Key Takeaways

⇨ Large organizations with intricate SAP environments face challenges in maintaining and updating their systems due to limited resources and complex processes. Continuous updates are crucial for success, but scheduling and completing them require careful planning.

⇨ Implementing REALTECH's Transport Management module significantly reduces manual effort, minimizes the risk of system failures caused by unchecked transports, and ensures higher security and data quality through built-in quality checks and compliance transparency.

⇨ The module simplifies the transport management process by centralizing it on a single screen, allowing for easy monitoring and approval of transports. This results in cost and time savings for IT teams and enables them to focus on more strategic tasks.

Organizations today see the value of continuously maintaining and updating their SAP systems to set them up for success. However, this is not always readily done as large organizations contain highly complex SAP environments that must require careful planning to schedule and complete updates, all with limited resource availability. As the complexity of SAP systems increases, it makes relying on solutions that can help facilitate these changes more useful.

REALTECH looks to address this issue with the SmartChange Transport Management module that allows companies to transport changes to target systems without impacting the availability of SAP applications.

The Transport Management module handles distribution of transports with automation and synchronization based on preset target paths, accounting for any release and approval workflows. In addition, the module contains an integrated reporting environment that provides comprehensive insights and enables automated change tracking that is documented for completing audit trails. This module is centralized on a single screen which allows users to monitor and approve transports easily.

This solution is certified for use with SAP S/4HANA, and it can enable SAP users to conduct Transport Management procedures efficiently and accurately with built-in quality checks. Users can check for pre-determined critical objects, dependencies, and overlapping objects in different transport requests using collision checks. Similarly, transports can also be verified for completeness before they are imported into the target system to make sure that the target system or transport request contains the necessary objects required for the migration.

“It makes life so much easier for us. Since its introduction, the manual effort involved in distributing software has dropped … to near zero. At the same time, we have been able to minimize the risk of system failures caused by unchecked SAP transports,” said Jürgen Wagner, SAP Administrator, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG when talking about SmartChange Transport Management.

Any large SAP environment can benefit from a more efficient transport management process that reduces the time, cost, and risk involved in this process. IT teams can spend less time coordinating, checking transports, and documenting changes, since all these steps are automated. Users also benefit from higher security and data quality with the incorporated quality assurance procedures in the Transport Management module, which also provides complete transparency to meet compliance requirements.
