Managing your SAP solution doesn't stop at go-live and neither do we. The UKISUG Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Community is your go-to destination for best practice, peer insight and expert guidance across the full SAP application lifecycle.
Hosted by SAP at Clockhouse Place, London this session is for you whether you're scoping a new implementation, optimising your existing SAP landscape or ensuring robust day-to-day operations, this community brings together SAP customers, partners and experts to help you get the very most from your investment.
Together, we explore three core areas:
Implementation — From solution planning and process design to testing, Change Request Management, SAP Solution Manager, Cloud ALM and Focused Build, discover how to deliver SAP projects with confidence and clarity.
Operations — Keep your SAP environment running at its best. Dive into best practice around SAP Support, Centre of Excellence (CoE), Focused Run, Focused Insights, monitoring, reporting, licence management and more.
Optimisation — Go beyond the basics and unlock greater business value. Explore Business Process Operations, analytics, Signavio, SAP LaMa, automation, quality and code management and real-world customer stories that inspire action.
With events, resources and a passionate network of peers who truly understand the challenges you face, this is where SAP knowledge becomes real-world results. Join the conversation and take your SAP ALM strategy to the next level.
