The challenge CBH Group’s IT teams were unable to deliver new SAP projects fast enough

It was a constant struggle to keep pace with the business’ requests for technical SAP change

the situation was really starting to hold the business back

3 weeks Whenever CBH Group wanted to build a new QA landscape with standard SAP TDMS tools, it was taking 3 weeks – leaving very little time for bug fixes and business testing

In 2013 the team faced an even greater challenge…

15 2 months

a large new landscape project in

to deliver

SAP system refreshes

and

SAP TDMS (Test Data Migration Server) hadn’t delivered the time savings on previous landscape rollouts that would be required for this new challenge

we had to consider external solutions that could help us take time out of the BDLS process so the refreshes and new landscape projects could be delivered much faster

Gavin Thornton, SAP Product Manager CBH Group

The answer

CBH Group turned to System CopyGT to deliver faster SAP system refreshes – vital for the continuous delivery of critical business change

For CBH Group this meant that the run-time of BDLS went from

hours 39

mins

to just

What does this

mean for

the business

1 day

more agile IT

Testing on production-like data gives greater release confidence

And testing teams have more time to pre-plan testing activity

reduced downtime

The business is

ecstatic! Gavin Thornton, SAP Product Manager CBH Group
