Hayes Technology Group, the developer of Gold Client Solutions®, the premier refresh and replication data management software suite for use within SAP solution-based environments, today announced an international strategic partnership agreement with Cotesys. The extension of Hayes’ Partner Program in France reinforces the growing need for Gold Client wherever SAP is deployed.

Gold Client Solutions, developed by Hayes Technology Group, dramatically reduces the amount of time and effort required to replicate data by eliminating the need to copy the entire production database to non-productive environments. Gold Client’s unique, surgical approach allows teams to quickly select and copy subsets of only relevant data from production or non-production sources to non-production targets. Additionally, data can be transformed during export, allowing secure data to be masked, replaced or scrambled before it reaches the target system.

“Our customers demand agile solutions that deliver the greatest results within the SAP environment,” said Yannick Hubert, CEO of Cotesys. “Through this partnership with Hayes Technology Group, we can now help SAP users save time and money by offering flexible and optimal data management solutions for development, testing, and training environments.”

Cotesys is a value-added software reseller primarily representing international software vendors. The company has built many strong strategic partnerships with integrators and SAP users in the French-speaking part of Europe and North Africa.

“The strategic partnership with Cotesys is an important milestone for Hayes Technology Group,” said Matt Pawl, vice president of marketing of Hayes Technology Group. “We look forward to joining forces to deliver the value of Gold Client to companies throughout France.”

Gold Client’s industry leading support for SAP environments and industry specific modules has aided in the expansion to new markets. In France, the world’s largest utility GDF SUEZ utilizes Gold Client Solutions and the robust configuration supporting SAP for Utilities (IS-U). After passing rigorous Proof of Concept testing and comprehensive evaluation by GDF SUEZ, Gold Client’s support of SAP for Utilities solutions was unmatched.

Gold Client Solutions are available for use with the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP), SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW), SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM), SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS), SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) and human resources (SAP HR) applications. Gold Client solutions have received SAP certification as powered by SAP NetWeaver.
