Ericsson Uses ActiveControl to Incorporate SAP into Their Larger CI/CD Pipeline
About Ericsson
For over 140 years, Ericsson has been delivering telecommunications technology and services to companies around the world. They employ around 100,000 people with offices in over 100 countries who use SAP’s CRM application to support their customer base. Driven by a need to respond quickly to changing market conditions and a desire to deliver more value to their customers faster, they embarked on a company-wide IT transformation to move to a continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) development model powered by agile and DevOps methodologies.
The Challenge
Ericsson needed to overcome three key limitations of SAP that prevented teams from adopting a DevOps approach: the standard built-in transport tool which required tedious manual effort, the inability to automatically deploy transports, and the complexity of managing multi-track development landscapes.
The Goal
The company sought to remove the silo around their SAP landscape and connect it with DevOps and CI/CD workflows employed across the rest of their IT applications.They wanted to adopt continuous delivery of change while ensuring that every release maintained coherency and integrity throughout the development lifecycle.
The Solution: ActiveControl
ActiveControl was selected to connect the SAP landscape with the automated cross-application CI/CD process. By providing a native integration with their open-source platform, it allows the central DevOps orchestration program to trigger deployments in SAP along with other applications. It also gives Ericsson complete visibility of the development process by integrating SAP into their agile management tool.
