Is Gold Client for your project?

“We bought into the practice of copying Production to all other environments to appease the core team. That was when the database was small. Now, we are pushing 800GB and the exponential cost of the disk is becoming unbearable. The process for a copy is solid, but the Basis team is getting sick of losing their weekends every time we have to do a refresh.

Some products can move selected data, but require extensive business knowledge. Others offer to delete mass amounts of data, but still require a full copy to begin. We need something the Basis team can use that offers a true alternative that the entire project team can embrace.”

— Many Basis Managers

We need a solution that’s flexible enough to allow us to grab segments of data to help test processes that don’t need full account data. The current process requirements are really weighing us down!

— Many Application Developers

If your project struggles with issues like these, we can help. These are common scenarios when customers begin to evaluate the use of Gold Client®.

Gold Client® has something to offer for the entire SAP R/3 project team:

  • Basis Teams realize a flexible and efficient new process for handling client refresh requests, through the Refresh Alternative functionality. Change control remains undisturbed as the practice of copying databases can be abolished.
  • Development Teams are empowered by the Intelligent Data Transfer tool, as they will yield unlimited power in targeting and isolating specific transactional data for movement back into Non-Production clients. Relevant data in the Development systems will also re-enable the practice of functional testing in the DEV system (fewer transports).
  • Testing Teams can work with real Production Master Data for all test cases. Smaller Test systems result in faster response times and better performance in the Test environment.
  • Training Team can build training material with real Production data and users have the luxury of working with data that they will actually use in the real SAP R/3 world. Smaller clients can enable multiple classroom clients for simultaneous training.
  • Auditors will rest easier knowing that full company balance sheets and other critically sensitive data won’t be replicated to multiple, less secure environments.
