Frequently Asked Questions
What does a best-of-breed approach look like in practice?
It means combining specialized tools that excel in their respective areas – for example, ServiceNow for ITSM, Jira for agile project management, and Rev-Trac for SAP change automation. Together, these create a flexible, future-proof IT ecosystem.
How do I know if a best-of-breed strategy is right for my organization?
Best-of-breed strategies are particularly valuable for large enterprises with complex, interconnected SAP and non-SAP environments. If your business requires strict compliance, tight integration with enterprise ITSM/DevOps tools, or advanced SAP change management, best-of-breed is likely the best fit.
How does Rev-Trac integrate with other ITSM or DevOps tools like Jira and ServiceNow?
Rev-Trac offers certified, out-of-the-box integrations with Jira and ServiceNow. This allows SAP change requests to align seamlessly with enterprise-wide workflows, providing full lifecycle visibility and governance without manual workarounds.
What advanced capabilities does Rev-Trac provide that aren’t available in Cloud ALM or ChaRM?
Key capabilities include automated retrofit for dual maintenance, key level cross-system object locking, integrated safety checks, and comprehensive audit trails. These are critical for enterprises with large-scale SAP environments and compliance requirements.
How does Rev-Trac support future SAP strategies like S/4HANA and SAP BTP adoption?
Rev-Trac unifies change across on-premises, hybrid, and Cloud landscapes. Whether you’re migrating to S/4HANA, adopting SAP BTP, or managing both, Rev-Trac ensures consistency, control, and auditability throughout your journey.
Will implementing Rev-Trac add complexity to my SAP landscape?
No. Rev-Trac is designed to simplify change management. It acts as a central hub for SAP change, connecting with your existing tools and streamlining processes across environments, rather than introducing new silos.
What is the typical timeline to implement Rev-Trac as part of a best-of-breed strategy?
Timelines vary depending on landscape complexity and chosen integrations, but many organizations achieve initial value in weeks. Rev-Trac’s modular approach allows you to start small and scale over time, minimizing disruption while delivering quick wins.
