Cloud Applications

Cloud Applications Drive ComplexityFor SAP® companies, cloud offers a number of benefits such as faster deployment of new technologies and improved system performance. However, cloud-based systems also introduce a number of challenges: business processes frequently traverse the gamut of on-premise, public cloud and private cloud applications.

In this complex enviroment, critical business processes vulnerable to a single change causing a domino

disruption effect across multiple enterprise applications.

Companies turning to the cloud also face an unprecedented level of change as cloud apps are updated more frequently. With these applications, an organization has less control over the timing of software changes and where those software changes occur. The window to manage changes in the cloud - and across the enterprise - can be very short.

Automation Ensures Effective Management of the Hybrid Cloud

Automated Risk Management for the Cloud To mitigate technology risk and ensure success in a hybrid cloud enterprise landscape, companies need a way to validate the integrity of their end- to-end business processes at a rate that can keep pace with change. An automated validation approach enables a complete step-by-step check to automatically discover the business process, and then confirm that all underlying business functions and transactions are performing properly across every enterprise application and interface, including cloud apps. This is known as end-to-end business process discovery and validation and Worksoft provides the only software platform capable of doing this. With high levels of automation, companies can shorten cloud project timelines, reduce technology risk, and cut costs – no matter the complexity. Worksoft’s automated business process discovery and validation supports:

• SAP’s portfolio of cloud solutions, including SAP® Cloud for Customer, SAP Financial Cloud, SAP Procurement Cloud (Ariba Network),SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and more

• Non-SAP cloud applications, including Workday, Salesforce,ServiceNow, IBM Maximo and many others

• Custom built or customer-developed cloud applications

Worksoft Helps Companies:

• Validate the integrity of end-to-end business processes at a rate that can keep pace with changes and support hybrid cloud complexity

• Achieve successful initial migration to cloud-based applications andmanage business process quality in on-going operations to support along-term cloud strategy

• Ensure accurate system integration, configuration, and data flow tooptimize process performance

• Verify integration between cloud and non-cloud enterpriseapplications, and across both SAP and non-SAP systems

• Confirm that all underlying transactions are performing properly acrossthe cloud landscape

Let’s Get StartedIt’s entirely possible to mitigate the risk that comes with today’s hybrid cloud approach to enterprise systems. Companies can keep pace with frequent changes to a complex landscape, accelerate SAP cloud projects, improve efficiency, and reduce costs by automating end-to-end business process validation.
