SAP Output Management

The weakest link in your SAP business process chain is where information leaves SAP^® applications, i.e., at the creation of a hardcopy or electronic document. The infrastructure that supports SAP printing and SAP document management in most enterprises is complex and costly to manage. This increases the risk of business process failure and the cost of delivering SAP documents.

Since 1997, LRS^®has been delivering SAP printing solutions that help customers meet their service level agreements (SLAs) while reducing the costs of document delivery. Our SAP-certified VPSX/OutputManager^® solution replaces nearly all of the native SAP print server infrastructure and specialized hardware. The result is a reduction in administration and helpdesk resources required to manage and support SAP printing environments. When problems do occur, the simple web-based interface makes them easy to find and even easier to resolve.

SAP History

SAP originally developed its External Output Management (BC-XOM) interface to offer a scalable alternative to problematic native OS-based document facilities. With the advent of Cloud-based offerings, SAP has continued to enhance and evolve its interfaces to external output management solutions.

LRS^® Output Management software leverages the BC-XOM interface to provide reliable end-to-end document delivery and status feedback between the SAP user interface to the printed page. The VPSX/OutputManager product is also certified for use with the RISE with SAP service and the SAP BTP-PRINT-OMS and S4HC-ES-PRINT-OMS interfaces to external output management solutions.

“What are some benefits of the LRS solution?”

LRS software provides a variety of benefits for organizations that rely on SAP applications for their critical business processes. The VPSX/OutputManager solution helps you:
