Case Study: Associated Weavers reduces SAP test data footprint with EPI-USE Labs Data Sync Manager

Associated Weavers cuts SAP refresh time to 12 hours with EPI-USE Labs

Associated Weavers, a leading European manufacturer of carpets and flooring, faced challenges with their SAP test data management. Their process of refreshing non-production environments via system copies was so time-consuming and labor-intensive that it could only be done once a year. They sought a solution from EPI-USE Labs to enable more frequent refreshes, improve data quality, increase flexibility, and reduce their overall data footprint.

EPI-USE Labs implemented its Data Sync Manager suite, specifically the Client Sync tool, as the solution. This allowed Associated Weavers to copy data from production to their test environments quickly and efficiently. The results were significant: a full system refresh that previously took a week was reduced to under 12 hours, and their data footprint was cut by 78%, from 1.4TB to under 300GB. EPI-USE Labs' solution provided more frequent refreshes with improved data quality, leading to more successful projects and substantial storage cost savings.
