Zorgi streamlines SAP ERP environments with the Data Sync Manager

To harmonize the different financial and logistical processes of all hospitals, Zorgi developed an SAP HANA-based ERP solution: ERP4HealthCare (ERP4HC). "ERP4HC includes a 4-tiered SAP landscape," Eric Commers, Zorgi Service Delivery Manager, explains. "This consists of a development, test, acceptance and production environment. The hospitals have two environments - an acceptance and a production environment. When new releases are issued, the hospital can test these in advance in a safe environment before the final implementation of the release.”

More relevant, faster and cheaper

To ensure the tests are relevant, we need the most up-to-date information. "We were looking for a way to update the acceptance environment as efficiently as possible. We consulted Flexso, our SAP partner, hoping they could offer us a suitable solution. Flexso recommended the Data Sync Manager (DSM), an intelligent add-on for SAP, developed by EPI-USE Labs DSM.

"Thanks to EPI-USE Labs' Data Sync Manager (DSM) test data are more up-to-date and relevant, allowing our customers to make more informed decisions.”

The Data Sync Manager easily copies data from the SAP ERP production environment to the acceptance environment. Our customers don’t have to do anything - their acceptance environment will be populated immediately with the most recent data. This also makes the test data more relevant and helps customers make a better-informed decision about whether to accept new updates.

Everything also runs much faster - each refresh has an average maximum run-time of two working days. Another advantage of the tool is that the entire data history does not have to be refreshed each time, but only the last 2 financial years. This saves us a lot of expensive storage space in the acceptance environment.”
