SAP Basis Consulting

SAP Basis Consulting addresses the fundamental technical and administrative aspects of the SAP system. It forms the foundation for all SAP applications and is crucial for the smooth and efficient functioning of the SAP system. The main content of SAP Basis Consulting includes:

System installation and configuration: Basic consulting typically begins with the installation and configuration of the SAP system. This includes setting up the necessary hardware and software, defining system parameters, configuring the database, and installing SAP components.

System upgrade and migration: When upgrading to a new version of SAP or migrating to another platform, basic consulting supports the smooth transition of the existing system to the new environment.

User management: Basis consultants are responsible for managing user accounts, roles, and authorizations in the SAP system. They ensure that users have access only to the data and functions relevant to them.

System monitoring and performance optimization: Monitoring the SAP system is a critical task to ensure high availability and performance. Basis consultants monitor system resources, key performance indicators, and database activity to identify and resolve bottlenecks or potential problems early on.

Transport: The transport of development objects (such as adaptations and extensions) between the various SAP system landscapes (e.g. from development to test and production systems) is coordinated and carried out by Basis Consulting.

Troubleshooting and Support: Basis consultants are responsible for analyzing and resolving technical errors and problems in the SAP system. They work closely with functional consultants and developers to develop and implement solutions.

Security and Authentication: Basis consultants implement security policies and ensure that the SAP system is protected from unauthorized access. This includes implementing security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and access restrictions.

Disaster recovery and backups: Basis consultants regularly create backups of the SAP system to enable rapid recovery in the event of a system failure or data loss.

Patch management and system maintenance: Basic consulting takes care of installing SAP patches and updates to keep the system up to date and close security gaps.

Technical Documentation: Basis Consultants create and maintain technical documentation to document all system settings and configurations and to serve as a reference for future upgrades or changes.

SAP Basis Consulting is therefore crucial for the stability, security and efficiency of an SAP system and forms the basis for the success of other SAP consulting areas such as functional consulting or development work.
