STIHL
Cost savings by automating all software changes
Since 2002, REALTECH’s Transport Management is in use at ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG. The SAP add-on, which can be implemented quickly and is easy to handle, automates all software changes within a complex, heterogeneous, multinational SAP landscape. This has not only led to direct and ongoing cost savings, but also to more efficient, transparent and secure SAP operations, both immediately and in the long term. Stephan Walter, IT Basic Technology Team at STIHL: “We can look back on a very good collaboration with short communication lines. Specific adjustments can also always be implemented quickly. We are continuing to rely on SmartChange Transport Management from REALTECH in our current SAP transformation process as well.”

Relieve of the SAP Basis teams by automated processes
“For several three-tier ABAP system landscapes, we have been using the Transport Manager (TM) for years”, explains Polina Klibanova, SAP Basis Administrator at C&A Services. “With the conversion to SAP S/4HANA, we wanted to connect the new systems to the TM as well.” The advantages are obvious: automated processes relieve the SAP Basis teams, overtakers and collisions are avoided, while all transports are traceable and documented in an audit-proof manner.
