•  Company B is acquiring Company A •  Company B wants to due diligence and perform an audit

process on Company A’s financial (ECC) system •  Company B audit team want access to the ECC system,

but Company A wants a copy of production (MRG) and apply a network security services policy for that system

•  SAP ITPA will be used to perform pre-setup and provisioning within the environment and SAP landscape

•  SAP ITPA will leverage SAP NW LVM for the system copy process

•  SAP ITPA will perform post setup and configuration (ie. Applying security policy
