Dunelm Uses ActiveControl to Gain Greater Control and Visibility of SAP Change
About Dunelm
Dunelm is the #1 homewares retailer in the UK offering over 30,000 product lines both online and across more than 170 physical stores. Their SAP landscape consists of both cloud-hosted and on-premise R/3 systems with ECC, EWM, and BW modules. Each module has five development systems comprised of sandbox, development, QA, pre-production, and production with multi-track development for many projects. As the company grew, it became increasingly difficult to manage this complex landscape, especially with numerous external resources.
The Challenge
Due to the complexity of their SAP landscape and the heavy reliance on external partners to help with development and maintenance, Dunelm was struggling with frequent production issues and delays that were hindering their ability to deliver value. A historical lack of governance compounded these issues.
The Goal
Dunelm sought a tool that could facilitate their SAP DevOps transformation to enable faster delivery of higher quality SAP changes. As their non-SAP landscape migrated to AWS, they needed to be able to deliver value faster with less risk of production downtime. The migration also required a tight implementation timeline.
The Solution: ActiveControl
Dunelm selected ActiveControl as their SAP DevOps automation tool to provide them with greater governance, control, and quality across their SAP change management. Major production issues were significantly reduced due to ActiveControl’s 70+ in-depth analyzers that enable the detection of defects earlier in the development cycle. ActiveControl also provided a single source of truth for greater visibility and collaboration.
