Case Study: a leading British energy retailer achieves secure, consistent SAP IS-U test data with EPI-USE Labs

Specialised services and Data Sync Manager™ for SAP IS-U solves energy retailer’s test data challenge

A leading British energy retailer faced significant challenges with its complex SAP IS-U data environment, which contained personal data for millions of customers. The immense volume and complexity of the data made creating full system copies for testing impossible, leading to poor-quality test data, an increase in production defects, and high support costs. They partnered with EPI-USE Labs to find a specialized solution that could ensure data integrity, simplicity, reliability, and compliance.

EPI-USE Labs implemented its Data Sync Manager (DSM) suite over a multi-year, collaborative engagement. The solution included creating cloned training data, performing client slices, and using Data Secure to anonymize data for compliance. This provided the energy retailer with consistent, secure, and reliable test data. The results empowered business users to manage their own test data with minimal IT support, significantly increased agility in development and testing, and ensured full compliance with data privacy regulations.
