Documentation management

The purpose of documenting is to ensure transparency of IT solutions required for efficient IT operations. For example, IT Organizations may want to:

  • Acquire a concrete documentation based on the actual use of transactions in SAP®?
  • Effectively detect potential impacts of changes and developments?
  • Quickly determine the functional test cases and the most critical scenarios to unfold?
  • Have an updated documentation strategy to achieve a functional deployment (ex: a new logistics platform...) or a technical upgrade? With its expertise Inventy helps you run SAP® at a lower cost and detect a potential for improving your business processes on documentation.

Documentation of business processes is a fundamental pillar in the use of SAP® Solution Manager, because constitutes a prerequisite and is then reused for many scenarios (ITSM/ChaRM, Testing, BPI,…).

BENEFITS FOR IT:

  • Efficiency for time management and maintenance with automatic and regular collection of landscape data
  • Better knowledge sharing with all functional departments through a central access and integration of the technical landscape with documentation of business processes
  • A basis for the monitoring of business processes and systems

BENEFITS FOR THE BUSINESS:

  • Compliance to standards
  • A centralized and reliable structure and documentation of business processes as the basis for current projects
  • Reuse of materials to reduce the cost of improvement testing, optimization and adaptation

Process documentation in Solution Documentation involves several stages:

  • Identification of gaps between the documentation and the actual use of your processes / objects
  • Complementing your solution
  • The conclusion of a project that can be used as a centralized document database reference

THIS APPROACH IS BASED ON 3 TOOLS: BUSINESS BLUEPRINT, RBPD AND SODOCA

Business Blueprint: Business Blueprint: A tool for creating documentation of the solution or project in SAP® Solution Manager (transactions, specific developments, programs, test cases...).

RBPD (Reverse Business Process Documentation) : retro-documentation tool which analyzes the actual use of SAP® systems by comparing them with SAP® reference structures standards.

SoDocA (Solution Documentation Assistant): continuous quality verification of your documentation. Identify scenarios, business processes and process phases or unused technical objects (transaction types, programs...).
