Revelation
Software Concepts (RSC) has launched Salt, a free application platform capable
of providing SAP professionals a host of apps to make their work within SAP
more productive.
The
platform, launched last month at the Sapphire NOW Conference in Orlando, connects to the
customer’s various SAP solution-based systems to provide a wealth of
information and data via the Salt apps.
The
initial collection of Salt apps will expand what team members can
see and do when working on SAP solution-based systems via the native SAP GUI.
RSC expects they will quickly become invaluable additions to a team’s working
tool kit.
Initially,
eight different apps are scheduled for the platform, ranging from an external
version repository to a code-search facility and a full landscape comparison
utility.
Also,
any new additions to the Salt apps collection will be downloaded whenever the
customer applies an update from the main Salt website.
RSC
CEO and RSC founder David Drake said the new approach allows RSC to ‘remove
many obstacles that companies face while adopting our software to solve many
common issues’.
“We
have found that user issues around managing infrastructures running SAP
solutions tend to be common to all, so we set about creating a software solution
to tackle these common issues,” Drake said.
Adam
Cleversley, senior programmer at RSC described Salt as a toolset for
understanding SAP systems.
“They
tell me what changes have been made as of today, and lots of other useful
information. How did the changes get there, who made them, how much stale code
do we still have? ...These are the kinds of questions Salt can answer,” he
said.
Scheduled
for release in early August, the plug-and-play Salt platform will come with an
initial collection of apps and can be downloaded free of charge at www.saltapps.com.
Support
and additional features are available under a paid monthly subscription model.
