Walldorf, 25 September 2001. – REALTECH AG, the leading provider of Technology Consulting, Software and complex e-Business Hosting solutions and SAP AG have strengthened their strategic and global cooperation in the areas of Technology and Research and Development. The cooperation focuses on the early and optimal integration of REALTECH's System Management Solutions with mySAP solutions. SAP customers are able to take even better advantage of the high-availability and high-performance of their SAP systems by using the theGuard! product family to monitor their SAP landscapes. REALTECH AG will become an SAP "Global Technology Partner."
The increasingly complex IT systems require a variety of different components that have to be optimally tuned to each other in order to run smoothly. For IT managers, getting the best error free performance out of the components is a challenge. “This is where our product strategy comes in: It considerably reduces the administration effort. Companies that are able to rely on the error-free operation of their IT systems save time and money,” explains Rainer Schmidt, COO at REALTECH AG. “Moreover, our management solutions are not only quickly implemented, they can also be used in every IT landscape.”
theGuard! family of products and the SAP-specific software solutions InterfaceManager (IM/3) and TransportManager are geared towards preventing downtime by recognizing system errors at an early stage. This functionality comes especially into play in mySAP.com's open, flexible and cross-company service architecture, which supports both SAP and third party systems.
In addition to the Support partnership that was signed in February, the Technology cooperation is yet another step towards providing mySAP.com customers with all-encompassing consulting services. As part of the cooperation, REALTECH is the only worldwide “Global Alliance Partner Support,” who, together with SAP AG, plans, supports and validates the technical implementation of mySAP solutions. The cooperation will focus mainly on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Business Intelligence (BI). “The years of experience in Technology Consulting, be it in conventional R/3 consulting or in the new mySAP.com components, flow directly into the development of our software solutions,” confirms Rainer Schmidt.
