How Do You Improve Visibility Into Your SAP Landscape?

⇨ Thorough monitoring of systems must include both SAP and non-SAP information

⇨ Visualization and analysis are just as important as having tools in place for monitoring

⇨ Being able to combine monitoring data with business services and transaction data provides even greater insight

IT landscapes continue to increase in complexity. A decade ago, all the enterprise solutions that an organization used were probably from the same vendor and were running on local systems and infrastructure. Today, that environment has changed completely. Few organizations are using just one vendor for all their solutions. Some solutions may still be running on-premise while others are already leveraging cloud-based infrastructure. Gaining insight into these landscapes is complex, but without that insight it can be impossible to effectively manage your environment.

To address this challenge, organizations need to improve their monitoring capabilities. This can include leveraging existing capabilities in SAP solutions, such as SAP Solution Manager, or third party solutions that offer monitoring capabilities across both SAP and non-SAP solutions. But once you have data, visualizing that information is almost as important. That visualization must be available in a timely manner. SoftwareONE and Splunk are helping organizations address this challenge using a combination of SoftwareONE PowerConnect for SAP and Splunk Service Intelligence for SAP Solutions. These solutions, and others like them, work in combination to provide deeper insights than those available only using solutions like SAP Solution Manager.

In summary, these steps can help you when making plans to gain insight into your SAP solutions:
• Thorough monitoring of systems must include both SAP and non-SAP information.
• Visualization and analysis are just as important as having tools in place for monitoring.
• Being able to combine monitoring data with business services and transaction data provides even greater insight
