SAP Solution Manager

SAP Solution Manager is a multipurpose tool for managing your entire IT system architecture. For all of the phases in the application lifecycle, it offers a range of corresponding functions, starting with the collection of requirements and the preparation of a draft (Requirements Management, Solution Documentation and SAP Portfolio and Project Management), proceeding to implementation and testing (Test Suite and Change Request Management) the application, and on to the monitoring and optimisation of your solution during operations (IT Service Management, Applications Operations – and more).

In the process, all the information is stored centrally in SAP Solution Manager (‘single source of truth’) and is available for use by all other tools. SAP Solution Manager really comes into its own when used in conjunction with SAP systems such as SAP S/4HANA. Custom Code Management lets you monitor the quality of customer-specific development work and apply targeted optimisations. In Change Request Management, SAP Solution Manager takes responsibility for all transport control, and ensures that all systems are consistent, even in complex system landscapes.

Business Case:

Since SAP Solution Manager can provide automated support for a wide range of IT processes, we help you to navigate the decision-making stage. Here, deployment is crucially dependent on the company’s digitalisation strategy and its IT department as a resource. With the business case, we provide decision-makers with dependable information about the functions in Solution Manager that appear to be advisable from the company’s perspective, and we then consider these in the context of potential costs and risks.

We help you to make sure you identify the right functional deployment. Working together, we make a realistic estimate of the risks and costs of potential deployment scenarios, and then use your requirements to plan the design and implementation of the optimal solution.
