The problem – from consolidated customer quotes:
"Planning of maintenance/upd/upg is error-prone, not
being intuitive but costly in both time and money…"
… reasons being:
Abundance of involved tools and data models
Missing user guidance on the process in UIs
Sync processes for data at SAP & customers
The solution: Simplify the process by…
… reduction of the number of involved tools
… using 1 data model & 1 calculation on demand
… central integration by clear hand-over steps in the tools

You can immediately start benefitting from advanced
planning features offered in Maintenance Planner
All landscape entities stay valid e.g. dependencies
created using product systems will automatically reflect
as maintenance dependencies in Maintenance Planner
If you're using the Scope & Effort Analyzer (SEA),
MOpz transactions are still needed
If you're using Change Request Mgmt. (ChaRM),
product systems are still needed for logical
