Managing Hybrid Solutions

Application Lifecycle Management best practices

More and more customers move to the cloud and use Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. But they continue to operate business applications deployed on-premise or at hyperscalers as well. Their IT solutions are hybrid.

Application Lifecycle Management is an important topic for hybrid solutions. Both worlds (cloud and on-premise) have to be brought together. We have received many questions already on how to do this best.

To scale the knowledge transfer, SAP decided to collect best practices into a series of whitepapers to be published here.
