CTS Manager – Quick Introduction

SAP look and feel, Easy to install, No downtime required.

Objective is to simplify system monitoring and system health check
processes. By having quick and efficient health checks in place,
organization can reduce TCO and increase ROI.

CTS Manager addresses 3 critical Basis/Security area pain points –
 CTS

System Health and monitoring

User Maintenance

CTS Manager also provides a utility desk.

It also provides a sub-tree where organizations can add their favorite
transactions, so that

CTS Manager – Value Proposition
Business Value
Cost Reduction
 Quck analysis utilities reduce manual
search/ analysis time by 60-70 %
 Auto monitoring will improve response time
 Clearing analysis will help identifying
obsolete objects. Less objects means less
time to manage.
 Transport sequence activity time will be
reduced by 40-50% during copy back/
support pack / upgrade.
 Auto queue build and import functionality
will reduce migration time by 70% and will
improve import accuracy by 95%
 Dashboard will help in monitoring system
resources at one place will reduce activities
monitoring time by 20 %.
 Preventive process will ensure no issues
after transport import due to object
dependency .
 Process improvement by giving insight on
dumps, BDC, IDOC and other ignored areas
 By provide auto monitoring email notification
on critical system activities, response time
will be reduced.
Design & Usability
 SAP look and feel requires no major learning
curve.
 Aging data details eliminate chances of
accidently processing business critical data
which eliminates hours/weeks of
analysis/clearing work.
 Easy to install / implement / customize.
 SAP Standard authorization concept used .
 No modification to any SAP standard object
hence no effect during upgrade.
