Gold Client: One for All
The entire project team will realize value from the Gold Client Solution. Our customers continually realize new and incredible ways to use Gold Client to assist them with planning and maintenance of the development, quality and training environments.
Basis Teams can more efficiently handle system and client refresh requests from the business units. Weekend workload for the Basis team can be reduced, as the Gold Client refresh process is more “hands free.” Additionally, change control remains undisturbed as the practice of copying databases can be abolished and storage requirements ease. The practice of copying the Production database throughout the landscape can be lessened or abolished.
Development Teams become empowered with a proven solution that can rebuild a stale DEV environment without risking the version history. Relevant test data, allows effective Unit Testing before transporting a change. Relevant data in the Development systems will also re-enable the practice of functional unit testing in the DEV system (fewer transports).
Functional Analysts will yield unlimited power unlimited power in targeting and isolating specific transactional data with the ability to replicate user-defined subsets of Master and/or Transactional data from PRD (or another source) for use in non-production clients. Gold Client ensures identical replication of the data, completely preserving document numbers and posting dates so that historical data is truly historical (particularly important for Financial Teams).
Testing Teams can work with real Production Master Data for all test cases. Safe, real world, script testing can be executed on actual production data and improve the reliability of testing results. Plus, smaller Test systems can be created resulting in faster response times and betterperformance in the Test environment.
Training Teams can build training material with real Production data and users have the luxury of working with data that they will actually use in the SAP world. Smaller clients can enable multiple classroom clients within a single Training instance for simultaneous training.
HR Teams will be able to move personnel data with job/position assignments, time sheet data, and full payroll result history (supports all PCL payroll clusters). Also, sensitive employee personal data can be scrambled upon export, preserving data security in potentially less secure systems.
Auditors will rest easier knowing the risk of having critically sensitive data replicated to multiple, less secure environments, is reduced. Combined with scrambling options, Gold Client can help an organization improve its compliancy.
