Redwood Software, provider of infrastructure automation solutions, today announced that Westland Helicopters Ltd. has chosen Cronacle to manage its SAP® background processing. Cronacle is Redwood’s flagship process management and job scheduling solution that integrates seamlessly with SAP to manage all SAP batch workload.
Westland is a major SAP customer using most R/3 modules in addition to the Business Warehouse and Document Management System products. The company required a job scheduling solution to ensure that its critical processing, within its SAP environment, completed as efficiently as possible.
With Cronacle, Westland has chosen a robust, scalable job scheduling solution to manage all of its SAP and non-SAP processing in an efficient automated manner. Cronacle dramatically improves SAP automation efforts, by managing background tasks and aligning business with IT processes. Redwood Software is a member of the SAP Software Partner Programme and Cronacle, is also mySAP. com certified. Redwood enjoys a healthy partnership with SAP and continues to work with SAP in exploring ways that both companies can bring extra value to their customers.
Richard Cranton, IT Services Manager at Westland Helicopters, explains: “Redwood’s professional approach to our issues proved that Cronacle could meet our requirements and offer additional benefits due to its close integration with SAP. Our SAP financial month-end processing has to be completed within 4 working days. If any job errors factor into the equation, then the delays are unacceptable for our Finance Managers. With Cronacle, we can dramatically improve the way in which we manage our SAP background workload. The system runs more efficiently with jobs running in parallel and dependent jobs starting as soon as preceding ones have completed, and the Finance team get their critical information on time.”
