Learn why major companies decided to use Figaf SAP Integration Automation
“With Figaf our team could easily transport and configure integration. We could even reuse Dev system as Test with the same process. Allowing us to save costs.”
Dürr wanted a more reliable and governed way to move SAP Integration Suite changes from development to QA to production. Their integration team was dealing with risks tied to manual transport handling, limited native SAP transport maturity for their needs, the need to reuse their Dev tenant for testing without weakening governance, and a desire to restrict direct production access while still improving troubleshooting and developer productivity.
To address this, Dürr adopted Figaf DevOps Suite for transport management, automated configuration, a virtual tenant approach for a practical DEV/QA setup, daily Git backups, better Groovy script development, and more testing support. According to the case, this helped reduce operational risk and costs, enforce a more controlled deployment process, improve troubleshooting and the developer experience, and strengthen resilience through routine backups.
The case also notes that Dürr self-onboarded largely through Figaf’s documentation and may expand later into approvals for audit trails and broader automated testing.
- Reduced operational risk by removing manual transport steps and enforcing a consistent deployment workflow
- Reduced cost for building and maintaining integration.
- Structure by restricting production access and ensuring deployments go through a controlled mechanism.
- Faster troubleshooting with easier context for iFlows
- Improved developer experience using a better Groovy editing
- Better resilience through routine backups of integration artifacts to Git.
“We used Figaf for the project, which significantly accelerated the migration process. The transition went smoothly, with no defects reported by the partners we moved live, ensuring our relationships remained strong and uncompromised.. ”
Medela initiated a strategic migration from SAP PI to SAP Integration Suite to align with SAP’s roadmap and modernize their integration landscape.
They partnered with Figaf to kick off the project, using the Figaf Migration Tool to perform an AS-IS migration that preserved existing logic and minimized rework.
To ensure quality and control, Medela also leveraged Figaf’s automated testing and DevOps tools for validation, versioning, and transport management across environments. This setup enabled a faster, smoother migration process with less manual effort and higher reliability.
- Fast migration completed in roughly 2 months with up to one mapping migrated per day at peak
- High mapping accuracy and reduced manual effort through automated test case validation
- Improved partner management and deployment governance with streamlined setup of Trading Partner profiles and agreement handling
“The assessment tool, I think was a lesson learned here, if we were starting from scratch again or for the next migration, I would use the assessment tool as it really is a good starting place for migration planning.”
We are discussing the migration to SAP Cloud Integration by a major grocery chain in the Oceania region that has migrated more than 100 integrations.
They are using both the Figaf DevOps Suite and the Figaf Migration Tool.
The migration is coordinated with a SAP S/4 HANA Migration project which required they migrate a certain number of interfaces to keep up with the project.
- Saved days on the migration project with Figaf’s Migration Assessment Report
- Able to retrieve test cases from the production environment for testing migrated iFlows
“Figaf DevOps Tool covers the needs for the entire development process and is the only software that allows you to automate the delivery of your SAP Integration. By using this software, developers can focus on what they are best at, development. “
Olympus Europa is the headquarters for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) of the Japanese Olympus Corporation. The global leader in optical and digital precision technology employs 6,750 people in Hamburg, Germany. Olympus Europe and its 31 subsidiaries in the EMEA region sell state-of-the-art medical systems, digital cameras, and scientific solutions for around € 1.7 billion per year.
Handling multiple stages within an integration architecture is a challenging task also for Mark Lehmann who is a Senior Enterprise Application Integration Consultant at Olympus. He says he has rarely seen a company that has achieved a unified setup within development-, test- and production environment. However, in his view, this is an ideal state or even “the paradise,” as he says. He recognized the potential of Figaf for SAP Integration and implemented the Figaf DevOps tool. The first “real world” run they conducted after the implementation was a major go live with 57 transports which was a success.
