.

Proactive support 24/7

Continuous monitoring to identify and resolve problems before they impact operations.

Continuous improvement

Corrective and evolutionary optimization of the implemented SAP processes, adapted to new requirements.

Functional consulting

Specialized advice to increase the value users get from the SAP system.

Performance optimization

System analysis and tuning to improve speed, efficiency and scalability.

Change management

Control of enhancements with budget, timelines and quality committed by contract.

Functional vs. technical

Functional and technical, a single contract

Functional support
  • Business logic implemented in the modules
  • Errors in procurement processes (MM)
  • Issues in financial close (FI)
  • Incidents in logistics (SD, WM)
Technical support (Basis)
  • System infrastructure
  • Performance and transports
  • Patches and connectivity

No gray area of responsibilities. Novis delivers both modalities under a single AMS contract, eliminating the conflicts that arise between separate providers when an incident falls on the functional/technical boundary.

Why Novis

The difference CIOs see

Accountability

A single point of responsibility

Novis takes on the full cycle —functional support, Basis support, enhancements and projects— under the same contract. The client doesn't coordinate among multiple providers when an incident arises.

Certified processes

Audited by SAP (PCOE)

The Partner Center of Expertise certification means SAP audited the operational structure, the escalation procedures and the team's technical capacity. It's not a credential every partner has.

Backing

Agility + the SONDA group

As part of SONDA, a leading integrator in Latin America present in 10 countries, Novis combines the agility of a specialized firm with financial backing and corporate scalability.

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA changes the rules of functional support — and of the team that operates it.

Let's talk about your case →
S/4HANA support

S/4HANA changes the rules of support

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA changes the rules of functional support. Processes redesigned in Fiori, the real-time HANA logic and the lower tolerance for customizations require a team with specific S/4HANA experience, not just SAP ECC.

Novis holds the SAP S/4HANA Solution Operations certification, which guarantees that the support team knows the new operational paradigm and doesn't apply ECC practices to S/4HANA.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before deciding

What does Novis's functional SAP support include?

Novis's SAP AMS service covers functional and operational support, incident management under SLA, advice on system usage, continuous improvement and proactive monitoring 24/7. All under contract with defined service levels and a single assigned point of responsibility.

What are the response times for incidents?

Novis works with SLAs defined by contract. Critical incidents have a response in under 2 hours. The exact times are agreed based on the criticality of the SAP module and the type of client operation.

Does the service include support for SAP S/4HANA?

Yes. Novis holds the SAP S/4HANA Solution Operations certification, which accredits the formal capacity to operate and support SAP S/4HANA environments in production.

How do you contract SAP AMS support with Novis?

The process starts with an assessment of the client's current SAP landscape, the definition of modules and criticality, and the SLA design. To start the conversation, use the contact form or schedule a consultation directly with the sales team.

What sets Novis apart from other SAP support providers in Chile?

Novis combines 3 formal SAP certifications, independent recognition from Chilean CIOs in the ENTI 2025 study, the backing of SONDA and 25 years of experience operating critical SAP platforms. It's the only provider in Chile with that set of credentials simultaneously.

Does SAP AMS support include functional enhancements or only maintenance?

It includes both. In addition to corrective support (incident resolution), the service covers evolutionary continuous improvement of the SAP solution.
