How does this benefit SAP customers using ServiceNow for change management?
As it stands now, the change management and release management for SAP customers using ServiceNow is maintained as separate broken workflows.
The change request creation, CAB approvals, compliance and documentation management are done using ServiceNow while the transport management is done with Solman or STMS.
It requires several manual updates coordination between both the teams to ensure compliance and audit requirements are met.
With ReleaseOwl Release Pipelines, SAP customers can setup orchestrated release and change management with SNOW change request creation and approvals brought into the pipeline itself ( Image attached )
