SAP systems handle mission-critical and accounting-relevant processes within your business while having to comply with ever increasing requirements regarding consistency, transparency, and traceability of processes and data. Changes to these systems often entail risks that could bring your entire business to a halt. These risks, however, can be minimized through high standards of quality and security in change management. Secure transports thus play a central role in SAP environments. They ensure that changes are transferred to production operation where they contribute to day-to-day business.

theGuard! TransportManager is an easy-to-use software solution for the automated distribution of program and data modifications in ABAP and Java applications within your SAP systems. Authorization concepts and workflows tailored to your individual needs control the secure transport of changes into distributed SAP system landscapes.

With theGuard! TransportManager, overtakers (incorrectly transmitted or erroneously overwritten data objects) are a thing of the past. It also helps companies drastically reduce quality assurance overhead and costs that might be caused by disaster recovery procedures. Furthermore, collisions or the transport of unwanted changes into mission-critical productive systems will no longer be a headache.
theGuard! TransportManager is fully integrated with SAP, eliminating to spend additional money on hardware. Its convenient operation within the familiar SAP environment guarantees rapid implementation and acceptance among users and administrators.

theGuard! TransportManager allows companies working with SAP NetWeaver to synchronously distribute ABAP and non-ABAP objects that are logically interdependent in heterogeneous NetWeaver system landscapes. The management of the related transports is consistent and is realized using shared workflow monitoring.
The underlying solution is based on SAP's Enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+) introduced by SAP for SAP NetWeaver 2004s that homogenizes different stand-alone solutions in the field of SAP software logistics.

The TransportManager authorization concept for the approval of transports and its comprehensive documentation comply with the specific requirements set by auditors, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the German Banking Act (KWG). The internal control system required under new regulations is thus optimally supported in the field of SAP change management.

In October 2005, theGuard! TransportManager was reviewed and successfully approved by Ernst & Young.
