SAP Solution: Empirius

Something essential for SAP customers is sovereignty and control over SAP systems, all with a reliable basis. Thankfully, a good deal has been achieved with SAP Basis automation over the past 20 years. What influence do SAP's cloud strategy and Rise have? Empirius Head of Technology Marcus Bogenstätter explains.

Demand-driven SAP deployment depends to a large extent on a well-oiled SAP infrastructure. The focus here is on the SAP basis and the tasks to be performed.

With S/4, SAP is not only getting the Hana database, but also a new basic concept. It took a long time, too long for some existing SAP customers, for SAP managers to agree on a concept for consolidating the Z namespace and the purchased applications.

Infrastructure challenges were and are high for SAP Basis managers and employees in companies. Targeted automation solutions are in fact the only way to get a grip on the many tasks and activities.

Competence Centers (CC) have established themselves over the years in companies that rely on SAP and SAP solutions. The topics and activities that CC managers and CC teams have to deal with are diverse and sometimes challenging.

Smart automation software for SAP Basis is increasingly providing beneficial support for many, especially recurring, tasks and activities. The productivity gains are significant.

The days of user interfaces, Graphical User Interface, based on Microsoft Dotnet have long been numbered. Newer SAP add-on solutions are almost without exception equipped with Web GUI technologies.

The SAP infrastructure is largely responsible for whether and how SAP application software runs. A number of parameters and data can change influentially practically on a daily basis. The use of a central system management framework helps several times over.

NTT Data Business Solutions has restructured the management of system copies on the basis of a standard system copy environment. This achieves several benefits.

At this year's DSAG annual congress, the automation specialist Empirius will present numerous further developments around the broad automation offering in the SAP Basis area, from which SAP customers will sustainably benefit. The focus is on the automation suite called EPOS.

In order to be able to steadily increase the level of automation in the SAP Basis area, the company Leonhard Kurz from Fürth uses a new system management suite solution.

It is in large part thanks to its community that SAP was able to advance to a world market leader in business software. It’s high time to give back.
