Moving to a Unified SAP Change Management Process Can Lower Operational Costs by 70%

In the past, SAP-driven businesses had no choice but to manage and maintain two distinct change management processes, one for SAP and a second for the rest of IT infrastructure. The lack of viable alternatives drove up IT operational costs, limited sharing of best practices and made quarterly SOX and HIPAA audits a manual, risk-prone process that consumed critical Basis employee resources.

Today, Global 1000 customers rely on iWave Software’s Transport Manager to provide a tightly coupled, automated and compliant change and transport management process. Transport Manager closes the loop on change by adding the required controls and visibility, embedding ITIL-based process automation and providing a detailed, audit trail, all orchestrated from within your existing IT service desk.
