Impact analysis results are ranked by order of importance and displayed in a drillable, detailed, and visual format, designed for business analysts without programming knowledge. With Panaya, IT departments reduce customization errors, prevent system downtime, enable efficient test scoping, accelerate time to market, and reduce the cost of implementing, maintaining, and upgrading SAP solution-based systems. Panaya’s on-demand (Software as a Service) architecture provides customers with practically zero time-to-value, clear and controllable ROI, a cash-flow-friendly subscription payment model, and has no overhead on IT resources.

 Panaya 1.0 has achieved SAP Certified Integration status as an SAP ABAP® Add-on for Release 4.60. This deployment has been tested and certified by the SAP Integration and Certification Center.

 Yossi Cohen, CEO and founder of Panaya, says, "With Panaya, business professionals, IT departments, system integrators and consultants can gain better visibility, understanding and control of their SAP solution-based systems. Attaining SAP certified integration is part of our strategy to build support for SAP solutions and to ensure that our products are configured according to both SAP and Panaya best practices."

-Panaya is a stand-alone application which integrates with SAP solution-based systems. Third-party ABAP Add-ons like Panaya 1.0 that have passed the syntactic and semantic checks that are part of the SAP ABAP Add-on certification requirements are eligible to receive certification through the SAP Integration and Certification Center.
