Requesting an SAP Solution Manager 7.1 service

SAP Solution Manager is a central support and system management suite. An SAP system landscape may have a large number of installed SAP and non-SAP systems. SAP Solution Manager reduces and centralizes the management of these systems. In such a landscape, SAP Solution Manager is the managing system, and the business suite applications (for example: ERP, CRM, BI, and EP) are the managed systems.

SAP Solution Manager helps in implementing and managing complex system landscapes. Globally, systems are distributed across geographies and business processes cover more than one system. In such complex scenarios, integrating technical and business requirements is important for the success of IT. SAP Solution Manager provides SAP customers with an efficient means of managing both the technical and business process side of solution implementation.
