LONDON & BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Basis Technologies, creators of the most complete DevOps and test automation platform engineered specifically for SAP systems, and smartShift Technologies, pioneers of automated SAP system transformation, today announced a partnership initiative that will enable SAP users to massively accelerate and de-risk SAP transformation projects, in particular migration to SAP’s latest technology platform, S/4HANA.
Organizations that employ the combination of ActiveControl, Basis Technologies’ market-leading automated SAP DevOps technology, and smartRetrofit, part of the smartShift Technologies’ Intelligent Automation methodology and tools, will benefit from fully automated ‘dual maintenance’ of ECC and S/4HANA systems – a complex, resource-intensive scenario that may last for years. This integrated, best practice approach results in faster, more cost-effective S/4HANA transitions that involve less manual effort, reduce the risk of disruption and provide full visibility to the business.
ActiveControl automates almost every aspect of the SAP change and release process – commonly reaching up to ninety-five percent – and can automatically, safely and efficiently deploy every relevant ECC change to S/4HANA systems. smartRetrofit takes the key role of automatically updating custom code to meet the technical requirements of S/4HANA while it is merged into the new systems. More than ninety percent can be remediated in this way without any end user intervention – a significant benefit given the typical cross-release dual maintenance challenge customers face.
“I’m delighted that we’re announcing this partnership between Basis Technologies and smartShift Technologies. I look forward to working together to help companies realize greater value from their investment in SAP and get to S/4HANA more quickly,” said Duncan Williamson, Chief Revenue Officer of Basis Technologies. “We continue to expand our global network of expert partners, and I’m very pleased to welcome smartShift Technologies into that family so that they can help us bring the significant benefits of SAP automation to more SAP users around the world.”
“Basis Technologies and smartShift join a common vision of bringing a DevOps mindset and automation to Enterprise IT,” said smartShift CEO Seth Henry. “With Basis Technologies we are now able to provide intelligent and complete retrofit support, especially in complex S/4HANA scenarios. Another great addition to our smartS4 solution, a simpler, safer, sooner and smarter way to modernize legacy SAP systems and run them efficiently in the cloud.”
