SAP Safeguarding Helps Bank Make the Release-Change Transition Smooth

When it comes to performing IT upgrades, the banking sector is certainly one of the fastest moving. Literally, every second counts - even in the most complex of landscapes. Imagine, then, how little time a company such as HSH Nordbank AG can spend with release changes for mission-critical software. The challenge HSH Nordbank faced was to implement the latest release for use with Basel II and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) while maintaining a productive landscape and incurring no disruption to normal operations. HSH Nordbank decided to take advantage of SAP Safeguarding services provided by the SAP Active Global Support (SAP AGS) organization. SAP services now provide the longer-term support to the bank needs.
