Case Study: Siemens PLM Software achieves faster, secure SAP system refreshes with EPI-USE Labs Data Sync Manager

Siemens PLM Software sees Data Sync Manager as an ingenious solution

Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of Siemens, faced significant data management challenges due to its rapid growth through acquisitions. Their process for refreshing SAP systems was a hugely time-consuming, manual effort that could take up to a month, leaving sensitive data at risk and creating a burden on IT resources. To address this, they partnered with vendor EPI-USE Labs to implement its Data Sync Manager (DSM) product suite.

EPI-USE Labs' DSM solution automated the system refresh process, allowing Siemens PLM Software to rapidly create non-production systems, copy selected data on-demand, and scramble data for security. The results were transformative: the time and manual effort for refreshes were drastically reduced, freeing up the Basis team and cutting project delays by 50%. EPI-USE Labs provided a solution that is now considered a critical success factor within Siemens' overall IT landscape, delivering major cost savings and improved data security.
