Reliance on Full Sandboxes can Decrease Productivity
• Drag on development agility• Project timelines can suffer• Customer ROI can degrade
• Full sandbox creation/refresh is slow • More full sandbox copies causes delays for all customers
• Post Refresh Tasks are Time Consuming
• Configuration Sandbox is too limited• Customers try to duplicate their on premise environments
How do we increase Productivity with Sandboxes?
• Give the User Control over Sandbox Creation
• Improve Sandbox Copy Performance
• Decrease Refresh Interval
Product Innovation: Sandbox Templates
• More Control Over Data Copied
• Potential to Improve Copy Performance
• Potential to Decrease Post Refresh Tasks
