SAP Endorsed App: Why it should matter to Redwood customers

A lot of companies have gotten comfortable with the way their job scheduling has always worked. It ran in the background, executed batch jobs and didn’t cause a lot of noise — so why change it? 

The problem is, “just working” isn’t the same as being ready for what’s coming next, especially if you care about SAP’s evolution and the massive role AI is playing. In a world where digital transformation now means becoming an intelligent enterprise built on real-time data, you can’t afford not to make use of the “best of the best” solutions.

Luckily, SAP gives us an easy way to determine which compatible solutions the company most strongly stands behind: SAP Endorsed App Premium certification.

SAP Endorsed App: More than just a badge

SAP Endorsed Apps aren’t ordinary partner solutions. This invitation-only program highlights solutions that help you with strategic business challenges not directly addressed by core SAP functionality. 

SAP Endorsed App status is the highest level of certification SAP offers, and it isn’t handed out lightly. It signals to customers that the solution has been extensively tested and validated to meet SAP’s highest standards for performance, security and integration.

Being an Endorsed App means a solution has been rigorously evaluated and passed SAP’s most demanding Premium certification standards. Every angle is tested to ensure the solution truly stands up to real-world enterprise demands, even in the most complex hybrid environments. Only solutions that are widely used by SAP customers, future-aligned and proven to deliver outstanding customer value earn this highest level of SAP trust.

SAP Endorsed App for workload automation

Taking advantage of SAP’s next-generation capabilities is particularly important when it comes to workload automation, the backbone of your mission-critical processes. SAP CEO Christian Klein envisions a world in which ERP, automation, data and AI all work together in one cohesive ecosystem. Your processes should run end to end, intelligently orchestrated rather than stitched together. If your automation layer isn’t deeply integrated and future-ready, it becomes an anchor dragging you down. And if your workload automation partner isn’t deeply aligned with SAP, you’re going to hit bottlenecks sooner than you think.

That’s why RunMyJobs by Redwood becoming a Premium certified SAP Endorsed App matters so much. You know your automation will be not just compatible but optimal, now and into the future.

Certified vs. optimal integration

Many job scheduling solutions are certified to connect to SAP systems, even RISE with SAP. And that’s good, but it’s only the first step. Basic certification means a scheduler has been tested to connect and perform standard tasks, but it doesn’t tell you how it integrates, what extra infrastructure you need or whether it supports a clean core without workarounds and fragile custom code.

It’s kind of like giving your teenager a learner’s permit. Sure, they’re legally allowed to drive, but would you hand them the keys and say, “Go ahead, take your friends to the basketball game tonight … and use the freeway”? Probably not. You know that true readiness involves more than basic certification. It’s about trust, experience and minimizing risk — for the driver and everyone else on the road.

RunMyJobs is the experienced, fully licensed driver: the only workload automation solution that is an SAP Endorsed App, Premium certified. Thus, it’s optimized to run in complex SAP landscapes, including RISE with SAP, Business Technology Platform (BTP) and Business Data Cloud (BDC). 

It’s not about whether your automation connects to SAP. It’s whether it truly unlocks SAP’s full value, without compromise.

True future-proofing: Not just a fancy marketing slogan

We all see “future-proof” plastered across marketing materials. But real future-proofing isn’t a tagline. It means what’s being offered is designed to evolve, not just function today.

With SAP Endorsed App status, RunMyJobs is verified to keep pace with SAP’s roadmap. There is a regular cadence for SAP and Redwood Software to collaborate and align product roadmaps. What you get from this: reduced risk, faster time-to-value and confidence that your automation engine won’t become the bottleneck when it’s time to embed AI into your core business processes. So when we talk about RunMyJobs being “future-proof,” we’re not throwing around empty words. 

Don’t run your business on a learner’s permit. You need a solution that’s been trained, tested and trusted to navigate the entire journey confidently, even if the road ahead is uncertain.
