SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) can transform how SAP-using organizations build, extend, and integrate applications. BTP provides a foundation for future-proofing your SAP environment, accelerating digital transformation, supporting a Clean Core approach, building Cloud applications, and driving innovation.
As SAP landscapes become more hybrid and distributed, managing change becomes increasingly complex. You now have change in two places – on-premises and in the Cloud. In this scenario, manual processes, diverse tools, and inconsistent processes can put business continuity and compliance at risk.
This blog explores how Rev-Trac Platinum, an advanced SAP change management solution, enables you to harness SAP BTP’s potential while maintaining control and ensuring efficient, secure changes with minimal disruption.
Here are three reasons to use Rev-Trac to simplify SAP BTP change management.
- Centralized control across SAP BTP and on-premises systems
Change processes are tightly controlled in most SAP environments, and for good reason. Well-defined and enforced processes help minimize risk and preserve system stability. However, as organizations adopt SAP BTP, a new challenge emerges: inconsistent workflows across on-premises and Cloud environments, which can impact the reliability and integrity of implementing the change.
Rev-Trac answers this challenge by enabling you to manage BTP and on-premises through a single request. With Rev-Trac, you get a central control point for all change, enforcing processes and facilitating approvals across technologies in a single workload. SAP teams can work fluidly across hybrid landscapes without additional manual tracking.
You can manage BTP transports using Rev-Trac’s integration with SAP Cloud Management Transport Service (CTMS). CTMS handles the technical movement of the transport, while Rev-Trac enforces governance and control on the import process.
Centralizing control with Rev-Trac enables you to reduce manual effort and ensure that changes are delivered safely, reliably, and quickly, regardless of whether they originate in the Cloud or on-premises.
2. Unified governance for a hybrid SAP landscape
Managing SAP BTP change can quickly become complex, particularly when multiple systems, teams, and dependencies are involved. This is where Rev-Trac’s configurable workflows come into play.
With Rev-Trac, you can configure automated workflows to simplify transport management, reduce the (potentially costly) risk of human error, and ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements. It brings automation, governance, and accountability into a unified workflow that can be applied to your SAP hybrid landscape.
Deploying consistent workflows – integrating core capabilities like automated transport path approvals, defined target systems, and enforced access controls – ensures changes move seamlessly and safely across your landscape. Only authorized individuals can approve changes to production, giving you peace of mind that your policies are being followed.
3. Full visibility and hassle-free audits
Complete visibility into your change process is crucial, whether managing SAP BTP or on-premises change. This insight enables teams to identify issues earlier, minimize unexpected downtime, and deploy changes more efficiently.
Rev-Trac provides end-to-end transparency into every change. You can see exactly who made a change, when it was approved, and how it was deployed. From initiation to production, every action is logged in detail, helping to reduce the risk of lost or misclassified changes and minimizing the threat of unauthorized or rogue transports. You can be assured that every transport goes through a governed and compliant workflow to reach production.
With real-time tracking of approval and migration statuses, Rev-Trac makes it easy for teams to monitor progress in real-time as changes progress through your landscape. When it’s time for an audit, you’ll have a complete history of every change at your fingertips, making audits straightforward.
Bottom Line
As SAP landscapes become increasingly hybrid, managing change across BTP and on-prem environments presents new challenges. Rev-Trac Platinum simplifies SAP BTP change management by centralizing control, enforcing governance, and providing full visibility.
From automated and configurable workflows and unified transport migrations to real-time tracking and audit readiness, Rev-Trac helps SAP teams deliver safe, efficient, and compliant change across the entire landscape.
