In-house Support vs. Daffodils Support
| In-house SAP-focused Team | Outsourcing SAP support to a specialized vendor | |
|---|---|---|
| Costs and overhead | Maintaining an in-house team of SAP consultants generally costs more than outsourcing. | A specialized vendor for SAP services takes advantage of economies of scale, wherein a single SAP consultant handles multiple clients' support tickets. |
| Solution delivery time | Proposing and delivering the desired solution may be delayed for a variety of reasons, including competing workload priorities and the need to do research to suggest a best-fit solution | Consultants often offer experience gained from various projects and industries that have faced the same business needs; hence, they are able to offer a comprehensive solution . |
| Monitoring, control and escalation process | Many in-house teams are limited to the knowledge that they already have, and in turn may not have enough expertise to meet business users' needs. | Outside consultants can tap into a vast network of SAP resources and knowledge bases to provide an optimum solution. In addition, a consultant's performance review rests on the number of support tickets successfully and promptly closed. |
| System upgrades, enhancement packages and patches installation | An in-house team will typically only undertake this occasionally on a need basis | Daffodils ensure installation of the latest support patches and provide post-installation support and services. |
| Best Practice Solution | In-house team will have limited exposure of the solution. | We provide Best industry practice and solution, due to their support and project with multiple clients. |
