Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Publicis Sapient
Centralized governance has improved controlled SAP transports and supports complex global releases
Basis ActiveControl is a SaaS platform and a modern, cloud-enabled solution offering a marketplace that helps us with transportation management, such as moving transports safely and preventing missing or out-of-sequence transports. It also helps with release management, coordinating large SAP releases, and automating approvals. It assists with governance, quality, S/4HANA migration, multi-system management, and real-life scenarios. In my day-to-day work with Basis ActiveControl, it helps with deployment and has governance that we use before deploying to a higher environment. Basis ActiveControl has positively impacted my organization as there is no data loss. We can conduct our transportation quickly and effectively without the loss of any data packets since using Basis ActiveControl.
