If you are a data architect, analyst, modeller or scientist and your role involves trying to make sense of the complex web of tables and relationships in your enterprise application from SAP, Oracle, Salesforce and others then this webinar will be a revelation.

In the past you may have been led to believe that it is not possible to find this information or that it is a task that must be left to application specialists or consultants.

We will demonstrate how Safyr solves the three critical problems associated with using enterprise application data models which means that you can perform this analysis yourself.

Harvesting application metadata: Safyr extracts metadata from your Enterprise Application, as implemented including customisations. in minutes or at most a couple of hours. Safyr brings the physical and logical table and column names, descriptions, views, table relationships and more into its own repository.

Locating what you need: Safyr intuitive interface allows you to navigate thousands of tables, columns and relationship to search, scope, filter, analyse and visualise the metadata you require to a hitherto undreamt of level of granularity.

Collaboration with colleagues and third party technology solutions: Safyr can help you to share valuable enterprise application metadata with business and technology colleagues and has been architected to enable use of its data by modelling, integration, metadata management and other Information Management tools.

Safyr helps to save time and money during the critical source data analysis project phases. It also reduces the risk of project delay or under-delivery. Equally as importantly, Safyr will assist in the drive towards better data quality and the reduction of inaccurate data being introduced into your downstream enterprise data ecosystem.

Silwood Technology announces the immediate availability of Safyr® v6.1 to customers with current support contracts.

There are a number of important improvements to Safyr which enhance its ability to help project staff accelerate delivery and improve access to trusted data through quicker and more comprehensive metadata search and analysis.

Safyr now incorporates tile based navigation to make it easier for new and occasional users to be productive even more rapidly.  From the tile screen users can access all areas of Safyr including the Table and Hierarchy search menus or initiate an extraction from a source system.

The tile screen also contains a link to the new multi-object search features. This enhances the search capabilities of Safyr by allowing the user to include results in the form of Tables, Views, Domains, Data Elements, and Application Hierarchies from a single search term.  By returning all the results in a series of nodes categorised by object type, Safyr makes it quicker to find exactly what is needed for the project task.

In a further development Safyr’s comparison functions have been reworked to make it possible to compare the data structures of complete applications as well as Subject areas and to export the results for further analysis.  The speed with which this can be achieved has been improved to such a degree that comparing complete SAP systems, for example is now possible within an hour.

There are a number of use cases where this facility would be of value, for example identifying the differences between individual instances of a system (e.g. SAP Paris and SAP Chicago installations) as part of an application rationalisation or consolidation project.

In a further development Safyr Version 6.1 has been certified by SAP to support metadata extraction and analysis from SAP systems running on SAP HANA®. This means that Safyr can help customers who are considering or implementing SAP HANA either as their DataWarehouse platform or for their transactional application.

Graham Simpson Managing Director of Silwood Technology commented:

“The goals for Safyr 6.1 were to accelerate time to value for customers and further improve its value in Enterprise scale data management projects such as data warehouse, big data, application rationalisation and migration, master data management and enterprise architecture. We have achieved this by making the product easier and quicker to use, adding new comparison features and incorporating support for SAP systems running on the SAP HANA platform.

We will continue to develop Safyr to provide organisations with a trusted source of knowledge about the data models which are the foundations of their Enterprise software packages. Having ready and understandable access to this information is becoming increasingly important as companies seek to gain further value from their investment in SAP and ORACLE applications”.
