The Challenges
Clarks needed to increase its SAP development quality and efficiency to reduce the risk of SAP system downtime, to keep up with business demands and not losing out on market opportunities.

Our Solution - ActiveControl
With limited IT resources, any new system needed to have minimal impact on business as usual operations and go in very smoothly. The implementation and go-live of ActiveControl was completed within a week.
ActiveControl automates Clarks’s SAP change and release management process which reduces the reliance on manual tasks and the risk of transport errors. The software ensures that changes going into production are of highest quality, being properly tested right from the start. The changes are analyzed and sequenced, flagging any potential conflicts which reduces the risk of system downtime, which would have a severe impact on the business.
In addition, the SAP development is more efficient, with less re-keying and manual processes, freeing up the SAP team to work on more business value-adding projects, enabling the company to respond faster to market opportunities.
