Software must be put through its paces before it is put into operation. The quality of the tests is crucial, because those who carry out good tests find errors early on, thus reducing development costs and improving software performance.

Many companies are still deciding on an ERP transformation. For various reasons, the majority of SAP customers seem to be in favor of the new SAP technology, while the decision-making process for new customers is more complex.

SolMan is getting its time in the spotlight: SAP has positioned it as the central integration engine of the Business Transformation Suite (BTS). But what exactly is BTS all about?

Once SAP SolMan is in use, "Make a wish" begins - but possibly even before that. From a consultant's perspective, you then hear questions like, "Can Solution Manager...?" How do we deal with that?

Tidying up, creating order, backing up old data sets - How can you cleverly approach the topic of data archiving and data backup in SAP Solution Manager?

Whereas dashboards used to be a bit of a red rag in SolMan, today Focused Insights offers a really usable set of pre-built dashboards that take advantage of SolMan's entire data set.

SAP is used in many companies, but is not integrated into the IT infrastructure monitoring system. This article shows how open technologies can be used for this purpose and how integration into a comprehensive IT monitoring system can be achieved.
