3. Introduction of “alm360 Data Manager”: Our add-on for SAP Cloud ALM for more added value and quick wins
4. Strengthening ALM Operations through our new TechOps division

Let’s take a closer look at how these initiatives increase the value of ALM for your company.

Helping Customers Transition to SAP Cloud ALM with Our ALM Assessment 

As SAP continues its shift towards the cloud, organizations must migrate from legacy ALM solutions, such as SAP Solution Manager, to SAP Cloud ALM. This transition is critical for businesses looking to remain competitive and leverage the latest ALM functionalities. However, moving to SAP Cloud ALM requires strategic planning and alignment with business goals. 

To facilitate this transition, we have developed a standardized ALM Assessment that helps organizations evaluate their current ALM setup, identify gaps, and build a structured roadmap for migration. Our assessment covers key aspects such as: 

• Current ALM Landscape Analysis: Understanding the organization’s existing ALM strategy and tools. 
• Readiness Evaluation: Identifying technical and process-related gaps that may impact the move to SAP Cloud ALM. 
• Roadmap Development: Providing a clear, step-by-step plan for transitioning to SAP Cloud ALM with minimal disruption. 
• Business Case Development: Helping organizations justify the investment and benefits of SAP Cloud ALM. 

By offering a standardized yet flexible approach, we ensure that businesses of all sizes can smoothly transition to SAP Cloud ALM while maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk. 

Customized Business Transformation with alm360 Hub Integration 

In today’s fast-changing digital landscape, businesses need more than just a technical migration—they require a holistic business transformation strategy that aligns technology with business objectives. This is where our alm360 Hub Integration Engine comes into play. 

The alm360 Hub is designed to connect SAP Cloud ALM and SAP Solution Manager with various business applications, providing a seamless data flow across enterprise systems. Our customized business transformation suite powered by alm360 Hub enables organizations to: 

• Automate and streamline ALM processes: Reduce manual efforts and enhance efficiency across different SAP landscapes.

By leveraging alm360 Hub, organizations can accelerate their digital transformation journey while maintaining control over their ALM processes, ultimately leading to higher operational efficiency and business agility. 

Introducing alm360 Data Manager: Our First Proprietary Software Product 

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first fully proprietary software product, alm360 Data Manager. This solution is designed to help organizations efficiently manage their own ALM data in both SAP Cloud ALM and SAP Solution Manager. 

Data management is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of ALM. Poorly managed data can lead to inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and compliance risks. alm360 Data Manager addresses these challenges by providing a structured approach to data governance, including: 

• Centralized Data Management: Backup and restore your data entities such as requirements, tasks and documents.  
• Enhanced Data Quality: Improve data accuracy, consistency, and integrity across ALM systems.

With alm360 Data Manager, businesses can take full control of their ALM data, ensuring that their transition to SAP Cloud ALM is smooth and that their ALM processes remain well-structured and efficient.

2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for blue.works and our customers. As we continue to drive innovation in ALM, our mission remains clear: to provide businesses with the tools and strategies they need to navigate their digital transformation with confidence. 

By standardizing the ALM transition process, integrating business applications for a seamless transformation journey, and launching our first proprietary software product, we are setting new benchmarks in ALM excellence.
