Siamease automates SAP transactions. It executes from within SAP and running as a layer above your SAP transactions.

Designed primarily for non-technical business analysts, it is very easy to use and requires no programming.

Offering a wide range of benefits to all SAP implementations regardless of the age of the system.

With 10 years experience Siamease has grown and offers a serious value for money package.

Siamease can be used for the following:-

• Data Migration
• Integration Testing
• Stress Testing
• Interfacing (simple and IDOC)
• Mass data maintenance
• Automating transactions from user exits.
• Simplifying complex transactions for easy data capture.

As a Test tool, Siamease allows business analysts to automate business processes.

For testing, data can be readily saved into the Siamease scenario database.

Siamease encapsulates the process with the scenario data to fully automate a multitude of  business scenarios.

This equates to a powerful risk tool and is invaluable in the assessment of upgrades and hot-packages.

 

Siamease is an advanced data migration tool.

It offers a wide range of functionality that facilitates simple transaction postings through to comprehensive process oriented data migrations.
 

With 10 years experience, Siamease incorporates features such as :-

• Auto corrections to data errors
• Validations
• Dynamic and static conversions
• Bulk data postings to volume transactions such as FB50.
• Transportable solutions incorporating validated data along with the data migration tasks for posting.

All Siamease tasks are automatically BAPI and IDOC enabled without any ABAP programming or configuration.

Key advantage here is that the business analyst can define, test and implement solutions that are fully interface compliant.

 

Siamease generates ABAP solutions that can be embedded into other ABAP programs.

Solutions that are integrated into Interfaces, Internet Solutions, user exits and enhancements or used to simplify complex transactions for certain business areas.

Siamease can collect data from SAP tables via a user defined search criteria. The results can then be corrected via Siamease automating a SAP transaction for the correction. 

 

 

Overall approach
Over the last 10 years we have actively looked at both Migration and Testing activities. Numerous pitfalls, costly steps and reoccurring problems have been identified and eliminated or reduced through the use of Siamease.

Siamease simplifies, guides and empowers.

Wizards
Siamease can build a solution in under 3 minutes. There are wizards and builders to guide new users.

 

Clipboard
The data preparation for instance allows data to be captured into a spreadsheet; highlight the data and copy to the clipboard. Siamease can then read bulk data from the clipboard and post without any fuss.

 

Auto-correction
Auto-corrections will auto-magically fix typical errors introduced from spreadsheets. Siamease can add leading zeroes to codes or apply working day rules to dates that cannot be determined outside of SAP.

Siamease has a unique management of business processes. Complex processes can be broken down to easier, manageable steps.
Siamease handles the data flow between and around these steps to ensure that the entire business process is still cohesive.

Validation Layer
Siamease has a fully integrated validation layer that is easy to use and adds enormous power to any migration. The validation layer can apply conditional rules to your data.

Dynamic conversion
The validation layer is designed to upload fresh raw data and convert this to SAP compliant data. This conversion may consist of simple static mapping or dynamic mapping to convert legacy codes to new SAP codes.

Repetitive Tasks
Process oriented rules repeat certain steps iteratively generating unique data for each iteration.

Training Data
This is especially useful for building training data or mass integration testing.

Stress Testing
Iterating a business process is a powerful basis stress tool.

Problem
Whether you are doing data migration or integration testing the key waste of time is waiting for other teams to capture data so that your part can be tested / developed. Integration Testing is often not achievable on a repetitive basis due to the demands on the people and the time demand within the team.

Solution
Siamease solves this by allows each team to work independently. It also encapsulates their intellectual capital so that other people can run a Siamease task instead of a person painfully recapturing data for other teams.

Problem
Testing is often hindered by two factors. The first is the knowledge of how to capture a process. The second is the knowledge of the data required to capture the process. A consultant may know the SAP transaction well but will be completely in the dark as to the data requirements.

Solution
Siamease solves this by allowing bulk data to be saved into a Scenario database. This database links the intellectual capital stored in Siamease to the data required to capture the process.
Scenario data can contain good and bad data and can be extended over time.
Both the Siamease tasks and the related data are fully transportable. Thus allowing a built solution to be deployed onto several systems.

Conversion Rules
Rule-based conversions allow raw legacy data to be converted to SAP compliant data. Conversions and mapping ensure that the time from extract to post is extremely short. The key benefit is the avoidance of manual conversion techniques often required to be repeated numerous times before go-live.

Scenario Database
Siamease stores prepared /converted data into its own database. This ensures that spreadsheet data is safeguarded within the SAP database. Complete solutions can be migrated to QA and other systems such as the Training system. Posting can be done by a Data Administrator that does not have to prepare the data for each data load.

Results Database
Siamease keeps a dynamic and active audit trail. This audit trail serves as a dynamic mapping table being capable of converting legacy codes to newly created SAP codes. "On-the-fly" mapping without development.

A strong point of Siamease is in its ability to post bulk data to line item transactions.

To elaborate, it can post Bills of Materials, Stock Take-on, Financial account balance take-on, Sales Orders, Release strategies, HR org structures and many others.

 

Typical transaction recordings of 2 line items usually only produce a 2 line item posting. Siamease can see the underlying user requirement and facilitates a many line to one transaction posting and without requiring any ABAP / Pseudo coding.

Non-technical
Siamease allows business analysts to perform their own data migration within their own timelines.

Team dependancy
This drastically reduces the time wasted while one team waits for another team or worse being queued by the development team.

Prep and Transport
Migration data can be pre-validated and converted ahead of time. Prepared data can be tested and transported between systems. Thus reducing the time taken to redo migration activities.

Overall saving is in time. Usually time is wasted on two activities

Repetitive tasks
Preparing a data load, testing, then having to do the entire activity again and again.

Preparing data
Data conversions are often done on PC's. These conversions must be redone manually each time fresh data is extracted from the legacy system.

Routine Builder
An embedded editor allows developers to code simple routines that can be used for conversions, validations and audit trails.

Remote
Siamease can pull data from remote systems via RFC using Siamease DXV Remote (tm) .

Mapping
Siamease has one of the easiest mapping tools on the market. The mapping tables are built using English type rules and no technical knowledge is required. Static mapping tables can also be called from other ABAP programs.

Transport Manager
Siamease has an integrated transport manager.

Siamease generates ABAP solutions that can be embedded into other ABAP programs.

Siamease works on almost all SAP modules. It handles custom defined transactions as well as modified SAP transactions.

Siamease is especially suited to application areas that have little data maintenance / migration tools.
