AMS should protect the platform — and keep improving it

AMS is often sold as a support queue. Tickets in, tickets out. The platform gradually drifts, release notes pile up, and by year three the system is quietly worse than when it went live.

We run AMS differently. Fortnightly reviews keep operational issues visible. Half-yearly release workshops take SAP's innovation and turn it into planned uplift, not reactive compliance. QBRs give leadership genuine visibility — not a ticket-volume dashboard.

The headline isn't the SLA. It's that the platform is measurably better every year, and the people running it know why.
