SAP-Solution: Application Lifecycle Management

But while SAP is celebrating the digital transformation with S/4 at one pole, existing customers are trying to keep the IT infrastructure and ERP architecture running at the other pole.
There are currently two currents in the SAP community. At one pole is SAP with many business innovations, at the other end the existing customers and partners with IT tools to harden infrastructure and ERP architecture, a bipolar challenge.
Testing is an essential component across the entire ALM. But only those who integrate continuous testing into the DevOps pipeline can deliver updates quickly enough - how do companies best achieve test automation?
The term "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" describes something that "has only advantages, satisfies all needs, meets all requirements". According to SAP, SolMan is exactly that: the solution for (almost) everything. Do customers also get along with it?
SAP Activate is a new implementation framework for the S/4 Hana business suite. The new Activate method replaces two previous methods for S/4 - the Asap-on-premise method and the Launch-Cloud method.
New legal regulations were the external reason for the decor specialist Impress to switch from IBM DB2 to Hana. With mobile applications, for example for BANF releases, and by using the intuitive SAP Fiori apps, the existing IT landscape is now being optimized and further developed.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
