SAP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)

Run better, upgrade faster, and stay in control of your SAP landscape.

​

SAP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides the tools and processes needed to manage the full lifecycle of your SAP solutions—from implementation and testing to operations, upgrades, and innovation adoption. Whether you’re running on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment, ALM helps you optimise system health, reduce downtime, and maintain control as your SAP footprint evolves.

​

At Plum Group, we help clients adopt and configure SAP ALM tools that fit their delivery model, compliance needs, and internal support structures.

SAP ALM Offers

• Project & Change Management
  Tools to manage implementations, enhancements, and upgrades—including documentation, change tracking, and collaboration.

• Monitoring & Alerting
  Real-time system health dashboards, performance metrics, and alerts to proactively detect and resolve issues.

• Test Management
  Integrated test planning, execution, and reporting across SAP and non-SAP landscapes—supporting both manual and automated testing.

• Business Process Monitoring
  Track key process flows (e.g. order-to-cash, procure-to-pay) to detect delays, exceptions, or compliance breaches.

• Upgrade Readiness & Adoption
  Tools to analyse custom code, manage regression risk, and support feature activation with each SAP release.
