Ascot, Berkshire UK, June 7, 2013; Silwood Technology Limited today announced its SAFYR version 6.0 solution for rapid discovery and scoping of metadata in SAP® applications has achieved SAP certification as powered by the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform. The solution has been proven to integrate with SAP solutions and provides speed and clarity of insight into metadata within SAP solutions, which can help to accelerate the delivery of information management projects and increase trust in the resulting data.

The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that SAFYR 6.0 integrates with SAP NetWeaver 7.01 as an add-on to the ABAP® programming language. SAFYR provides customers with a means to browse and understand SAP data tables. Tables and relationships can be located easily and placed into subject areas. The subject areas can then be used to populate a range of metadata tools. Only metadata is read and then transferred to SAFYR by using ABAP functionality provided by the SAFYR connector.

“We are delighted to announce the successful achievement of certification of SAFYR 6.0 as powered by SAP NetWeaver,” said Graham Simpson, Managing Director, Silwood Technology Limited. “The ability of SAFYR to realise the business potential of assets provided by solutions from SAP with other vendors’ solutions and in enterprise information management projects will prove highly beneficial to current and future customers.”

With this, the solution can deliver 100% accurate metadata, even with customised systems, and can allow the results to be used with other tools such as SAP Sybase® PowerDesigner® software as well as data-integration solutions.
