SAP Cloud ALM consulting and implementation

SAP Cloud ALM by Intelecta

From technical visibility to intelligent control of your SAP ecosystem.

Visibility and control for an evolving SAP ecosystem.

The challenge

Fragmented monitoring, limited visibility.

Alerts arriving through different channels, integrations that fail unnoticed until the business feels it, critical processes without end-to-end tracking, and lifecycle tools that do not keep pace with the move to the cloud.

The turning point

More cloud and more integrations call for a new way to see operations.

As the landscape adds SAP S/4HANA, SAP BTP and cloud services, monitoring approaches designed for isolated systems are no longer enough.

What SAP Cloud ALM is

SAP's platform for managing the lifecycle of your solutions.

SAP Cloud ALM is SAP's solution, built on SAP BTP, for managing the implementation and operation of enterprise solutions. It is designed for cloud-centric landscapes; on-premise components are covered to varying degrees depending on the scenario.

Implementation project management
Requirements and testing
Change deployment
Health monitoring
Integration & exception monitoring
Business process monitoring
Job & automation monitoring
Real & synthetic user monitoring

These are standard SAP capabilities. Their availability depends on the components in your landscape and the current release of the solution, so we check them against SAP's official documentation on every project. What Intelecta brings is the professional services to evaluate, configure and adopt them.

FAQ

What we are often asked about SAP Cloud ALM.

SAP does not sell it as a standalone license: usage rights are tied to certain SAP contracts, such as cloud subscriptions or support agreements. Actual availability depends on your contractual terms with SAP, so it is worth checking at the start; we help you review it during the assessment.

SAP Cloud ALM is designed for cloud-centric solutions such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP BTP and other SAP cloud services. On-premise components can be covered to varying degrees depending on the scenario. We confirm this against current official documentation when we analyze your landscape.

With our ALM5 methodology: we enable, validate, support adoption, prioritize new use cases and evolve how it is used. If you would rather start with a controlled scope, Quick Start covers the priority capabilities.

Depending on components and configuration: the health of systems and services, integrations and exceptions, business processes, jobs and automations, and real and synthetic user experience. We define with you which scenarios add the most value.

Under RISE with SAP, SAP takes on certain technical responsibilities according to the contract. SAP Cloud ALM can provide visibility over the components in scope, and Intelecta helps you configure and make the most of it. We do not deliver services that SAP takes on within RISE: we work on what falls to your organization.

SAP Cloud ALM is an SAP solution; SAP Control Tower is a managed governance service from Intelecta. The tool provides information; the service turns it into follow-up, governance and decisions. They are independent and complementary.

ALM5 is our full five-stage methodology for adopting SAP Cloud ALM. Quick Start is a focused-scope service that applies a reduced version of that approach to enable the priority capabilities.
