Case Study: Santam achieves test data provisioning 720 times faster with Redgate SQL Provision

Santam delivers test data 720x faster with Redgate

Santam, the largest general insurer in South Africa, faced a significant challenge in provisioning high-quality test data at scale for its development teams. Their process was slow, required manual intervention from DBAs, and resulted in unreliable data due to the need to remove personally identifiable information. The vendor Redgate provided a solution using SQL Provision to automate and deliver test data on-demand.

Redgate's SQL Provision solution enabled Santam to create virtualized copies of databases in seconds instead of hours. This gave development teams the ability to self-serve reliable, compliant environments, eliminating bottlenecks. The results were dramatic: data environments were delivered 720 times faster and used 95% less storage space, significantly accelerating the development lifecycle and improving software quality.
