Why US-Based SAP Basis Support Matters for Your Business

For US corporations running SAP systems, the stakes are high. Your SAP environment powers critical operations—finance, supply chain, HR—and any misstep in administration can lead to costly disruptions. One often-overlooked factor? Where your Basis support team is located. At 1st Basis Consulting, we believe that US-based support isn’t just a preference—it’s a strategic advantage. Here’s why.

The Risks of Offshore SAP Basis Support

When you outsource SAP Basis administration offshore, you’re not just handing over technical tasks—you’re potentially exposing sensitive data to risks beyond your control. A 2024 article from Pathlock highlights that ransomware attacks targeting SAP systems surged 400% in 2023, often exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party or offshore setups where data security controls are lax. For companies subject to regulations like ITAR or HIPAA, offshore support can also mean compliance headaches, as data leaving US borders may violate strict legal standards.

Beyond security, offshore teams can introduce operational friction. Time zone differences delay issue resolution, and communication gaps can frustrate IT leadership. For mid-level IT managers and C-suite executives, these risks translate into lost productivity and heightened exposure.
