Summary:
The SAP Cloud Success organization is aiming to create an industry-leading Virtual customer engagement experience that provides an easy-to-use digital entry point with on-demand access to self-help, guidance, and experts from SAP (Virtual CSP Customer Success Partners) to our customers after they have purchased an SAP solution. The objective of this function will be to optimize the customer onboarding and adoption processes to improve renewal rates, customer satisfaction and customer success in the Digital customer segment through a consistent, efficient, scalable methodology across different SAP cloud lines of business.
 
The role of the Customer Success Partner (CSP) has been an effective method when engaging with the most important customers (top 5%) in a high touch manner. In order to scale, SAP needs to develop engagement models for all customer classifications (remaining 95%). To close this gap, the role of a Virtual Customer Success Partner (VCSP) has been established for all SAP cloud lines of business. Virtual CSP’s will use a low touch/virtual engagement approach in order to provide an excellent customer experience across a number of customers. The Virtual CSP will be located in several e-centers globally and have access to the latest digital tools.

The Role:

Target New Customers on a frequent basis to offer virtual onboarding sessions and check-ins during the implementation and adoption processes. V-CSPs will adapt a standard onboarding PPT to the specific customer and review live what was licensed, ensure successful login, and position themselves as a shared entity accessible in the future via generic email and/or app. 

Respond to risk scenarios – V-CSPs will be a point of contact for defined customer risk scenarios helping to orchestrate appropriate communication channels for support but are not considered a replacement for standard SAP support and practices.  Sharing SAP Cloud solutions strategic direction and best practices by reacting to customer requests in either 1:1 or 1: many sharing sessions. Where relevant, experts will be brought in to address specific topics.
