Change is constant in today’s business landscape. From minor system updates to major business transformations like mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and product line expansions, any change needs to be supported by a detailed strategy and IT systems have to be modified to support these transformations. The SAP landscape, in particular, has to be updated and must be in alignment to efficiently accommodate business upgrades.

ActiveControl, from Basis Technologies, helps navigate the complexities of SAP landscapes, efficiently overcoming the challenges that slow down progress. By automating and providing governance around change processes, the solution facilitates collaboration among cross-functional teams, ensuring that changes are implemented smoothly. ActiveControl’s rules engine enforces compliance with organizational policies, streamlines processes, and minimizes downtime, while maintaining business continuity.

The increased visibility provided by ActiveControl allows organizations to take control of change management across the enterprise. Real-time monitoring capabilities enable the tracking of change initiatives, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing workflows. This level of transparency fosters improved communication and collaboration among teams, supporting a culture of continuous improvement and operational efficiency.

Preventing failures is a priority with ActiveControl, which utilizes real-time insights to enhance change management strategies. It supports data-driven decision-making, mitigating risks during and after deployment. Additionally, the Backout functionality offers a safety measure, allowing reversion to a previous state if necessary, safeguarding critical systems.

“I wanted to bring SAP up to speed with modern software development. ActiveControl has been a critical part of this mission, making sure our talented teammates can get to the projects that deliver the greatest value, while protecting our critical business systems from costly human error,” said Dave Webb, SAP Development Lead, Watches of Switzerland.

Basis Technologies recently helped a leading developer & supplier of subsystems and components in the semiconductor manufacturing industry to navigate their global expansion and acquisitions. The company had manual SAP change processes, limiting their ability to scale their SAP landscape. Automation through ActiveControl accelerated the delivery of change for the client by removing manual effort and associated risk, enabling the business to safely deploy innovation on demand to support the business’ growth. The technology also prepared the company to effortlessly scale their SAP environment to add additional landscapes and applications during acquisitions.

ActiveControl’s Merge functionality helped them manage and synchronize multiple development tracks so they could safely and efficiently consolidate their many separate ERP landscapes into a unified environment, creating a more agile organization. Companies interested in simplifying SAP landscape modifications to support their business transformation can make use of Basis’ ActiveControl.
