Business Goal

The efficiency of both demo and test data is key to moving our business faster. We have fragmented locations where these data resides and are provisioned. There is also a knowledge gap between what is used in technical sales and what is used in test and validation.

We will benefit from tooling efficiency together and broaden visiblity of demo data in the field and test data in Engineering.
