With the upcoming version 7.1 SAP leaves no doubts about its strategy on Solution

Global roll out and template management in 7.1 - Being able to adapt business process to changing economics and market situations is of growing importance to each type of organization. SAP Business Process Library - In the area of Business Process Management a (common) SAP Business Process Library will be one of the most significant changes in version 7.1. Not only will this new, central 'process library' be the foundation for all process related functionalities in Solution Manager, it also

will be shared as a common base for NetWeaver BPM, SAP ECC, SAP PI,
Enterprise Repository Services etc. Advanced ChaRM integration in 7.1 - Change Request Management (ChaRM) will be significantly improved and extended in version 7.1.

Functionalities of SAP Solution Manager 7.1


Business Process Management in 7.1 - The growing importance of Business Process Management & Monitoring for almost every organization will definitely be reflected in Solution Manager 7.1. Version 7.1 promises a number of significant changes on the BPM area. Service Desk in 7.1: the new ITSM - The full integration between Solution Manager 7.1 and CRM ITSM leads to a new user interface for both Service

Desk and Change Request Management (ChaRM). Not only will the CRM
based UI become the main interface for all service processes in Solution Manager, also different (ITIL based) roles will get their own, different UI. Enhanced Business Blueprint in 7.1 - The Business Blueprint functionality has been part of Solution Manager for a long time and is considered to be a very valuable functionality. However, one of the disadvantages in the current version is the lack of both a graphical user interface and modeling

capabilities. Therefore SAP introduces a new, graphical interface for Business


Blueprint through the RCP client. This new feature enables an easy, intuitive way of modeling and configuring business blueprints in Solution Manager.

to the customizing of these service processes.

Desk and Change Request Management will


use a complete new set of CRM transaction

types in version 7.1.
