John Deere Uses ActiveControl to Achieve an Agile SAP Transformation

About John Deere
John Deere has been a global leader in providing advanced products, technology, and services to the agriculture industry for over 180 years. They employ over 75,000 people with thousands of active users across their SAP landscape. Several core SAP applications drive critical processes including order management, manufacturing, and more.
The Challenge
In 2019, John Deere began an enterprise-wide agile transformation across their global IT team. As the the rest of their landscape began to deliver value faster through agile development, SAP lagged behind. The company needed a way to align SAP with their broader agile environment to deliver high quality change more quickly.
The Goal
The company sought a tool that would help them integrate SAP with the DevOps tools already in use across the rest of their IT landscape. Building a fully integrated DevOps pipeline would enable more effective collaboration with product owners and business stakeholders and allow the company to deliver value to customers more quickly.
The Solution: ActiveControl
With DevOps for SAP John Deere was able to build a fully automated, end-to-end change management workflow, which included connecting SAP to their broader DevOps toolchain. They were able to replace manual processes with automation to streamline transport sequencing, approvals, deployments, document management, and more. As a result, the company has increased visibility, productivity and efficiency across its software delivery landscape.
