ALL ADVANTAGES OF SIMDIA² AT A GLANCE
Enables complex SAP automation
With SimDia², you can automate any kind of complex data exchange processes in SAP that could previously only be realized manually or with elaborate programming. From simple field assignments over extensive task sequences up to complex migrations (e.g. from SAP R/3 to S/4HANA).
Over 90 % time savings
Compared to data transfers with manual data entry or individual programming, SimDia² reduces the time and effort by more than 90 %. With SimDia², even complex procedures can be created and made ready for automatic processing within just a few minutes.
Works with all SAP modules and transactions
SimDia² enables data exchange with all SAP modules and transactions as well as all masks, info types and dynpros out of the box – no matter if SAP standard, customized or entirely self-developed. No adaptation to SAP is required whatsoever.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“In our Europe-wide migration to SAP Automotive, SimDia² saves us almost two months of project time for each plant.”
“In the MAN project POWER, we are shifting the entire administration of our Europe-wide production chain to SAP. Among other things, the complete existing and very heterogeneous system landscape of our plants will be migrated to the SAP Automotive standard. Until recently, this required over 150 different migration programs and scripts. We have now been able to replace most of them with a single program – SimDia² – and thus greatly simplify our processes.
Since SimDia² is really easy to learn and use, a large part of the migration preparations can now be done by the respective departments themselves in a short time. This saves us almost 2 months of project time per plant – well over 6 months in total already.”
Olcay Yildirim, Head of subproject POWER, MAN Truck & Bus
“SimDia² has greatly simplified our work with SAP. It reduces our time expenditure, increases our data quality and pays off even for the smallest amounts of data.”
“As a medium-sized BPO specialist in human resources, we cannot and do not want to waste time on tailoring our software platforms – especially SAP – to our requirements. We are therefore very pleased to have found a competent and flexible partner in ERSAsoft, who enables us to simplify our work with SAP without costly time and financial investments.
With the help of SimDia², our employees are now able to import any data into SAP fully automatically. Due to its ease of use, this is worthwhile even with the smallest amounts of data. For we can not only drastically reduce the time required, but also increase the quality of our data, as transmission errors can no longer occur.
For us and especially for our customers, the use of SimDia² offers only advantages: Our specialists are relieved of routine work, and we can provide our customers with much faster and better service.”
Harald Strixner, CEO, Personal Partner Strixner
“ERSAsoft’s support deserves a lot of praise. Here the customer is really still king; something like that you’ll hardly ever find anymore.”
“We are currently using SimDia² in real estate management (SAP RE) and SAP controlling. Further areas of application are under consideration at the moment.
A big praise goes to the support. Not only before, but also after purchasing the software, you will receive immediate help – here the customer is really still king; something you unfortunately hardly ever find today.”
Alfred Grabosch, IT Coordinator, Bavarian chamber for social benefits and pensions
“SimDia² is really easy to use and implemented in a very short time. The extremely fast support provided by ERSAsoft has always been a great help in successfully accomplishing even complex tasks.”
“Before the introduction of SimDia², we had to resort to LSMW to import our Excel data into SAP. However, it became apparent that the use of LSMW was too time-consuming in the long run, especially for annual financial statements, but also for migration projects or master data changes. In addition, we quickly needed a solution for a current project that would enable us to complete our data import on time.
ERSAsoft provided us with a test version of SimDia² free of charge and supported us in its implementation. This enabled us to accomplish the data import “spontaneously” within the shortest possible time. The current requirement could therefore be fulfilled instantly. Otherwise, the IT department would have had to create several programs at short notice, which would probably have delayed the time-critical project.
After the successful test, we introduced SimDia² in various business areas. The installation-free operation and simplicity of SimDia² as well as the provided documentation and online videos were a great help. The training of our colleagues to use SimDia² on their own took less than 10 minutes. LSMW has not been in use here since then.”
Joachim Schütz, System Manager Accounting, German Society for International Cooperation
“For us, Simdia² is the simply smarter alternative to LSMW,
both in terms of user-friendliness and functionality!”
