Major new version is SAP-certified as ABAP(TM) Add-on for use with SAP NetWeaver(R) 7.0, built to exacting development requirements to comply with FDA 21 CFR11

PHOENIX, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Revelation Software Concepts Pty Ltd (RSC), an SAP® software partner, today released Rev-Trac® 6.0, a major version upgrade of its flagship change request and transport management solution for enterprise IT systems running SAP solutions. The new version is built to exacting RSC development requirements based on the U.S. FDA Quality System Regulation 21 CFR11 and PIC/S Annex 11 to meet Computer Systems Validation and Quality System compliance for software development.

In addition to basing development quality requirements on 21 CFR Part 11 and PIC/S Annex 11, Rev-Trac 6 functionality has been designed so that pharmaceutical industry Rev-Trac customers can maintain compliance of SAP solutions with 21 CFR11. This further reduces the risks and lowers the costs of managing compliant change in the increasingly complex software-based systems of today's highly regulated industries.

Rev-Trac 6.0, available immediately, has been SAP-certified as an ABAP(TM) add-on for use with SAP NetWeaver® 7.0 technology platform, assuring SAP customers that the new version is fully tested and is compatible and ready for integration into existing systems. It is also compatible with Run Book Automation (RBA) processes that cross disciplines and span infrastructure elements to manage and report on whole-system and network workflows.

"The architecture of Rev-Trac 6 will facilitate integration with the wide range of increasingly integrated ALM solutions now appearing on the market, making it the natural nerve center for managing change processes throughout RSC customer systems," said David Drake, CEO and CTO of Revelation Software Concepts. "As a third-party ChaRM equivalent integrated tool set to record, track and report changes in SAP solutions, Rev-Trac 6 can also help SAP customers meet advanced Customer Center of Expertise certification requirements while reducing Customer COE costs in the process."

"Rev-Trac has proven compliant with our company policy for computerized system validation," said Jonathan Bunker, validation leader, Global Computer Validation, GlaxoSmithKline. "Our policy has been designed to meet external regulatory requirements for Computer Validation and Electronic Records and Signatures. Since regulatory compliance is crucially important to our company, Rev-Trac 6 can now become an important factor in our future SAP-related system changes and transport management strategies."

In addition to basing development quality requirements on 21 CFR Part 11 and PIC/S Annex 11, the new features of Rev-Trac 6.0 deliver -

• Enhanced xDeploy package management for greater flexibility when managing non-ABAP packages with the RT-xDeploy add-on;
• Increased custom fields definition within Rev-Trac requests to allow for multi-line input, allowing more complex data to be associated with requests directly via the Rev-Trac workbench user interface;
• Enhanced user delegation authority to allow for increased third-party delegate approvals;
• Enhanced web services providing tighter and more complete integration with third-party solutions;
• Enhanced configurability for Rev-Trac work flow emails allowing for increased 'own language' customization.
  

The extended change and transport control capabilities of Rev-Trac 6.0 demonstrate RSC's commitment to continual product development, product quality and reduction of operational costs for owners of SAP solution-based systems. This commitment has made Rev-Trac the premium change and request management technology available today, in use by many of the largest SAP customers to facilitate projects and lower total cost of ownership as their IT systems evolve to meet the needs of rapidly changing markets.

Today's announcement was made at SAP TechEd 2009 Phoenix, SAP's largest ecosystem education event of the year being held this week, where RSC is exhibiting in booth #612.
