The Challenge

CONITAS commissioned SNP to upgrade SAP Solution Manager 7.1 to 7.2 for the VBL. This main project carried out based on the findings from the preliminary evaluation project, which was also conducted by SNP. The release upgrade was necessary as Solution Manager 7.1 was no longer being maintained. The project lasted 12 months, but the time frame for the actual upgrade was very short. A delay would have compromised the go-live and therefore the functionality of the platform.The release upgrade paved the way to make more efficient use of the existing enhancements for test management and the implementation methodology for S/4HANA in SAP Solution Manager. Following the evaluation phase, the main project included the basic technical configuration of SAP Solution Manager 7.2 as well as the implementation and configuration of test management and test automation, process management, solution documentation and incident management, among other things.The upgrade and go-live went smoothly within the tight time frame of only a few days. VBL and CONITAS are now all set for the migration to the latest ALM platform, which is S/4HANA.
