At Foulk Consulting, we specialize in transforming complex SAP landscapes into streamlined, efficient, and high-performing environments. This case study highlights how we partnered with a leading U.S. food-processing company to enhance their SAP DevOps strategy.
The Client: A leading U.S. food-processing company.
The Challenge:
The client recently refocused its IT strategy on SAP DevOps, aiming to boost efficiency, flexibility, and operational stability. A key objective was to seamlessly integrate their major strategic SAP IT factory tools onto a single platform. Specifically, they needed to connect Azure DevOps with their SAP landscape to manage numerous transports, link them to sprint cycles, and incorporate test-proof documentation. This presented a significant hurdle in achieving their desired level of agile and reliable SAP development and deployment.
The Solution:
Foulk Consulting stepped in to architect and deploy a robust solution. We established a crucial bi-directional linkage between Azure DevOps (ADO) and SAP ChaRM (Change Request Management). To ensure comprehensive and reliable testing, we integrated Tricentis Tosca assets. This involved creating a dedicated repository for each ADO cycle, allowing specific tests to be automatically pulled and included in each pipeline cycle. This meticulous approach guaranteed that every ChaRM asset deployed to the test environment was thoroughly vetted before progressing further.
The Result:
A robust and ongoing linkage between ADO and SAP ChaRM was successfully achieved, providing a stable foundation for the client’s DevOps ambitions. This solution has enabled the client to expand towards a more deployment-based approach for their SAP changes. The benefits extend beyond regular release cycles, proving equally effective for managing urgent break-fix scenarios. This has significantly improved their agility, control over SAP changes, and overall operational stability.
