The Future of Application Lifecycle Management

What is SAP Cloud ALM?

SAP Cloud ALM is a cloud-native Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution offered as part of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). It supports both implementation and operations of SAP solutions, providing a centralized workspace for project teams, developers and IT operations. 

Unlike traditional tools like SAP Solution Manager, Cloud ALM is:

• lightweight
• fast to onboard
• tailored for cloud-first strategies

It’s built to help customers adopt SAP solutions efficiently while maintaining control over performance, availability and change management.

SAP Cloud ALM is included with SAP Enterprise Support for Cloud edition, meaning you don't pay extra to use it. It is also included with cloud offerings like GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP.
