IntelliCorp and smartShift Announce, at SAP TechEd, Automated ABAP Custom Code Remediation Capabilities

SANTA CLARA, California -

- Partnership Reduces Time, Resources, Risks of SAP ALM

IntelliCorp, a worldwide provider of application lifecycle management (ALM), business process and data management software for SAP users, today announced a partnership with smartShift, the leading international provider of solutions for the tool-based modernization of complex IT systems, at SAP TechEd in Phoenix (booth #406). Combined with IntelliCorp’s unique intelligent impact analysis products, smartShift for SAP automates ABAP custom code remediation, significantly reducing project duration, resources, risks and costs of SAP ALM.

“smartShift for SAP plays a pivotal role in IntelliCorp’s partner strategy by providing automatic custom code remediation capabilities to joint SAP customers when used with our LiveCompare, LiveModel and DataWorks products,” said Christopher Trueman, CTO for IntelliCorp. “With the practical application of automated impact analysis software, SAP customers quickly improve ALM efficiency, while reducing TCO.”

Upgrade and Unicode Conversions of Custom SAP Applications Made Easy

Companies are pressed to maximize investments by expanding the use of SAP’s product portfolio and lower escalating maintenance fees. Forward thinking SAP customers are including within that strategy the selection of software that has a tangible positive impact on SAP ALM, from improving day-to-day SAP operations to accelerating upgrades, resulting in direct technical/functional improvements, reduced ALM complexity and overall savings.

“SAP customers can automate more than 90 percent of ABAP custom code remediation during upgrade and Unicode projects when combining IntelliCorp’s products with smartShift for SAP,” explained Thomas Iseler, EVP Americas & global marketing for smartShift. “Streamlining that critical element of SAP ALM activities reduces the difficulty of ABAP custom code conversions, limits development downtime to just a few days, improves testing and empowers IT to produce higher quality on-budget/on-time projects.”

smartShift also offers solution packages for runtime stability, maintainability, security, performance and coding standards to reduce overall TCO.

Executives from IntelliCorp and smartShift will be available at IntelliCorp’s SAP TechEd booth #406 October 13-16. Contact Christopher Trueman during the event at +44-7799-763-294 to schedule a demo.
