Learn why major companies decided to use Figaf SAP Integration Automation
Two main groups of customers
We have two main groups of customers for our software – SAP customers and service integrators.
SAP customers
Many larger companies, organizations and the public sector have their own IT departments handling SAP Integration. They buy our software directly from us and if needed they get support from our consultants.
Service integrators
Service integrators such as larger IT consultancies offer our software as a part of their solutions to their customers; companies, organizations and the public sector. They have our software as a part of their portfolio.
“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.”
Case
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.
Results
- 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. “
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.
