Customer Case Study - Using Automatic Conflict Detection

Customer Comments

"Transport Express also has very good tools for producing reports over what transports have been transported to what systems during a time period."

Ann-Marie Lidzén

Transport & System Landscape Management Manager

Vattenfall

"Excellent tool, very easy to implement, once organization is in place, and has aided our Release Management process immensely. Without Transport Express we would be in great pain, especially when we get to cut-over activities."

Davesh Sharma

"Before Transport Express we were in a quagmire of emails and red-tape. To get anything through to Production involved at least 10 emails to various people plus filling out Excel spreadsheets which were attached to each email. We had little control and no visibility. Auditing was a nightmare because everything was email based "

Parag Shah

Head of Basis Administration

Genentech

"The overtaking warnings we get from Transport Express help prevent us moving European changes through to production before EU go-live."

Hasbro

"On a scale from 1 to 10 , I would say 11... I strongly recommend other companies to use Transport Express."

Vattenfall

"Everyone here is happy with the tool. It’s easy to use and reliable - the Basis guys like it, the developers like it an the business users like it. We originally compared Transport Express to Newmerix (iWave) and SAP Solution Manager CHARM. Transport Express was by far the simplest interface for users and also the most robust, as it is based on ABAP. "

"It´s easy to handle, it gives a brilliant overview, it´s easy to add or remove systems from the Transport path."

"We decided to use Transport Express due to its conflict and over and under take detection. The ability to merge multiple requests from previous development systems into single requests further helped us to significantly reduce the overall volume of change."

"We have moved 1600 transports through Transport Express in the last year."

Multi-Track Assisted Merge - 5 System Landscape

Transport Express supports multiple parallel development environments, commonly known as 5 System Landscape, so Business As Usual and multiple project systems can be managed alongside each other.

Due to the conflict detection capabilities no object level locking between development systems is required therefore allowing a greater capability for change with no change freezes at project go-lives.

All environments can be automatically aligned using the Transport Express merge process where the changes across environments can be assessed and managed.

This can allow your Business As Usual changes to be retrofitted into all project systems so project level testing includes the latest production changes thereby reducing regression situations when projects go-live.

Basis Technologies have been supporting customers globally to achieve dual/multi track development environments since 2003. For an in-depth understanding we have a whitepaper on Managing Branched SAP Development or contact us today to talk to a Transport Express expert..
