EPI-USE Labs

“We appreciated EPI-USE Labs’ willingness to listen and adapt the technology to meet our needs. They not only extracted historical data, even from Z tables, but made the viewer on it work correctly (even when it hadn’t always in SAP).”

“The ease with which EPI-USE Labs could change table and field names for us, and show the descriptions instead of the codes for things like Wage types and Absence types was excellent. We agreed exactly on how we wanted to view the data at the end of the project and haven’t needed to change it since!”

“It’s a real positive that we have the ability to view payroll results just like in the PC_PAYRESULT transaction!”

“I found it really helpful that they (EPI-USE Labs) are pre-empting my problems; it's really good to work with a supplier that understands the new legislation and is already there with a product which enables me to ask the question - can the system do that? The answer so far has always been ‘yes, we have a solution for that to be GDPR compliant.’ To me this helps massively, there is a huge amount of legislation the business needs to get their heads around. So to partner with a company like EPI-USE Labs has been very useful.”

“Now we have a whole team who can use DSM, we're less dependent on one person. The benefit is that we can use DSM on testing very rapidly. New functionalities which are in development can be brought to acceptance much more quickly and easily, which speeds up the process and improves the quality of our data.”

“Data Sync Manager came at a good time for us. We were changing to SAP on HANA, and instead of doing large copies back and forth, we were able to use DSM functionality, so we downloaded to sandboxes, made copies to Development, and made a new copy from Production to our Acceptance environment. I've been very excited by the results.”

“We use DSM Object Sync so we can copy, clone and scramble Objects (test data on demand). We can now copy employees on a regular basis for HR, and scramble our data to comply with GDPR. It’s much faster, and we get test data at a higher level.”

“I think Data Sync Manager is something all SAP users need. I found it really hard previously as we had to do so much testing with key users after we made the copies, to make sure we had good, clear data after synchronisation; now we can speed up the process, as we don't need to do this testing with users.”

“There are a few different ways you can go about this kind of project and the thing I liked about EPI-USE Labs was that it was very pragmatic…they understood exactly what we were trying to achieve in terms of preparations, splits, moving the data, making sure it all balances, all the key pieces. It was the agility that EPI-USE Labs brings to the table - that is the significant advantage.”

“We initially chose EPI-USE Labs following a recommendation. Then we developed a huge amount of faith in them along the journey. I regard EPI-USE Labs as a company that absolutely delivers on the commitments it makes. It’s unusual in these types of interactions where there is a lot of complexity involved, especially when you think about older ERP systems and the integrations. To then move the data in a clean way, to deliver it on time, on cost; it's unusual to have that level of delivery!”

“The advantage of using EPI-USE Labs’ SLO solution is the agility and flexibility of the approach as opposed to a rigid structure of some of the other methods on the table.”

“The EPI-USE Labs team worked closely with our Project team to understand the requirements, propose options, offer guidance and highlight the risks. All parties understood it was a very aggressive timeline and we mitigated the risk by having multiple on-site workshops to ensure a common understanding of all key decisions. I was certainly in daily communication as we navigated through the critical phases.”

“We had a good relationship with EPI-USE Labs and reached out to them to understand how they could assist with this endeavor. They thoroughly explained the process and connected us with other customers who shared their experiences.”

“The EPI-USE Labs team rose to the challenge and leveraged offshore resources to ensure development continued around the clock!”

“This could not have been done without your invaluable contribution, hard work and dedication.”

“We are beyond proud and look forward to many more successes as we pivot our organisation along its transformation journey.”

“A huge congratulations on the successful migration of the SAP HCM system. This is an outstanding achievement…delivered on time and within budget.”

“We mainly use Data Sync Manager (DSM) to refresh our non-production test systems. Kingfisher has very large Production systems, so this proves quite a challenge, and EPI-USE Labs enables us to reduce the data footprint in those systems. The big benefit is that we don't want all our Production data in our test systems; we can reduce it massively using EPI-USE Labs' Data Sync Manager, by time-slicing, which is typically the main way we do it. This saves us a huge amount on system size and performance.”

““When people ask me how we improved the HCM reporting processes so drastically, the first thing out of my mouth is EPI-USE Labs’ Query Manager”.”

“It’s like day and night! The ability to automate reporting has saved us time, made us more efficient and provide higher quality reports containing actionable insight to our heads of business. Before, [we] were simply running reports, or creating lists of new headcounts and movements. Now we have automated all of that and are able to focus on advanced analytics and predictive models.”

““Now the Queries are running when we sleep and, when the people requiring the information get into work, it is just sitting there waiting for them”.”

““The one thing I knew for sure was that the demand for HCM data would continue to grow. We needed to find ways to better utilize our time and automation was the key”.”

“This was one of the best project testing phases that I have witnessed in terms of no data issues.”

“EPI-USE Labs always exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend them!”

“The EPI-USE Labs team and Data Sync Manager™ exceeded our expectations every time.”
