SAP application – not at all static
Applying service packs, meeting business department needs, ensuring the efficient operation of applications – SAP applications are not at all static. They require constant development work and must be adapted to changing business requirements. The complexity of SAP projects today results in a large number of change requests. These need to be managed from a single point of control and implemented in a secure and efficient manner. The challenge here is to integrate all changes into the overall release planning process and to develop, test, and verify the quality of these changes in the parallel systems. At the same time, the IT department is expect-ed to handle these processes as quickly and efficiently as possible.
