7. DevOps for SAP means to intelligently modify
best practices and methods and adapt them to
today's requirements.
“Optimization for speed vs. optimization by cost”
“Fast reaction on market requests vs. slow by design”

8. IN THE WAKE OF DIGITIZATION, SAP SYSTEMS MUST BECOME
MORE AGILE, FLEXIBLE AND FASTER

conditions at any time.
 Development and Operations work together closely
are more agile – with each other but also with
customers and departments
 Anticipating and shaping necessary changes in
the business
 Collaboration, lean processes and automation tools
enable short development and release intervals as
well as communication routes
 Bring changes quickly and safely into production  Integration and automation across all phases of
change and release management
= DevOps achieves faster market reactions and thus more sales potential
