Services & Technology

SAP SuccessFactors Support & Application Management Services

Go-live is the start of the relationship, not the end of it. INTEGRTR runs Application Management Services for SAP SuccessFactors and hybrid HR landscapes in three engagement models: structured ticketing, dedicated consulting, and a premium partnership where your consultants bring our own automation suite with them. Start with an expert-led, no-obligation consultation.

AMS & Support

Implementation is a milestone, not the finish line

Application Management Services keep SAP SuccessFactors and hybrid HR landscapes stable, compliant, and aligned with changing business needs long after go-live.

Application Management Services (AMS) cover the ongoing operation, support, and continuous improvement of a business application once it is live. Rather than ending at go-live, AMS keeps your HR landscape running and evolving, so your team can focus on the business instead of the system.

Navigating HR technology extends well beyond the initial deployment, and this is exactly where SAP SuccessFactors support and AMS earns its keep. Platforms like SAP SuccessFactors are transformative milestones, but the essence of their power lies in sustained, optimized performance. That takes a deep understanding of both the technology and the dynamic world of HR, including tracking the biannual SAP SuccessFactors release updates so nothing breaks when SAP ships new features.

Scope

What our SAP SuccessFactors support and AMS covers

Proactive, evolving, and always state-of-the-art.

Incident Management

Resolving day-to-day errors and issues as they arise, from a single user's blocked workflow to a failed interface run.

Minor Enhancements

Small configuration changes and change requests as your business evolves, handled without a project.

Proactive Monitoring

Health checks and performance monitoring that catch problems early, before your end-users feel them.

Release & Patch Management

Keeping the system current with SAP's mandatory releases, patches, and updates, with regression testing before anything ships.

Our approach

At INTEGRTR, we are not only implementers, but also architects and partners of your transformation to the cloud.

Engagement models

Three AMS models, one reliable partner

Choose the level of engagement that matches your team's way of working. Every model runs on the same reliable issue resolution foundation.

Model 1

AMS Ticketing

Classic, structured AMS. Issues are logged and resolved through a proven ticketing tool.

  • Structured ticketing with a full, auditable issue history
  • German or English speaking support, based on your team's preference
  • Clear, severity-based response targets on every ticket
  • Efficient and cost-effective for steady, everyday support

Model 2

AMS Consulting

Everything in Ticketing, plus direct access to a dedicated group of consultants.

  • Everything included in AMS Ticketing
  • Direct contact with a named group of consultants, not just a queue
  • Workshops, strategic input, and proactive advice
  • German-speaking consultants included
Most complete

Model 3

Premium INTEGRTR AMS

Everything in Consulting, plus INTEGRTR's own automation suite applied to your landscape.

  • Everything included in AMS Consulting
  • MDGen, DataFlow, System Documentation, and System Config Comparison applied by your consultants
  • No tool access, licenses, or training needed on your side
  • The highest level of automation and the deepest support we offer

Premium

Your consultants bring the tool suite with them

On Premium, your dedicated team operates INTEGRTR's own products directly on your landscape. Less manual effort, fewer errors, and no tooling project on your side.

Choosing

Which model fits your team?

All three share the same reliable issue resolution foundation. The right choice depends on how much direct support and automation your organization needs.

Choose Ticketing if...

Your team is self-sufficient day to day, you need dependable and cost-efficient issue resolution, and a ticketing tool fits your existing support processes without regular workshops or advisory sessions.

Choose Consulting if...

You want a proactive, strategic AMS partner, your team benefits from direct consultant access, and you need workshops, meetings, and German-speaking consultants as part of the engagement.

Choose Premium if...

You want the deepest support and automation available, you want INTEGRTR's own tool suite applied to your landscape by the people who built it, and you value proactive monitoring and full transparency.

Response framework

Two ways to handle response times

Every AMS engagement runs on one of two response frameworks. Both use the same ticketing tool and the same process.

Whether a response-time commitment is attached is a contractual decision, not a different service. Pick the framework that matches your ticket volume and what your business expects of HR IT.

  • SLA-backed. Response targets follow SAP SuccessFactors' own case-priority classification, from very high through to low, and are agreed in your contract. A monthly service fee applies.
  • No SLA. No monthly service fee and no guaranteed response commitment. You are billed only for the tickets you actually raise, which suits low ticket volumes and occasional support needs.
  • The same service either way. Same ticketing tool, same team, same process. The only difference is whether a response-time commitment is attached.

How we work

Issue or new requirement?

Not every request is an incident. AMS separates fixing what is broken from building what is new, because the two follow very different paths.

