Building Block 4: Integration Hubfor use with SAP Solution Manager

• We support driving E to E quality lifecycle completely out of Solution Manager

– Blue print, Requirements, Test Cases, Documentation, Incidents

– We use Incident Management inside SAP SolMan (realtime)

– We could do that the other way round out of Silk Central Test Manager back into Solution Manager (document changes would be realtime updated in the Doc Factory)

• Ease of setup by design – (“… when we spoke to SAP customers and consultants, they said a key improvement they wish to see is to lower the costs of integrating third party solutions” – so we built it !)

– Web based, intuitive, quick

• Test reporting templates out of the box integrated with SAP Solution Manager
