New SNP AG software solution extends the range of services for customers

- The new "SNP Interface Scanner" software analyzes interfaces and ensures the transparent visualization of the SAP landscape

- Continuous documentation of interface usage enables the evaluation of communication between SAP systems

Heidelberg, 07/14/2016: According to a statement by the company, the SNP AG has further expanded its range of services in standardized transformation software. The SNP Interface Scanner is new software that can analyze the interfaces between SAP systems or the surrounding landscapes - and it is now available for customers. The software offers real advantages in SAP system management.

The SNP Interface Scanner provides a database and an infrastructure that visually maps the systems involved and their connections. The new solution enables companies to continuously document their interface use and the resulting data can then be used for programs such as SAP Audit, for instance. The Interface Scanner also enables a derivation through which interfaces can be reduced or optimized. To achieve this, usage statistics are acquired from SAP systems - even the statistics of temporarily inactive interfaces - and stored in a central database.

The SNP Interface Scanner is designed as "stand-alone" software. An addon connects the Windows-based software on a MS SQL server to the SAP systems. Monitoring with the SAP Solution Manager(R) is also possible.

It's a challenge for many companies to monitor the changes in their interface landscapes, keep the interface documentation up-to-date and to visualize the interface topology. The SNP Interface Scanner offers the perfect solution for this," says Achim Westermann, Director Analysis, SNP AG.

The software was purchased in May 2016 by the Heidelberg-based IT company pb-con GmbH and has since been marketed by SNP AG under its new name of "SNP Interface Scanner".
