    Business Needs

    Due to an ongoing spread of distributed systems and dependencies of businessprocesses beyond

    single system boundaries the need for a new efficient support infrastructure is required.

    Integration aspects coering technical as well as business !applications" needs of these

    heterogeneous enironments are more crucial than eer and need to be mastered perfectly.

    #oftware change management has to be ta$en into consideration including all aspects of single

    component upgrade and release strategies as well as the deelopment and the modification ofstandard scenarios.

    %inimi&ation of potential ris$s during operations and early establishment of operation concepts is

    the $ey in order to aoid unforeseen financial inestments and to lower the operation cost to a

    minimum.
