Gamma Enterprise Technologies' InfoShuttle(R) Data On Demand Solution Helps Ensure High-Quality Test Data for Customers Using SAP(R) Applications.

LAS VEGAS -- Gamma Enterprise Technologies, a leading global provider of application data management software solutions for companies running SAP[R] applications, today announced the important role its InfoShuttle[R] Data On Demand solution plays in ensuring high-quality data is used during testing. Gamma's InfoShuttle solution supports and complements the new SAP Testing Acceleration and Optimization (SAP TAO), a new solution for end-to-end business process testing. The SAP TAO solution contains best-practice guidance regarding the use of existing Test Data Management solutions, including SAP Test Data Migration Server (SAP TDMS) software and InfoShuttle Data On Demand.

Companies are realizing the most valid data needed by functional specialists, developers and testers of SAP applications, is current production data. However, developers often spend as much as 50 percent of their time attempting to find good data for initial testing. Additionally, getting new data into existing non-production environments using traditional utilities, without disruption of active projects, can be difficult. Similarly, entering records manually offers a poor alternative due to the many intricate dependencies that exist between SAP data objects.

As part of SAP TAO, which helps businesses cost-effectively mitigate risk and support the entire SAP application lifecycle, Gamma InfoShuttle Data On Demand will help ensure SAP customers have high-quality test data, on-demand, in non-production clients.

"Organizations face numerous challenges accessing the right data they need for testing," said Suzanne Swanson, executive vice president, Gamma Enterprise Technologies. "This can lead to improperly tested rollouts or delays in enhancements. We're working closely with SAP to help ensure businesses can test against good application data, allowing optimal performance in production environments so customers can be more productive, compliant and competitive."

"SAP is committed to providing an innovative, accelerated testing solution to our customers that lowers risk and reduces costs for ongoing development and data lifecycle management," said Raj Rao, senior vice president product development, governance, risk and compliance at SAP. "Testing is only as good as the data used. To ensure we test against good data, SAP is working with Gamma to add high-quality test data by example. Gamma's InfoShuttle Data On Demand provides a unique fit with our SAP TAO solution."

Gamma has over 10 years experience in the enterprise software industry and its solutions are deployed throughout some of the largest organizations in the world. Gamma's InfoShuttle Suite offers a comprehensive and systematic way to move user-selected production data into existing non-production environments, such as development, QA and training. As part of Gamma's Suite of application data management solutions, Data On Demand provides a flexible method for replicating subsets of current master and transactional data while insuring full data integrity, reducing application and upgrade deployment risk, improving productivity and shortening development test cycles.
