Managed service

We don't manage tickets. We retire them.

Automation-led operations for SAP BTP. Across apps, integration, AI — and the platform underneath. Designed to get quieter over time.

Why managed service needs to change

Managed services aren't built to reduce work.
We are.

Most managed services are designed around response. Tickets logged. SLAs reported. The same incident handled faster every month.

We work the other way.

Every event in our queue runs through the same assessment: will it happen again, can the response be automated safely, and is the automation worth building. The operation improves as it runs — and recurring work is either automated, assisted, documented, deliberately accepted, or eliminated entirely.

The method

Every event runs the same loop.

Detect, diagnose, classify, decide, automate, operate, learn. Then back to the start with a quieter queue.

At Classify

Three questions.

  1. Will it happen again? Frequency, pattern, blast radius.
  2. Can the response be automated safely? Signal clarity, action safety, reversibility.
  3. Is the automation worth building? Cost of recurrence vs cost of the remediation.

At Decide

Five outcomes.

  1. Auto-remediate. Safe, repeatable, reversible — without a human.
  2. Assist. Automation prepares the fix; a Beta engineer approves or executes.
  3. Runbook. Documented; never handled from cold.
  4. Accept. Closed, logged, moved on.
  5. Eliminate. Cause engineered out at the source — the event class stops happening.

The five outcomes

Auto-remediate. Assist. Runbook.
Accept. Eliminate.

Codified automation does the predictable work. Beta engineers do the judgement work. Four outcomes route the event in front of you. A fifth removes the event class behind it.

  • Auto-remediate

    Safe, repeatable, reversible.

    Safe, repeatable, reversible fixes execute without a human. Restarts, retries, replays, renewals.

  • Assist

    Automation + human approval.

    Automation prepares the fix. A Beta engineer — still the expert in the room — approves or executes. Production-impacting changes, anything with reversibility risk.

  • Runbook

    Documented, never cold.

    Documented and never handled from cold again. Patterns that recur but where the right action varies by context.

  • Accept

    Closed, logged, moved on.

    Genuinely novel, vendor-side, business-process, or not worth automating. Closed, logged, moved on.

+1 OutcomeEmerges from the Learn step

Eliminate

The cause is gone, not just handled.

Engineering the event out at the source. Where it is in Beta's control we fix it; where it is not, we surface the recommendation and escalate. The fifth outcome doesn't handle the symptom — it removes the underlying pattern from the operation entirely.

The surfaces

Three pillars. One platform underneath.

The same loop runs across every surface where events happen.

What runs the loop

SAP-native. Hyperscaler-native.
Beta-native.

The service runs on three layers of tooling. Named, not hidden.

  • SAP-native
    SAP Cloud ALM for monitoring context, alert handling and operations automation triggers. SAP Automation Pilot for SAP-side remediation flows — restarts, replays, renewals, runbook execution.
  • Hyperscaler-native
    Event capture, observability, workflow execution and safe remediation patterns across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Used where SAP-native tooling stops short.
  • Beta-native
    The classification engine, the value-scoring model and the remediation library. The IP that applies the loop consistently across events, surfaces and customers.

What changes over time

The events keep coming.
The work shifts.

The volume of events stays roughly constant across the lifetime of an engagement. What shifts is who does the work. As patterns get classified, automated, eliminated and embedded, the loop does more — and your team does less of the repetitive parts.

  • Phase 1

    Stabilise

    First months.

    Most events still need hands-on investigation. The loop classifies them, builds the first runbooks, and identifies the highest-value automation candidates.

  • Phase 2

    Retire recurrence

    Through the first year.

    Auto-remediation grows. Runbooks cover the rest. Engineering work starts to eliminate the worst recurring causes at the source.

  • Phase 3

    Compound

    Beyond.

    Most events route to auto-remediate or runbook. Human attention concentrates on what actually needs it — the novel, the ambiguous, the judgement calls.

How work shifts as the loop maturesA matrix of five outcomes by three phases. Event volume is shown as filled tokens against each outcome row in each phase. In Phase 1 — Stabilise — most events land in Runbook with some Assist work, a small amount of Auto-remediation and Elimination, and one Accept slot. By Phase 3 — Compound — Eliminate and Auto-remediate dominate while Assist and Runbook each retain a single token of human attention and Accept remains a single slot. The shift is the proposition: same volume, different split.EliminateEngineered out at sourceAuto-remediateMachine-led executionAssistAutomation + human sign-offRunbookDocumented human effortAcceptClosed, Logged, Can't/Won't AutomatePhase 1StabiliseFirst monthsPhase 2Retire recurrenceThrough the first yearPhase 3CompoundBeyond

Illustrative mix. Actual distributions vary by surface, customer, and engagement.

The limits

Some things need a human.

Genuinely novel incidents. Business judgement. Vendor-side failures we can't reach into. High-risk changes where the cost of being wrong outweighs the cost of waiting. Ambiguous data issues where the right response depends on context only your team has.

Automation is not the goal. The right response is.

How to start

Three ways in.

Use whenBeta built it

Build + Run

Continuity from delivery.

Beta built the app, integration or AI workload. We stay close to what we built. Design context carries into operations. No handover gap.

Use whenYou have an existing BTP landscape

Onboard + Run

The standard entry point.

You have an existing SAP BTP landscape. We assess the landscape, baseline recurring noise, establish monitoring and start the retirement loop. The first quiet quarter starts here.

Co-pilot

Without replacing what works.

You have an internal support team or an existing SI relationship. We run the automation and improvement layer alongside your team. Recurrence reduces without ownership changing.
