SAP Asset Tracking
Asset Tracking is the practice of understanding all the physical assets that a company has and tracking them. Examples of physical assets are generators, vehicles, computers, or other equipment. Most often this is done by a GPS tracking system, a bar code scanner or a RFID (radio-frequency identification device). Asset tracking is a good practice for all businesses, but it is becoming a necessity in some industries.
SAP asset tracking is part of Enterprise Asset Management with SAP Business Network for Asset Tracking.

Using Automation to Manage SAP Environments with IT-ConductorApr 10, 2024 — As organizations transition to the cloud, they often encounter challenges stemming from the limitations of existing workload automation strategies. These existing strategies can struggle to adapt to the increasing complexity of workload types, volumes, and locations driven by evolving business demands across hybrid environments. Without any form of centralized control, companies face roadblocks to growth because resources are poorly utilized, application performance suffers, and scalability becomes stunted.
IT-Conductor’s software-as-a-service SOAP offering provides organizations with advanced observability into complex application environments so they can better monitor, manage, and orchestrate enterprise IT. As a cloud-based service, IT-Conductor does not require any monitoring infrastructure, except for a locally installed IT-Conductor Gateway (proxy-service) securely on the network. The platform is delivered as a full-service model, offering workflow orchestration, event-driven automation, real-time monitoring and alerting, resource provisioning and deployment, seamless integration with existing systems, and extensibility through API integrations.
IT-Conductor delivers full-stack monitoring, management, and automation of SAP applications, providing a streamlined end-to-end management of an organization’s entire SAP landscape. Automated monitoring provides continuous insight into application health, allowing for more efficient troubleshooting. They also offer a business processing monitoring tool that establishes procedures and protocols for monitoring disruptions in business activities, with proactive alerts that mitigate problems.
When migrating databases and applications to the cloud, it is necessary to understand the source environment and go through a multi-stage process that includes generating a baseline configuration and performance, designing and developing a target infrastructure in the cloud, deploying application components in the target environment, and then validating the project’s success. IT-Conductor’s intelligent automation service is integrated into open standards, such as Git, Terraform, Ansible, Azure API, REST API, JSON, and native application protocols.
