Rev-Trac Case Study
This case study of Owens-Illinois, Inc. is based on a December 2018 survey of Rev-Trac customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.
“Rev-Trac is one of the few SAP tools that work right out of the box. The program, the support, the updates are all top notch and well done.”
With 78 plants in 23 countries, Owens-Illinois (O-I) is one of the world’s leading glass container manufacturer. The global business has more than a century of experience crafting sustainable, brand-building glass packaging for many renowned food and beverage brands.
To simplify SAP change management processes across its business, the glass packaging giant selected Rev-Trac — the SAP DevOps platform — to automate SAP change control tasks. Implementing an automated and enforced release management strategy would enable O-I to meet business expectations.
After deploying Rev-Trac to automate its SAP change management processes, O-I has successfully addressed a number of challenges across its SAP landscape.
Rev-Trac has enabled the company to increase the volume and velocity of SAP change while reducing the number of change-related production incidents within their SAP environment.
According to O-I, the Rev-Trac SAP DevOps platform is easy to configure. The solution was productive less than one month after the initial implementation.
Making use of Rev-Trac has simplified its change management processes and enabled O-I to quickly realize the value of faster, better and safer SAP applications.
Prior to the implementation of Rev-Trac, O-I would take up to an hour to identify and fix an overtake/overwrite error. Since rolling out the SAP DevOps platform, the company receives 7-10 potentially dangerous overtake and overwrite error alerts monthly.
Automating its SAP change management processes has also enabled O-I to reduce:
o Manual effort
o Time on audit tasks
o Manual retrofit effort
