Features: Intelligroup Inc., provider of business consulting, technology, and outsourcing services has announced the launch of enhanced upgrading tool for New Dimensions applications.

UptimizerND allows customers upgrading their SAP New Dimensions applications to understand the complexity, time, and effort needed to upgrade in the areas of Business Intelligence (BW 7.0), Supply Chain (SCM 5.0/APO), Customer Relationship Management (CRM 5.0), and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM 5.0).

UptimizerND creates an inventory of customizations, business transactions, and utilizes its proprietary knowledge base to analyze and identify potential upgrade errors, screen errors, transactional deltas as compared to the new upgrade releases.

UptimizerND builds on Intelligroup's tool Uptimizer, and extends the capabilities to the New Dimensions applications. It has helped over 400 customers across the world to assess, plan, and execute upgrades when migrating from earlier versions of SAP R/3 to mySAP ERP 2004 or mySAP ERP 2005, Intelligroup said in a statement.

Using Uptimizer, customers have reduced the total cost of upgrades by up to 40 per cent when compared to traditional upgrade processes, Intelligroup added.

"UptimizerND helps to identify the customizations, modules and sub-modules implemented in each of the new dimension products like BW, SCM, CRM, and SRM,” said Sandeep Saberwal, global director, Tools at Intelligroup.

"This information helps in sizing, budgeting and executing accelerated upgrades by determining the complexity, scope, business critical objects, transactional usage, functional testing and resources required for the upgrade project," he added.
