We’ve simplified SAP change control.
Automated SAP change control resources for almost any business.
Just before the recent SAPPHIRE conference, SAP quietly announced the “beta” availability of a new Cloud-based Transport Management System which is supposed to be similar to CTS+. Since it’s still in beta, it’s hard to determine exactly how it will work. However, SAP states that it will support a wide variety of content and many different types of target environments.
Apple started a revolution with the concept of an app on the first iPhone. It has been interesting to see the impact it has had on different organizations’ product evolution.
When I turned on my first iPhone, I was confused. The phone function is just an app now. How does it get the same amount of real estate as the calendar? A different app for messaging and another for Internet – this was revolutionary.
Lately, almost every SAP IT team member I speak to is telling me that their organization has a digital transformation strategy. Things like DevOps, Agile and Continuous Delivery are top of mind. However, many are still grappling with ways to increase change velocity, maintain quality and deliver at the rate business demands.
Recently, Rev-Trac announced it won’t charge additional license fees for integration to 3rd party applications like ServiceNow, HP, ALM etc. Also, customers on the current 7.x version of Rev-Trac can leverage the value of our SALT application without the burden of additional license costs.
Our customers sometimes amaze me – in a good way. Many organizations have been kicking around the agile, DevOps and continuous delivery phrases for some time now, but we haven’t seen very many execute on their plans.

I’ve been briefing analysts these last few weeks, primarily those in the ALM, DevOps or ITSM practice areas. It’s an exercise I really enjoy. Not only does it offer an opportunity to find out what is top of mind for analysts (i.e. customers) but it also helps validate our approach to businesses and organizations.
I’ve worked specifically in SAP change management for more years than I care to mention, and one thing I’ve heard repeatedly is the need for a reliable method of checking inter-object dependencies between transports.
It’s hard to believe, but the SAP COE has been around for more than 21 years. SAP COE’s started around the same time that Rev-Trac did and it’s safe to say that they began for many of the same reasons. That is – in general – to help SAP customers reduce the cost of operations, provide a required level of governance and continually improve SAP processes.
A frequent exercise for many SAP organizations is to refresh SAP QA Systems from Production. This ensures that suitable and up-to-date data is available for testing. With testing becoming increasingly important the need to refresh QA Systems is also on the rise.
When it comes to managing SAP changes, things are beginning to look different for SAP IT teams. Building a DevOps capability is becoming important.
Reflecting the need to provide steady state, stable SAP enterprise systems, things like control, governance, cost reduction and stability have been important for SAP IT teams for a long time.
