How to Explain SAP BASIS in 10 Seconds: "We're Air Traffic Control for the Enterprise." It's the perfect analogy. The business users are the passengers, focused on their individual planes (the Sales, Finance, and Supply Chain modules). But the BASIS team is in the control tower, managing the entire ecosystem to ensure everything runs safely and on time. Their daily mission: Runway Maintenance: Keeping systems patched, upgraded, and performing optimally. Traffic Monitoring: Watching the radar for performance bottlenecks, security threats, and potential system failures. Scheduling: Managing the complex schedule of arrivals and departures (batch jobs, updates, transports). A small delay in their world can ground flights across the entire airport. Without that central control tower, you don't have an airport; you have chaos. That's how critical SAP BASIS is to keeping a business running. As you start your week, remember the team in the tower ensuring your business can fly. #SAP #SAPBASIS #BASIS #AirTrafficControl #ERP #S4HANA #SAPConsulting #Tech #IT #Analogy #Metaphor #SystemAdministration #SysAdmin #DevOps #Cloud #OnPremise #Infrastructure #Performance #Monitoring #Stability #HighAvailability #Downtime #ITOps #DigitalTransformation #EnterpriseSoftware #BusinessContinuity #UnsungHeroes #BehindTheScenes #Teamwork #Collaboration #ITSupport #Leadership #CIO #CTO #ITLeaders #MondayMotivation #Career #TechJobs #SAPJobs #Systems #Architecture #Security #Automation #Process #WorkSmarter #Efficiency #Reliability
Great analogy. And like any Control Tower, a SAP Basis team can only manage all this work in parallel with quality automation software, to manage all the moving parts.

4dI prefer the old school term "transport police" and the project adage "never piss off Basis"... 😂
