Remote Technical Upgrades
Enterprises running SAP version 4.6C or 4.7 have a difficult question to answer:
To Upgrade or not to Upgrade?
| A New Pricing Paradigm |

Because DBSi has the experience and proven processes, we require less time than the competition to deliver a production ready environment. Our services are completely U.S. based — you will know the people working on your systems, and will rest easy in the knowledge your work will not be outsourced to an external software house. The DBSi Enterprise Upgrade Team is led by the same individual who built, managed, and executed the remote technical upgrade services at SAP Americas. There he personally led over 30 upgrade with a 100% success rate. Now you can receive the benefits of top SAP talent, without the excessive price tag normally associated with larger system integrators. |
The costs normally associated with upgrades can often be a fiscal constraint. With limited IT budgets, over utilized staff, and lack of in-house skill sets, many enterprises are postponing these decisions. Yet this is at the risk of higher maintenance fees and delayed ROI that the newer releases of SAP can bring; particularly delaying the benefits of adopting eSOA which is inherent in the latest releases of SAP.
DBSi can now assist enterprises in answering the difficult question of upgrading with a resounding - YES! We provide cost effective technical upgrades that can be done remotely on your hardware or in one of our world class data center facilities.
The DBSi Enterprise Upgrade team has years of experience with over 80 upgrades under their belt. The success or failure of an upgrade is in the details, miss a step and things can go drastically wrong. DBSi has invested heavily in building a staff of seasoned professionals who have seen it all, and you benefit from their experience. We will guide you through the technical upgrade process and be your navigator to ensure you safely arrive at your destination. All steps are well documented and communicated throughout the process.
How it works
Clients using our remote upgrade service provision their hardware for the upgrade. DBSi will evaluate the target landscape to ensure it meets SAP’s upgrade specifications. If you do not have an environment for the upgrade or your landscape does not meet SAP’s minimum requirements; DBSi can provide the necessary hardware to support the upgrade process. Once the upgrade has been executed DBSi will assist in the migration of your new development, QA, and/or production environments at your facilities or ours.
ASAP Methodology for Upgrades
DBSi strictly adheres to SAP’s ASAP methodology for upgrades, this enables a client to completely map an upgrade through his entire architecture. Does DBSi have the skills to use this methodology? Absolutely, our head of delivery wrote the first iteration of this methodology when he worked at SAP America. By following the ASAP upgrade roadmap, you will have the highest quality of work producing the greatest return on your investment. Although we strongly believe in the methodology, we only use tasks within the ASAP roadmap for upgrades that are most appropriate for remote your upgrade.

Advanced Workspace Recovery Facilities
One of our clients, a large investment firm, is located near a major river that hadn’t flooded in 75 years. All that changed a few years ago when unusually strong spring storms caused the river to crest.The city shut down the entire street in advance of the coming disaster.
Everyone in the company was expecting the disruption to be difficult, and their temporary workspace to be the uncomfortable, exposed, loud and non-private typical with other workspace recovery providers.
Fortunately, all of their data and email was hosted at DBSi. We quickly replicated their environment and for five days, the entire staff of 35 relocated to one of DBSi’s spacious, secure, private and well-appointed workspace continuity suites. Business as usual.