“We have been using SimDia² since 2015 as a clever alternative to LSMW for mass changes and entries of any kind in SAP. We particularly like the ease of use of SimDia² when creating and running import recordings. As a result, even individual mass changes can be made “on the fly” quickly and without any programming effort.
The many advanced functions of SimDia² compared to LSMW also prove extremely useful time and again. Particularly worth mentioning here are the mass maintenance of tables with automatic search function for the correct row and dynamic creation of new rows (e.g. for partner functions) or the easy mass maintenance of long texts (especially with the latest version of SimDia² via the SAP legacy row editor).
In addition, the very good support provided by ERSAsoft as well as the uncomplicated program updates with always new and useful functions round off the overall package for us.”
Alexander Keul, IT/Process Management, Leifheit
“SimDia² relieves both our specialist departments and our IT in numerous areas. And the support provided by ERSAsoft is exemplary!”
“We have a very broad spectrum of SAP applications at the Munich Municipal Hospital: Clinical system, purchasing, technology, real estate management RE-FX, and certainly more to come in the future.
SimDia² has met with a great response both in IT and in the specialist departments. The departments now finally have a tool at hand with which they can easily, quickly and safely create and revise large amounts of data. This relieves our IT of routine tasks and gives them more time to “cut down trees” – i.e. for process design and optimization.
Support is also exemplary. ERSAsoft still takes real personal care of their customers!”
Peter Zimmermann, Department Technology Management, Munich Municipal Hospital Group
CASE STUDY
The following is a real case from a large German industrial corporation:
Annual recruitment of 2400 trainees
For the annual recruitment of 2400 trainees, their basic data needs to be transferred into the SAP system. The collection and provision of the basic data takes place over the year and is distributed over about 80 individual Excel files. The data is transferred to SAP using transaction PA40 (personnel measures), where several screens must be filled in for each data set. This transfer was previously performed manually and took about 5 minutes per data set.
After the migration of this process to SimDia², the data transfer to SAP is now done fully automatic. The time required to prepare and start a transfer is less than 1 minute per Excel file. The import is then performed automatically in the background.
The process itself was successfully migrated in less than an hour – from unpacking the software over setting up a directory structure to the completion of the import project.
Comparison: Manual data input vs. Automatic SAP import with SimDia²
| Manual | With SimDia² | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual expenditure | ||
| 2400 data sets x 5 minutes per data set = 200 hours | 80 Excel tables x 1 Minute per table = 1.5 hours | |
| Annual costs | ||
| 200 hours x 60 Euro / hour* = 12,000 Euro | 1.5 hours x 60 Euro / hour* = 90 Euro |
*) Full-cost hourly rate assumed for calculation example
For our case, this translates into annual savings of 198.5 hours and 11,910 Euro – for one single process automated with SimDia². If you want to know just how much time and effort you can save in the future with SimDia², then simply use our savings calculator:
CALCULATE YOUR SAVINGS POTENTIAL NOW
Of course we are aware that your exact effort is influenced by many more values and can fluctuate considerably every month. Above all, the time and effort per imported data set depends on so many criteria (SAP transaction used, complexity of the data, number of data fields per data set etc.) that only an approximate average value can be given here.
The savings calculator should therefore only provide you with an orientation aid on how high your current effort for data exchange between Excel and SAP is, and whether the use of SimDia² is profitable for you. In general, if your current effort amounts to more than one hour per month, you should take a closer look at SimDia². We would be happy to tell you more about it!
We would like to point out in this regard that the price for SimDia² is not included in the result of the savings calculator. This is simply due to the fact that the license requirements are very different for each company and therefore a serious blanket price statement is not possible. For this reason, we will analyze your individual situation in detail together with you and, based on this, prepare an offer tailored to your company’s needs which exactly matches your intended use.
We will gladly take the time to analyze your individual use case together with you and find out how SimDia² can best support you. Just get in touch with us!
