“Figaf helpes us to improve the overall quality of the system and to reduce the amount of work that has to be done manually. Convincing the development team to use the Figaf DevOps Tool was easy because it's easy to use.”
Case
AkzoNobel is a Dutch multinational company that creates paints and performance coatings for industry and consumers in more than 80 countries worldwide. It employs over 32,000 people and generates a revenue of 8.5 billion euros.
At AkzoNobel, testing middleware is a huge task. Over the last couple of years, the team implemented countless interfaces. The company uses SAP PI mainly for application to application on the system.
Pieter Atling was responsible for testing at Akzo Nobel and tested Figaf along with other tools. This led to a clear decision for Figaf also because of its ease of use.

Case
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.
