Our customers say...

As a non-SAP specialist, comprehending the intricacies of SAP data can be challenging. However, Safyr has made this process significantly easier and more efficient.

‍

What sets Silwood apart is their commitment to a strong partnership and customer experience.

"We took what would have been months of work (and possibly a barrier to progress) and completed the activity within hours and nominal resource investment.

‍

We’re pleased to have been able to achieve a high degree of efficiency with this collaborative effort."

"Having been told by our ERP implementation partner that they couldn’t deliver a data model for SAP and even by some folks at SAP that no such thing existed we were on the look out for anything that would help with our understanding of SAP’s data structures.

‍

Once we found you making a case for purchase was pretty straightforward. At Safyr’s price point the payback in our case is only a few months when offset against the Google & trial and error approach we were having to employ to get information out of SAP to answer the questions our business colleagues were asking."

‍

"We are currently going through an Enterprise Digital Transformation initiative and use JD Edwards as our ERP.

‍

We have begun efforts to assess the current state of particular areas of our data and have used Safyr to help us understand the intended purpose of certain fields in the system and compare that to how they are being used or misused in the system.  This will help us to identify areas of opportunity to better leverage the system as intended.

‍

We plan to leverage the data models and pull those into our integrated data modeling tool once we begin to design a data warehouse in the upcoming year.

‍

We have had a very positive experience working with the Safyr team thus far and look forward to working with them more as we begin to further leverage their tool in the upcoming months."

"One of the struggles with Salesforce has been the ability to document the implementations that can often grow large and complex.  Looking for a tool that could help us to retrieve the metadata and import into our data modeling tool was the big issue Safyr quickly helped us resolve.  Documentation is a key element of our analytical environment.

‍

We found the Subject Areas especially nice in reducing the information retrieved to just those parts of Salesforce that we were actually using.  Implementing Safyr was fast and easy.  Setting up the Salesforce Repository and retrieving the data was extremely quick and allowed us to get what we needed in short time. 

‍

Our Salesforce application was exported to both ER/Studio and PowerDesigner modeling tools very efficiently and Safyr continues to help us manage our documentation in a fast-changing development environment."

"RS are succeeding in achieving a level of understanding of data in SAP that we previously thought impossible.

‍

We have quickly assembled a set of detailed subject area data models which we can now use to guide project activities.

‍

The Safyr models deliver a level of detail that we would not otherwise be able to achieve without extensive user research (and a large helping of guesswork).

‍

We have high confidence in the detail in each model as it is coming directly from SAP itself."

"The customizations required in the Pension Administration module of PeopleSoft are extensive.

‍

With proper scrutiny and discipline around modifications to the module (and system as a whole) and discipline around the Metadata of the objects, Safyr can positively impact downstream use of the data in the system."

"I must say that it (Safyr) has been a godsend to us for mapping out our JDE (JD Edwards) joins and business views.

‍

The product is brilliant to say the least. I would have no issue with recommending it to anyone in a similar position."

‍

"Please pass this on to everyone at SAFYR. Each person I had contact with at SAFYR was professional, polite, patient … first class.

‍

Also, I enjoyed using SAFYR because it accomplished complex tasks and yet, and most importantly, it is easy to use … a rare and valuable quality in today’s world."

"Safyr is a brilliant tool; a “must have” for SAP analysis, maintenance and integration.

‍

If an organization is considering sharing data between SAP instances internally or externally and doesn’t use this tool to understand both ends of the interface, they are just burning money with a flamethrower."

"After doing a quick prototype metadata extract from SAP, the response to the insights SAFYR provides has been very positive!  I’m really grieving for the lost years without access to this tool.  It has met and exceeded my fairly lofty expectations.

‍

“If you are running SAP and don’t have this tool in-house…mistake."

‍

"I am still puzzled why so many developers spend countless hours trying to decipher the 90,000 tables in SAP, instead of using Safyr."

"It’s difficult to imagine how we could have integrated complex SAP, Siebel and J.D. Edwards metadata structures into our corporate information architecture without Safyr.

‍

The cost was low compared to other methods and a fraction of the overall project budget."

"Safyr was a clear enabler for our SAP to SAP DFPS migration and related Data Warehouse redevelopment project.

‍

We could not imagine how we could have solved all the issues in time without it!"

"Safyr allowed us to quickly analyse intricate SAP tables, relations, and data like a knife cutting through butter.

‍

It has saved us a considerable amount of time in developing a cross-application program that links R/3 and our legacy application."

"Collibra approaches metadata management from a holistic data governance perspective, which captures both business and technical metadata. This enables users to understand the complete enterprise context and lineage of their data to gain business value.

