Streamline SAP self-service development
Often times when self-service solutions and SAP are mentioned together, many SAP people think of human resources or SAP HCM ESS/MSS solutions. Winshuttle Self-Service for SAP goes one step further because it supports the development and deployment of multiple SAP business transactions. In many scenarios, employees and corporate partners rely on SAP power users to help complete work tasks. However, tasks can be completed more efficiently by empowering employees, suppliers and partners with SAP self-service applications.
Winshuttle Self-Service for SAP accomplishes this by providing a usability platform for developing, deploying and managing these applications along with flexible workflow designed to provide “request-approval” business scenarios. The benefits are an order of magnitude savings in IT team resources and a massive reduction in SAP application and reporting requests backlog.
Typically, SAP self-service (ESS/MSS) functionality is delivered via corporate websites or portals. In the SAP environment, these solutions require significant Java and ABAP Workbench development, skilled deployment and on-going change management to create, maintain and customize the SAP HR self-service applications. By combining the best features of SAP and Microsoft SharePoint, Winshuttle allows organizations to deliver capabilities like material creation, sales order generation, bill of material updates, service notifications and time sheet entry directly to the relevant employees. This is done through a familiar, usable interface that can be easily customized for the needs of different organizations and business units.
Of course, Winshuttle solutions support all SAP security requirements, with strict adherence to governance policies so that the integrity of your SAP system is never compromised.

Faster Development & Deployment Means Bigger Savings
Winshuttle’s approach to developing self-service applications for SAP is based on a simple “record-map-use” model and powerful platform configuration functionality designed for business users and IT professionals alike. The results are a significant reduction in development costs and IT application backlog.
Because Winshuttle uses existing corporate standards such as SharePoint, global organizations can deploy SAP ERP self-service applications in days or weeks rather than months. This means that SAP self-service applications are rolled out faster, while expensive manual processes, extended development projects and massive call center support can be retired more quickly.
