Enterprise management software vendor BMC Software`s SAP-certified solutions for the administration, unified management of applications and management of information across heterogeneous platforms are now available locally from MGX. Recently certified solutions include PATROL for SAP, CONTROL-D for SAP and CONTROL-SA.
"The role of SAP is critical to many of our customers` businesses," says Reg Swart, GM of BMC at MGX. "These certifications prove that BMC is committed to delivering enterprise management solutions that will help reduce customers` costs and ensure significant competitive advantage."
Achieving the SAP certifications required BMC Software to expand its efforts to assure tight integration between mySAP infrastructure and management tools and its own solutions for managing storage, databases, platforms and performance across the enterprise.
Swart stresses that the development of these solutions is crucial to effectively managing the complex environment of enterprise applications from implementation right through to maintenance. This, he says, can now be done from a central point that hooks into all spheres and layers of the IT technology stack.
"The crux of effective infrastructure management is that all technologies in a single enterprise environment are inter-related. Managing SAP from only an application perspective makes it difficult to get a true perspective on the solution as a whole, constraining many benefits that could otherwise be realised," adds Christopher Jones, product manager for BMC Software South Africa.
"The partnership between BMC and SAP means that each vendor can deliver applications based on their strengths in their respective areas of software solution development and customers can focus on the business outcome they are looking for."
BMC Software SAP certified solutions from MGX now include:
* CONTROL-M for the MySAP.com e-business platform;
* CONTROL-M for SAP solutions;
* PATROL for SAP solutions - DB Maintain;
* CONTROL-D Option for SAP solutions; and
* PATROL for SAP solutions.
CONTROL-SA Agent for SAP solutions is also validated.
PATROL for SAP solutions improves system performance by providing real-time management of business critical processes, resources and users. The suite contains five products that integrate to help cut costs and ensure proactive administration of systems.
CONTROL-SA provides a unified management umbrella that enables automated, simplified management of all enterprise security systems from a central point. It streamlines management of access rights for a high volume of users and for disparate systems. CONTROL-D helps organisations manage critical information created on SAP solutions and other applications in the enterprise, across various platforms.
