|
(ORLANDO, Fla., May 11) Leading provider of SAP upgrade automation tools PanayaTM today announced the availability of its new SAP Support Package automation product at the SAPPHIRE Orlando conference. Support packages are software updates released by SAP that include problem fixes. SAP customers need to install them to ensure the smooth operation, regulatory compliance, and security of their SAP systems. However, support packages also pose a risk, as they may conflict with existing system customizations and disrupt business processes. As a result, implementing support packages require a significant testing effort, to the point that SAP users often defer the installation of support packages to reduce the burden of testing. Panaya offers the first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that helps SAP system managers significantly reduce the risk, duration, and costs involved in support package implementations in a complex ERP environment.

Delivered in a Software-as-a-Service model, Panaya's solution can be set up in less than 20 minutes.

"We are proud to introduce a quick and easy-to-use solution to such a complex problem." Panaya's Support Package Automation solution utilizes the same core technology that has been proven to help numerous SAP customers eliminate up to 50% of their upgrade efforts by using Panaya's Upgrade Automation solution. Panaya will be demonstrating its latest upgrade and support package automation products and conducting scheduled education sessions in booth #357 at this week's SAPPHIRE 2009 show in Orlando, May 11-14.
