Case Study: 3M achieves faster, more accurate SAP testing (30%+ time savings, 85% fewer SME hours) with Worksoft

Quality, Speed and Precision with Automation at 3M

3M, a global manufacturing leader, faced a daunting testing challenge after rolling out a large SAP environment: by 2015 it had built a library of more than 900 tests and required 61 people and 30 weeks to run them manually. Ensuring quality, speed and precision across complex, cross‑module business processes made automation a clear priority.

3M chose Worksoft for end‑to‑end SAP automation, using capture technology, a phased rollout, onsite workshops and strong stakeholder engagement to convert high‑value manual regression tests. The results: regression cycles shortened by 30% or more, SME involvement dropped by 85%, and example inventory tests fell from 540 hours to about 3.5 hours — delivering sustained time and cost savings across order‑to‑cash, sales, materials management and finance processes.
