SAP System Copy Workshop PDF

This document discusses automating the SAP system copy process. It begins by asking common pain points around the manual system copy process such as length, frequency, resources required. It then outlines the challenges of the manual process being highly manual, error prone, and fragmented. The document discusses the need to automate the process due to more frequent and complex copies being required. It proposes end-to-end automation of the pre-copy preparation, core copy execution, and post-copy verification steps. Example benefits seen by a customer who implemented the automation include reducing the process time from 14 days to 5 days and reducing staff hours required from 20 per day to 2 total.