‍

This is especially critical today as organizations are looking to derive value from their many big data initiatives, as well as comply with data protection and security regulations, and drive new technology trends like AI.

‍

We’re pleased to be working with Silwood Technology on these critical integrations."

"Customers need to be confident that they can realize the value of data from their entire landscape and they require a comprehensive approach to supporting metadata from the widest set of source applications.

‍

The Safyr integration with Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog, developed by Silwood Technology, enables us to ensure that metadata from the world’s largest and most complex business applications can be quickly and effectively incorporated.

‍

This technical partnership with Silwood Technology enables our customers to rapidly provision Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog with metadata from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft and Salesforce applications."

"IDERA is thrilled to offer the Safyr solution directly to our ER/Studio customers who are working with these key CRM and ERP platforms.

‍

Having access to this complex package metadata gives data professionals improved visibility into data lineage across the entire data landscape.

‍

This extends the powerful capabilities of ER/Studio even further, to serve as the focal point to manage all of their data architecture and governance initiatives."

"As soon as I saw the tool in action I understood the benefits and value this could bring to our clients.

‍

Harnessing Safyr’s power to rapidly comprehend, visualise and quantify often hidden and complex data models of ERP systems will reduce delivery risk and avoid a lot of common pitfalls faced with data transformation projects.

‍

We are excited to offer this product as part of our services."

"Metadata and data models are critical to the success of enterprise data solutions, and more and more of our customers are looking for innovative ways to gather both business and technical metadata, particularly for packaged solutions.

‍

Silwood Technology offers a valuable solution to help discover business-critical metadata from solutions that had previously been difficult to integrate with the wider enterprise landscape."

"Safyr software has supported a number of data governance projects we have undertaken, and we are delighted to take the relationship to a new level by becoming a Silwood reseller.

‍

Given the current compliance regulations, we find our clients need to strive towards an Enterprise Information Model (EIM) which can provide Data Lineage and Semantic Lineage (Entity and Attribute) across ERP and non-ERP data structures. Safyr plays a highly fundamental role in this ability."

"Our company is constantly on the lookout for the best technologies for our clients; the most innovative, with the greatest value, that solve industry problems.

‍

This is why we are glad to be partnering with Silwood Technology to bring Safyr to our clients."

"Safyr is the only recognised product for harvesting metadata from SAP and Oracle packaged applications.

‍

This partnership will allow the customers of those systems to find and use their metadata models in smartfacts.

‍

Safyr complements the capabilities of smartfacts. It has never been easier to find and access metadata and diagrams for critical enterprise systems and share and collaborate on them in the cloud."

"The Safyr Metadata Discovery Blocks represent excellent examples of the tools and utilities available on the Informatica Marketplace that help customers execute their data integration initiatives more quickly and easily.

‍

By achieving the Seal of Approval, prospects gain confidence in knowing that the Safyr tools have been validated by Informatica engineers and that they meet our quality standards."

"ASG is the market-leading provider of integrated metadata management solutions and the relationship with Silwood Technology delivers unprecedented transparency for business and technical users to understand and leverage the integrated value of packaged applications.

‍

By providing integrated views and enabling impact analysis across the scope of packaged and custom developed applications, the solution gives our customers greater control and manageability for their IT assets."

"Through our relationship with Silwood and ca smart approved Safyr, we now have the ideal data modeling solution for SAP, J D Edwards, Siebel and PeopleSoft enterprise application (EA) environments.

‍

The combined solution enables our customers to rapidly leverage the value-rich data stores they’ve spent so much time and effort creating."

"The combination of Silwood Technology’s Saphir and visualmetrics software and consulting services offers unrivalled business value and technical insight into how to best manage, maintain and exploit the optimal value from the investments made into SAP ERP, SAP BW and Oracle (e business suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards & Siebel) applications."

"While Safyr has always represented pretty cool technology it has, to a certain extent, been a slow burner.

‍

The advent of data catalogues makes it a must have capability for the environments it supports. It’s an idea whose time has come."

"Data discovery and profiling (DDP) is the most important data management task that enterprises are still not doing.

‍

DDP is a crucial for data-intensive initiatives such as data warehousing, business intelligence, master data management, and data integration."

"In our opinion, every major user of an Oracle or SAP application should be a Safyr customer, and SAP and Oracle should seriously consider partnering with Silwood Technology to offer Safyr to their customer base.

‍

If you are a large enterprise and you use any of the relevant SAP or Oracle applications then you will almost certainly have data marts and warehouses, integration issues, master data management, archival or data migration projects to take just a few examples that would benefit from the use of Safyr."
