REALTECH SmartChange

SAP ChaRM replacement after SolMan

Quick to start

Flexible hybrid

Fully integrated

With SmartChange, REALTECH offers a comprehensive solution for change and transport management in accordance with ChaRM – including documentation, retrofit, and optional ChaRM data migration. This ensures you are fully prepared for the end of maintenance in 2027.

Don’t copy SolMan. Simplify SAP changes.

The end of SolMan is no reason to replicate the complexity that has built up in ChaRM. SmartChange focuses on what is still needed in day-to-day SAP operations: changes, transports, approvals, quality, and documentation.

ChaRM challenges

Old SolMan complexity

  • Complex process logic
  • High maintenance and customization costs
  • Heavy reliant on SolMan structures
  • Data silos in modern ITSM systems
  • Tedious workflows

SmartChange

Less complexity. More control.

  • Focus on SAP Change and Transport Management
  • Automated transport control
  • Flexible Workflows und Freigaben
  • Integration with Jira, ServiceNow, and Freshservice
  • Transparent documentation and auditability

In contrast to SolMan ChaRM, the REALTECH software, which has also greatly simplified the release/approval process for us, is small, fine, and flexible.

How switching to SmartChange makes a difference.

SmartChange offers a clear successor to ChaRM-based change and transport processes – without continuing to use Solution Manager or simply replicating the old complexity.

Here's what you'll gain

Automate SAP Changes

Manage changes, transports, approvals, and documentation all within a single process.

Simplify retrofitting

Synchronize changes across multiple SAP system lines in a controlled manner.

Keep it flexible with hybrid

Bring together on-premises, cloud, and hybrid SAP environments into a single change management process.

Reduce complexity

Simplify existing ChaRM structures rather than replicating them exactly.

Keep up with compliance

Keep documentation, approvals, and supporting evidence traceable and audit-ready.

Integrate ITSM tools

Connect SAP Changes to Jira, ServiceNow, or Freshservice.

That's what you leave behind

SolMan dependency

Continue with SAP Change Management without tying your processes to SolMan in the long term.

High operating costs

Less customization, less custom logic, and less effort required for operation and adjustments.

Manual coordination

Manage approvals, statuses, and shipping information centrally. No need to track them separately.

If you still need historical ChaRM Change Documents, REALTECH can help you back up this data for use after SAP Solution Manager.
