BMC’s Control-M Delivers Simplified Management
for SAP® Workloads

Control-M extends support to SAP S/4HANA® to improve digital
enterprise agility

SINGAPORE— November 9,
2016 — BMC, the
global leader in IT solutions for the digital enterprise, today announced
innovations designed to help companies faced with an increasing list of
applications and platforms that need to be managed and integrated with their
SAP® ecosystem. Control-M, the market-leading application workload automation
platform from BMC, now features support for SAP S/4HANA® and SAP Financial
Closing cockpit (FCc.) By delivering the key capabilities necessary to drive
SAP across the enterprise, BMC’s Control-M for SAP solution automates the SAP
workloads at the core of business operations around the world.

“Control-M is at the
intersection of infrastructure, data, and applications, and we continue to
develop innovations that improve the experience for our Control-M customers,”
said Gur Steif, president, Workload Automation at BMC. “These new capabilities
ensure that Control-M can support our customers’ SAP environment today and in
the future with simplified and automated management.”

“Control-M provides
Eaton with outstanding uptime and helps us do business in over 170 countries
worldwide,” said Larry E. Hicks, manager, data center services, IT
infrastructure, Eaton. “Our major ERP Systems are SAP, Oracle, and MFGPRO. We
are very pleased with the Control-M performance and ability to be a single
workload automation solution. We would also acknowledge the BMC support for
newer technologies such as SAP S/4HANA, Oracle R12, Managed File Transfer, Web
Service Client, and Hadoop. We are confident Control-M will be able to support
our environment as we move forward.”

By adding support for
SAP Financial Closing cockpit, customers can reduce the amount of manual effort
and streamline their month-end closing. With the addition of SAP S/4HANA
support, the Control-M for SAP solution extends its capability to automate and
manage SAP application workloads to the next generation SAP platform. These new
features build upon existing support for SAP BusinessObjects™, SAP R/3®, SAP
Process Integration, SAP Business Warehouse, and SAP Data Archiving. 

With BMC’s Control-M
solution, organizations can integrate SAP HANA® workflows with a wide range of
applications in the SAP portfolio, like Concur and Fieldglass, through a single
point of control. The Control-M solution also allows organizations to schedule
and manage SAP services according to business priorities. Slowdowns and
failures are detected with predictive analytics and intelligent monitoring of
SAP workflows, before service delivery is interrupted.

The new Control-M for
SAP features are the latest in a series of enhancements to BMC’s digital
enterprise automation solutions. In September 2016, BMC announced new Control-M
features including capabilities for more unified, highly-efficient file transfer,
optimized rapid cloud deployment for AWS and Azure, and a new Automation API
with expanded ‘Jobs-as-Code’ capabilities for DevOps teams.
