2015 ASUG Annual Conference


Come to Orlando to network and obtain the latest information about SAP Solution Manager 7.1, along with the vision and experience sharing about the next release, SAP Solution Manager 7.2, and what it means to all ASUG members, to efficiently manage IT and introduce new functionality to meet business requirements.

Why is this important? Technology complexity is a result of the overwhelming amount of hardware and applications that a company has to manage. This is a problem that will only get worse as companies struggle to deal with the complexity of managing ever-increasing volumes of data in the future.  Also, due to various project approaches and fragmented tools, crucial information is lost in the media breaks between the tools leading to high consequential costs for continuous improvement and maintenance.  In an increasingly complex world, simplicity breeds success, which is why companies with new business models - the applications on SAP HANA to transform business processes - focused on simplicity are winning in the market place.  Simplicity not only drives customer value, it also drives revenue growth and shareholder value as it frees up room for innovation. SAP is committed to help our customers adopt our Run Simple operating principle and SAP Solution Manager is all about “efficiency and simplicity”, and tackling complexity by leveraging the Run and Build SAP like a Factory approaches. 

For years SAP Solution Manager has been a huge differentiator to help customers gain efficiencies and control operations with capabilities such as Root Cause Analysis, Technical and Business Process Monitoring, Change Control and IT Service Management. Beyond our second-to-none know-how in operations, planned with the next release, SAP Solution Manager 7.2, we are expanding into designing, deploying, and implementing software solutions. Of course, SAP Solution Manager can today orchestrate the entire lifecycle.  The new approach with SAP Solution Manager goes beyond the current release, provide one fully integrated infrastructure, from design to operations, which ensures the single source of truth and one-stop platform to enable customer businesses to build and run end-to-end solutions for the future.
