Revelation Software Concepts: SAP Change Management Software

David Drake
Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Australia-based David Drake formed Revelation Software Concepts (RSC) in 1997 as a privately funded company. His express purpose was to develop and support RSC's flagship product, the Rev-Trac change management solution for SAP solution-based business intelligence systems. Now in version 6.0, Rev-Trac has consistently reflected David’s original vision of a highly automated change management solution for SAP solution-based enterprise systems of any size.

Prior to founding RSC,  David honed his own programming knowledge and leadership skills as a programming team leader. During this time he acquired great skill with SAP ABAP/4. He worked with SAP applications of all types since 1987 and developed a deep understanding of SAP-based System Change Control requirements. He also studied market needs as they related to SAP change management software tools. He realized that, as dependence grew on SAP-based solutions to keep information flowing and accessible, the need for a tightly integrated change management technology would grow rapidly.

David still takes a very active role in the ongoing design of Rev-Trac, particularly in the areas of process control, distributed system architecture and inter-system communication.
