Heidelberg-based SAP applications software and services provider SNP AG, previewed its yet-to-be-released cloud-based discovery solution, CrystalBridge at SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando, Florida last week, providing a sneak peek at the visualisation capabilities coming soon for planning SAP S/4HANA and other business transformations.
Built on the SNP Transformation Backbone, CrystalBridge will provide a full repository of SAP object attributes rendered in navigable and reporting formats. The intent of the product is to optimise IT leaders’ planning efforts by providing access to critical information for customising, organisation hierarchies and object usage, as well as enabling organisations to compare different systems for harmonisation.
“SNP’s CrystalBridge is essential for planning SAP S/4HANA transformations,” said Dr Steele Arbeeny, CTO, SNP.
“With its comprehensive, x-ray visibility into SAP installations, regardless of size and complexity, companies can build accurate blueprints easily – without burning months of manual effort. Most importantly, projects can be planned in detail and estimated with greater predictability, helping to ensure a successful outcome.”
SNP previewed its service for migrating customer SAP environments to SAP Business Suite on HANA test environments. This turnkey service will enable customers to accelerate their migration from non-Unicode and non-Linux platforms to HANA in the AWS Cloud.
SNP demonstrations included a range of migration scenarios including SAP S/4HANA, cloud, and heterogeneous re-platforming, as well as scenarios for business entity divestitures, mergers and systems consolidations.
SNP solutions and software automate the merging of previously-separate IT environments, support M&A projects and carve-outs, and promote the expansion into new product markets.
