impact20: Driving SAP Change Excellence at Pandora: A gCTS-Powered DevOps Journey with ReleaseOwl
Description

Modern SAP landscapes demand agility, traceability, and governance. In this session, Mo Mohammed, Technology Director for SAP Solutions at Pandora, and Niranjan Gattupalli, CEO of ReleaseOwl, will share how Pandora redefined its SAP change and release management by leveraging Git-enabled Change and Transport System (gCTS) integrated with ReleaseOwl’s native DevOps platform.  Facing challenges like fragmented release workflows, lack of version control, and manual transport governance, Pandora embarked on a transformation journey to modernize its SAP development lifecycle. By adopting gCTS with ReleaseOwl, Pandora achieved centralized visibility into code changes, automated deployments across environments, and built-in quality gates—without disrupting business operations. This session will walk through the implementation blueprint, highlight key decisions, and outline measurable outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into enabling CI/CD for SAP, overcoming gCTS adoption hurdles, and building an audit-ready DevOps pipeline aligned with enterprise controls.

You will learn how to:

  • Build a version-controlled, automated change and release process using gCTS and ReleaseOwl.  
  • Implement quality gates and audit trails for risk-aware SAP deployments.  
  • Apply lessons from Pandora’s real-world DevOps transformation to accelerate your own journey.
