What EPI-USE Labs does

EPI-USE Labs is a private, employee-owned global software and services company specializing exclusively in the SAP ecosystem, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Manchester, United Kingdom, as a subsidiary of Group Elephant Limited. The company serves 1,900+ enterprise clients across 50 countries — including Heineken, Nestlé, BT Group, Carrefour, Nikon, and American Airlines — with a portfolio of proprietary software products (Data Sync Manager for test data management, Query Manager for HR/payroll reporting, Data Privacy Suite for GDPR compliance, PRISM for selective S/4HANA migration, Soterion for GRC, and Archive Central for system decommissioning) layered on top of managed services for cloud hosting (AWS/Azure), Basis administration, and RISE with SAP engagements.

The underlying technology stack consists of SAP-certified proprietary tools that operate natively within SAP HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, and S/4HANA environments, with cloud delivery on AWS and Azure infrastructure. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 27017, SOC 2 Type 2, and HIPAA/HITECH compliance certifications, making it eligible for regulated enterprise and public sector buyers. Revenue mechanics combine recurring software licensing (10,000+ licenses sold, 97% renewal rate), recurring managed services contracts, and project-based professional services for cloud migrations, S/4HANA transformations, and custom SAP BTP development.

The go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales targeting large SAP-running organizations, supported by an INSPIRE user-group event series, content marketing, webinars, and a June 2026 partnership with Carahsoft as Master Government Aggregator for US public sector distribution. Leadership includes founder and CEO Phillip Stofberg, Chief Revenue Officer Warren Eiserman, and SVP of Global Product Portfolio Paul Snyman. EPI-USE Labs is part of Group Elephant, a largely employee-owned conglomerate of 4,200+ people that also funds the Elephants, Rhinos & People (ERP) nonprofit through 1% of EPI-USE revenue.
