SAP B1 RSP MANDATORY FROM 1ST JUNE 2013

SAP’s Remote Support Platform (RSP) will become mandatory from the 1st June 2013 for all SAP Business One site installations.SAP Business One

The Remote support platform for SAP Business One provides proactive maintenance of site installations to prevent and fix time-consuming maintenance issues. It assists with implementations, upgrades, and issue resolution.

From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from RSP for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etcetera). Failure to upload the SSR to SAP will result in an inevitable delay with the resolution of tickets passed onto SAP support.

The RSP is normally installed with SAP Business One.  However, this may not have been enabled for some earlier SAP Business One installations.

The Prospettiva Technical Support team will be checking RSP status on each site as part of the support process.  On sites where RSP is missing, it will be installed. On sites where RSP is disabled, it will be enabled. On Sites where the RSP is out of date, it will be upgraded.

We will not, of course, conduct any of the above activities without first consulting designated Maintenance Contacts.

If you have any questions, please contact the helpdesk on 0844 318 6000 or click here to send us a message.

SMEs DRIVING GROWTH IN 2012

At least half of the growth in the year ahead will come from SMEs, accounting for the majority of private sector jobs created in 2012.

With more than 95% of all UK businesses being SMEs, this sector has a vital role to play in pushing forward our economy, according to the recent “Ingenious Britain” feature in the Sunday Telegraph.

Ingenious Britain is an exciting initiative, with supporters including The Prime Minister’s Office, the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, and The OECD. Its role is to promote innovation in the UK to drive economic growth.

SAP  is a proud sponsor.

The Sunday Telegraph supplement included an interview on SMES thinking BIG with better tools.spacer
