Solving the SAP® Application Performance and Quality Conundrum with Testing Solutions and Services
Before you launch an enterprise resource planning (ERP) upgrade – or roll out any other new SAP® functionality, for that matter – you need to iron all the bugs out. You undoubtedly understand the importance of end-user experience, driven in large part by product performance and robustness.
To ensure that the solution meets performance and quality expectations, you need to employ a rigorous and methodological testing procedure before the rollout or upgrade. That is why the SAP Consulting organization has developed a comprehensive, proven program of numerous testing solutions and services. By testing in advance, you can ensure robust product performance when it’s time to go live. SAP offers software and content to help validate the design and benchmark the application to exceed user performance expectations.
Business, Compliance, and Technology Drivers – Times They Are A-Changin’
Change comes in all forms: business drivers include mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, new business models and processes, and new product introductions. Compliance drivers – such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), governance, risk management, and industry norms and standards – foster regulatory change. Finally, technology drivers – such as upgrades to current software releases, migrations of operating systems or databases, application of patch fixes, and new functionality – require you to optimize your enterprise software for performance and test it rigorously.
