Synthesized has announced a strategic partnership with AI consultancy 8thElement to help enterprises improve AI testing and deployment through AI-native test data automation. The collaboration integrates Synthesized's technology into 8thElement's AIM (Assess, Implement, Mature) framework, enabling organizations to validate AI models, agents, and workflows using production-realistic data while protecting sensitive information.
Synthesized announced a strategic partnership with 8thElement, becoming the consultancy's preferred test data automation partner. Under the agreement, Synthesized's AI-native test data platform will be integrated throughout 8thElement's AIM (Assess, Implement, Mature) framework, providing enterprises with a structured path from AI readiness assessments to production deployment and ongoing optimization.
The joint offering enables organizations to validate AI models, intelligent agents, and business workflows using production-realistic synthetic and masked data without exposing sensitive production information in development and testing environments.
According to the companies, many enterprise AI projects perform well during pilot stages but encounter challenges when deployed into production environments. Testing is often limited by restricted access to production data, conventional masking techniques that break data relationships, or synthetic datasets that fail to represent real-world conditions.
The partnership aims to overcome these issues by enabling organizations to test AI systems against complex, rare, and statistically accurate scenarios while maintaining referential integrity and protecting sensitive data.
The solution supports both SAP and non-SAP environments, including SAP S/4HANA migration projects, application modernization initiatives, and enterprise agentic AI deployments.
The integrated solution aligns with every stage of 8thElement's AIM framework.
Synthesized's schema intelligence identifies sensitive information, data relationships, and quality issues across enterprise environments. These insights support AI readiness assessments covering governance, processes, data quality, and model preparation.
Organizations gain access to production-realistic synthetic and masked datasets that preserve statistical accuracy and referential integrity. Automated audit trails also support governance requirements and implementation reviews.
Continuous test data provisioning enables regression testing, model drift detection, and ongoing validation as enterprise AI systems evolve through software updates, SAP migrations, and expanding AI workflows.
The partnership is designed to help organizations reduce exposure to sensitive production data by generating synthetic or masked datasets for development and testing activities.
The companies state that these capabilities can support compliance initiatives related to GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and change-control processes associated with SOX by providing automated audit evidence and governance documentation. However, they note that synthetic data complements, rather than replaces, organizations' legal and compliance reviews.
"Most enterprises are still grading their AI on a test that reality never sets," said Santosh Rajput, President of 8thElement. "A clean dataset may prove that a model runs, but it does not prove that the system is ready for production. Readiness depends on the quality and realism of the data used to validate it. By bringing Synthesized into the AIM framework, we are helping enterprises close that gap and build AI programs that can scale."
"Enterprise AI programs often struggle because teams cannot safely and realistically test systems against the complexity of production data," said Nicolai Baldin, CEO and Founder of Synthesized. "Together with 8thElement, we are operationalizing that missing layer. Embedding AI-native test data automation throughout the AIM lifecycle enables enterprises to validate AI systems continuously under realistic conditions without compromising privacy or delivery speed. That is an important step in moving AI from experimentation to dependable infrastructure."
The joint AIM and Synthesized engagements are available immediately. Initial focus areas include AI-driven application modernization, enterprise test data automation, SAP transformation programs, and agentic AI deployments within regulated industries
