A unique SAP process monitoring solution

For many organisations, SAP is the basis for their business operations. Insight into the functioning of primary processes in which SAP is involved, is therefore essential. Current SAP monitoring solutions are often time-consuming and costly to implement, offer limited dashboard and reporting features, and provide too little information about business processes. With SAP PowerConnect, Sentia offers a unique SAP performance and business process monitoring solution that enables end-to-end insights into SAP and other technologies.