An issue

Something is not working as configured or agreed. It is covered by the AMS ticketing process and its SLA, and our team resolves it directly. No approval step, no separate order.

A new requirement

New functionality, or a change beyond the current scope. This status applies only above four hours of implementation effort. Anything at or below four hours is not a new requirement and is handled directly, without formal evaluation or approval.

How a new requirement moves forward

  1. 1

    Requirement raised

    You describe the change you need, through the same channel you use for everything else.
  2. 2

    Effort and time evaluated

    We scope the work and come back with the implementation effort and a realistic timeline.
  3. 3

    You order and approve

    Nothing is built until you have seen the estimate and approved it. No surprises on the invoice.
  4. 4

    Implementation scheduled

    The work is planned into the team's capacity and delivered alongside your day-to-day support.

Frequently asked questions

What are SAP SuccessFactors Application Management Services (AMS)?

AMS provides ongoing technical support, continuous system optimization, and proactive maintenance for your HR landscape after the initial implementation is complete. It ensures your SAP SuccessFactors environment remains stable, secure, and continuously evolves alongside your changing business requirements.

What is included in an SAP SuccessFactors AMS contract?

Every INTEGRTR AMS engagement covers four things as standard: incident management for day-to-day errors, minor enhancements and small configuration changes, proactive monitoring and health checks, and release and patch management for SAP's mandatory biannual updates. Beyond that baseline, what is included depends on the model you choose. AMS Ticketing runs through a structured ticketing tool, AMS Consulting adds direct access to a dedicated group of consultants with workshops and advisory sessions, and Premium INTEGRTR AMS adds our own automation suite, applied to your landscape by that consultant team.

Which SAP SuccessFactors AMS model should we choose?

All three models share the same reliable issue resolution foundation, so the choice comes down to how much direct support and automation you need. Choose AMS Ticketing if your team is self-sufficient day to day and mainly needs dependable, cost-efficient issue resolution. Choose AMS Consulting if you want workshops, meetings, and proactive advice from a named group of consultants. Choose Premium INTEGRTR AMS if you also want our automation suite applied directly to your landscape. We are happy to walk through the trade-offs with you before you commit.

Do you offer SAP SuccessFactors AMS with a service level agreement (SLA)?

Yes. Every AMS engagement can run on one of two response frameworks. The SLA-backed model carries a monthly service fee and response targets aligned with SAP SuccessFactors' own case-priority classification, agreed in your contract. The alternative has no monthly service fee and no guaranteed response commitment: you are billed only for the tickets you actually raise, which suits low ticket volumes and occasional support needs. Both use the same ticketing tool and the same process.

What is the difference between an AMS issue and a new requirement?

An issue is something that is not working as configured or agreed. It is covered by the AMS ticketing process and its SLA, and our team resolves it directly with no approval step. A new requirement is new functionality or a change beyond the current scope: it is evaluated for effort, then ordered and approved by you before implementation is scheduled. That formal path applies only above four hours of implementation effort. Anything at or below four hours is handled directly, without evaluation or approval.

Why should we use a specialized SAP AMS partner instead of our internal IT team?

Maintaining a complex, hybrid SAP HR landscape requires highly specialized knowledge that often strains internal IT helpdesks. A dedicated AMS partner like INTEGRTR acts as an expert extension of your team, providing faster incident resolution, deep HR technology insights, and proactive monitoring so your internal staff can focus on strategic HR initiatives.

How does INTEGRTR manage the biannual SAP SuccessFactors release updates?

SAP pushes mandatory biannual updates that can disrupt existing configurations and custom integrations. Our AMS team proactively manages these release cycles for you. We analyze the release notes, perform rigorous regression testing, and implement the necessary system adjustments to ensure a seamless transition without any operational downtime.

How do you prevent HR integration failures before they impact the business?

We shift HR IT support from reactive firefighting to proactive management. By leveraging advanced tracking solutions like INTEGRTR.Monitor, our support team continuously oversees your hybrid data flows. This allows us to catch and resolve potential synchronization errors between SuccessFactors and your ERP or payroll systems long before they impact end-users.

Does your SAP SuccessFactors support include continuous system enhancements?

Yes. True Application Management is not just about fixing bugs, it is about continuous business improvement. As your organization evolves, our experts continually refine your workflows, configure new HR modules, and optimize your overall system architecture to ensure you are maximizing the ROI of your SAP investment.

What happens when our HR tech stack needs to scale or integrate new third-party tools?

Your HR ecosystem is never static. Our AMS model is built for agility and scalability. Whether your enterprise is navigating a merger, deploying a new global payroll provider, or integrating identity management tools like Active Directory, we ensure your SuccessFactors environment adapts and scales smoothly.
