SAP Updates SAP Solution Manager

SAP AG will open up enterprise application management beyond SAP solutions with the 7.1 release of SAP Solution Manager, its premier application management solution. The first major update in more than four years will make the tool a one-stop shop for total application life-cycle management by offering control mechanisms for both SAP and non-SAP environments.

SAP Solution Manager 7.1 will offer companies one management platform for their entire portfolio of SAP solutions, cutting through the complexities of a multi-vendor technology stack. Management tools for designing, graphical blueprinting, testing, configuring, deploying, monitoring and operating will integrate into the platform with oversight over SAP and non-SAP technologies. It will remove the need for customers to buy separate management tools native to that software while also better utilising any pre-existing management tools, cementing interoperability and data integration throughout. The new user interface will be more intuitive, making SAP Solution Manager even easier to implement and operate.
