After the meeting with Alexander, Paula realizes that this is also valid for SAP Cloud ALM.
- SAP Cloud ALM is a cloud product. Therefore, general cloud benefits apply to it. For example, it is always available.
- The business experiences zero downtime. SAP, as the provider, takes care of that.
- It is always up to date. Again, as the provider, SAP takes care on it. SAP achieves that with continuous deployment: As soon as a functionality is developed, tested, and ready, it is deployed. Also, you can experience new functionalities on a two-weekly basis. Error fixing can even deploy daily.
- How does Paula know when these new functionalities are available? Here, Alexander answers that SAP provides a feature called What's New. Customers can find What's New as an announcement tile in the app itself.
- In addition, the team from Dreams without Limits can access SAP Cloud ALM from anywhere, they have unlimited scalability for maximum efficiency, and no IT maintenance costs. SAP Cloud ALM fair usage rights are included in their SAP Enterprise Support, cloud editions, contract.
