The services to be procured under this RFP is broadly divided in 2 categories
1. Application Support (Primary Support Staff)
2. Application Enhancements (Secondary Support staff)

2.5 Rationalization of Team Structure


Primary (Field support staff) Support Team structure does not need to be an exact replica of the MCGM’s
organization‘s team structure. Instead, it is beneficial to have the support teams based on the SAP module
and the business process flow in the customer‘s organization, users for each module, no. of historical
tickets logged for each module and transactions per day for each module. For example, some customers
(particularly in the government) have Purchasing and Logistics-related activities as two separate teams. If
the exact team structure for the support team is copied, it would require SAP MM consultants in both
teams. In this case, it is wise to combine both teams and have a single team with the MM consultant who
had knowledge transfer from both teams. All Finance-related teams like Purchasing, Logistics, Controlling,
Sales and Distribution can be covered under one common head.
For non-core modules, where the tickets are generally fewer, particularly in the government bodies, must
be given additional responsibility. PM consultants can also act as team leads, take on other responsibilities
like audit coordinator or get involved in other core modules like Production Planning or Materials
Management.
There are a few SAP modules where fewer tickets are generated. Therefore, SERVICE PROVIDER should
identify these consultants for cross-module training expertise at the early stages for better utilization of
Primary Support Staff.
