UC4 Launches UC4 Automated System Copy for Use with SAP® Solutions
Drives time and cost of procedure down by 90 percent
BELLEVUE, WA & VIENNA, AUSTRIA, October 12, 2009 – UC4 Software, a leading provider of Intelligent Service Automation and IT process optimization solutions, today announced the availability of UC4 Automated System Copy™, a new solution in support of SAP® solutions that enables users to automate the system copy procedure related to SAP solutions. Today’s announcement was made at SAP TechEd 2009 Vienna, where UC4 is exhibiting in booth 2.07.
An SAP software solution partner with solutions certified by SAP, UC4 is now helping to automate the system copy procedure, which is performed periodically to give business users an up-to-date copy of the production environment aligned with quality assurance measures.
A typical company may copy their system one to two times a month, which involves manual steps. UC4 Automated System Copy reduces the manual time involved, allowing companies to regain up to a week of productivity a month.
With UC4, system copy can be planned and executed in a parallel mode and manual intervention is kept to a minimum, allowing daily work to continue as normal, saving valuable time, reducing errors, freeing up resources, and providing efficient and consistent non-productive systems.
For example, the BDLS transaction that is used to convert the logical system name can take days. UC4 Automated System Copy reduces that time to a few hours by reading the table information and converting them in parallel processing.
Through the use of UC4’s automation solution, users can benefit from increased accountability with central administration and monitoring, and notification of completed processes. It also enables administrators to schedule workloads across multiple instances of SAP solutions from a single point of control and create reusable system copies, further reducing time and costs. ”Making a system copy can be a manually intensive process, and traditional enterprise job schedulers don’t offer any way to automate the process,” said Fred Kohout, chief marketing officer, UC4. “We’ve developed this new solution, which simplifies the process and reduces errors associated with manual tasks in order to help customers gain even greater value from their SAP solution-based systems.”
“As organizations examine their workflow, they will see that automation provides increased value in helping increase productivity and performance of current tasks,” said Andi Mann, vice president of research at EMA. “UC4’s real-time solutions are a precursor to how organizations must work, moving forward, to find success.”
