For organizations testing new rollouts of innovative Sybase SAP application releases, a test data management solution is critical to maintaining relevant, production quality test data.

SAP environments tend to be highly varied, with every enterprise adapting environments and applications to their purposes. Every system includes customizations that accommodate unique processes and evolve as requirements change. As organizations acquire new units, add new applications and update existing versions, the complexity of the SAP environment continues to grow.

Rolling out new applications and solutions requires superior test data management, where project deployment teams can test changes to HR, CRM, ERP, Finance and other SAP applications in a non-production environment. The testing process can be cumbersome and expensive, as replicating data from SAP systems is likely to be time-consuming and complex. The entire process can hinder productivity for developers, QA staff and users throughout the organization.
