Sucid Corporation, the leader in SAP testing, announced today that Philip Morris USA has selected Sucid to provide the products and services for load, stress and performance testing of a new Philip Morris SAP Business Warehouse (BW) application.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 25, 2005 -- Sucid Corporation, the leader in SAP testing, announced today that Philip Morris USA has selected Sucid to provide the products and services for load, stress and performance testing of a new Philip Morris SAP Business Warehouse (BW) application.

The application to be tested was developed by IBM for Philip Morris. Wholesaler data is gathered, normalized and loaded into the SAP Business Warehouse. The SAP BW system holds three years of distribution information, and two terabytes of storage are required to house the information.

Under the agreement, Sucid provided a SaaS (Software as a Service) license to the Sucid Process Modeler, Sucid Load, Sucid Analytics and Sucid Reports products, as well as the professional services needed to deliver a complete solution. Sucid modeled 165 transactions representing 20 areas of data analysis, scaling from 20 to 300 concurrent users using both stateful and stateless HTTP models.

Working with IBM and Philip Morris, Sucid identified operating system changes, SAP kernel changes and SAP instance tuning opportunities to enable a smooth application rollout. Sucids testing also identified opportunities to rebuild data aggregates that would reduce memory and CPU consumption by the application.

We are very pleased to partner with Philip Morris USA to help ensure SAP application quality and business continuity," said David Wilson, President and CEO of Sucid Corporation. Philip Morris has been a great customer for us and has played an important role in helping us to enhance and extend our SAP test automation product line."
