We use Solution Manager and need to transition to Cloud ALM
The end of support for Solution Manager is here. Though extended support is available, SAP’s future direction is Cloud ALM. The path to Cloud ALM isn’t simple, especially for firms with transformation plans including hybrid architectures, Private Cloud ERP or intermediate steps before a fully Public Cloud ERP solution.
Understand the impact on SAP operations from end of support for Solution Manager, and options available to the transitioning enterprise.
We use Landscape Manager and must transition immediately
While Solution Manager and Focused Run users can exercise extended support for a longer transition period, SAP has announced a firm end of support for Landscape Manager in 2027.
Many customers use the automation capabilities of Lama for orchestrating landscape provisioning, system start/stop, refresh automation and backups.
We use Focused Run and monitor a complex SAP estate
Complex enterprises and managed service providers face motoring and operations challenges at a scale unique to these organizations. Focused Run was specifically designed for very large scale, multi-tenant operations.
While Cloud ALM has a Focused Run integration, it is intended and designed for the Cloud-centric customer, not the massive SAP enterprise with a complex mix of legacy on-premise, hybrid and cloud ERP concurrently.
