Deloitte and Panaya Enter Strategic Alliance to Accelerate Oracle EBS Upgrades and Deployments

NEW YORK, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte and Panaya announced today a strategic alliance to give Oracle E‑Business Suite customers the power to create more business impact by reducing the cost and risk of application change projects, without compromising on stability or quality.

Many Oracle E‑Business Suite implementations involve custom code and dependencies with other enterprise applications, making it time and labor intensive to find and fix issues triggered by upgrades, patches, customizations, rollouts and application changes. Deloitte will use the Panaya Quality Management Cloud to help its clients accelerate their testing activities, deployments, and overall project delivery.

"The Panaya toolset can save our clients' money by expediting the upgrade implementation process," said Roxana Rascoe, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and U.S. Consulting Technology Alliance leader. "It allows us to carefully pinpoint which functionality will break, how to fix it and what to test. This level of detail about the Oracle E-Business Suite environment, including related applications, gives our testing professionals the visibility they need to help mitigate risk, accelerate delivery and put the project on a fast track."

Panaya offers solutions for enterprise business applications such as Oracle E‑Business Suite. The Panaya Quality Management Cloud is a Software-as-a-Service offering that expedites application change projects, allowing enterprises to execute their projects at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional approaches. The Panaya Quality Management Cloud SaaS offering includes change impact simulation, code remediation and collaborative testing tools, and is a leading solution for enterprise application change projects. In May, Panaya's leadership won a 2014 Red Herring Top 100 award for Cloud Computing – North America.

"Deloitte brings our clients a trusted source for Oracle E-Business Suite project delivery," said Doron Gerstel, Panaya's chief executive officer. "Deloitte's tested application delivery skills and recognized leadership in Oracle implementations make it an obvious choice as a Panaya alliance."
