When migrating business data to a new database platform, 
companies expect a few technical hiccups, but persevere by 
keeping their sights on the potential long-term benefits.  
Business executives bank on cost savings, and IT organiza-
tions look forward to simpler, more streamlined back-end  
environments. Australian building products supplier CSR 
Limited had high expectations for its data migration and 
wanted to put a strong plan in place to combat any techni-
cal glitches that could affect its SAP environment during 
the migration effort. 
  Any sporadic outages in CSR’s SAP environment could 
seriously impact the business in a number of ways: Sales 
might suffer if CSR retail outlets are unable to print  
receipts; daily revenue figures would be negatively 
 
affected if overnight billing runs couldn’t complete; and 
because dispatches come out of the SAP system, prod-
uct deliveries would get backlogged as shipping at CSR  
factories would halt. 
  With 2,000 SAP users across the organization relying on 
SAP solutions every day, CSR’s IT department wanted to  
ensure the operational excellence of its SAP system on the 
new database platform. It did so by implementing a robust 
and flexible automated monitoring solution that not only 
tells the IT department when its SAP system is likely to 
go (or has already gone) down, but detects incidents with  
non-SAP IT systems as well. It has also helped improve  
average transaction times across the SAP environment.
