Safeguarding Your Business

ERP (SAP)

Your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is key to the smooth running of your business, integrating internal and external management information and enabling functions across your entire organisation. It is important to keep abreast of system upgrades to avoid poor performance and downtime that will bring your operations and productivity to a grinding halt.

We understand the catastrophic effect that this level of disruption can have on your business. Service outages or process failure can damage your reputation, brand and competitiveness, as well as your productivity. Staying one step ahead and predicting the consequences of change is therefore vital and thorough testing is needed before any updates or upgrades are implemented.

However, we also know that SAP testing and upgrading has the potential to be costly and risky, consuming a major share of your overall IT budget. Whilst ERP is an intrinsic and critical element of business operations, ongoing support for the current SAP system – R/3 – is no longer guaranteed and upgrades are frequently required due to changes, such as legal requirements. An additional challenge is that ERP is extremely complex with heavily customised and unique upgrades that require bespoke testing. In the past, there has been a lack of understanding of exactly where potential problems may arise and this has led to a high volume of testing activity, which is both costly and time consuming.

Assuring the predictable outcome of changeSteria RightTest ERP (SAP) allows you to forecast any potential issues by pinpointing the areas of your system that need testing. This vastly improves the efficiency of your team and reduces the risk and cost normally associated with ERP upgrades by:

• reducing the need for exhaustive testing and maintenance

• guaranteeing service quality by identifying and robustly testing all critical code

• simplifying upgrades, updates and versioning

• improving business agility by speeding up the software release cycle

• supporting and accelerating migration from SAP R/3 to ECC6.

The Right ExperienceOur extensive SAP expertise has enabled us to ensure that RightTest ERP is a unique and fully flexible ‘pay per use’ platform. We have industrialised the SAP testing process, reducing cost and risk and accelerating implementation. The innovative RightTest ERP portfolio incorporates an extensive suite of testing services, as well as a powerful set of processes and reusable resources that combine the consistency of execution with the efficiency of built-in best practice.

We understand the need to align SAP testing with your business priorities. By adopting the advanced, industry-leading Panaya toolset we are in a position to provide in-depth testing that meets your required targets.
