SAP Solution Manager is a Swiss Army knife for your entire organization. It aides the planning, design and deployment of projects, harmonizes your IT infrastructure with your business processes, monitors system help, and serves as a link to the SAP support portal. Solution Manager has grown up with SAP ERP, and the most recent version — SAP Solution Manager 7.2 — has been rebuilt, with added functionality for HANA. With Solution Manager 7.1 maintenance support reaching its end of life in December, it’s important for organizations to implement 7.2 before that moment to avoid any issues. Join this live webinar to learn the benefits of 7.2 as well as: • The most efficient path for your organization to go from 7.1 to 7.2 • New reporting, analysis and documentation features available in Solution Manager 7.2 • How to get the most out of SAP Solution Manager
