Panaya Disrupts ERP Change Deployment With New Cloud-Based Enterprise Testing

HACKENSACK, N.J., Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Panaya is proud to announce the release of Panaya Test Center. Panaya Test Center was developed with the expressed intent of disrupting the unacceptably slow-paced world of ERP Testing.

ABB Brazil Started to Use Panaya During 2014 and Saved 30% on Testing Time
Wagner Canto, IS Project Manager at ABB Brazil, is a big proponent of Panaya Test Center. "The new solution is very useful for ERP test management, including planning, execution and follow-up. The major challenge when testing integrated ERP solutions is to keep track of all activities, spread across multiple areas and key-users. The new service helps us to keep everything under control (changes in the scenarios, testing progress, defects, and fixes). We estimate a 30% savings in total testing time thanks to Panaya Test Center."

Easy Onboarding, Accelerated Manual Testing and Big Data
For the first time ever, the "on-boarding roadblock" is removed from the ERP testing equation. Panaya Test Center, which is 100% SaaS, enables a migration path from your local Excel/Word scripts to accelerated test scripts. Panaya makes it possible by analyzing an endless number of manual test cases of SAP and Oracle customers. This enables Panaya customers to instantly accelerate the tests of their next functional or maintenance project.

Panaya Test Center is tailored for managing test cycles, with a great focus on User Acceptance Tests, in the SAP and Oracle ecosystems. Panaya Test Center is fully capable of accelerating complex business process testing with different key users as well as accelerating the testing activities of a local department (Finance or Human Resources for example).

The powerful mix of quick onboarding, accelerated manual testing, and great adoption by business users, gives companies an unprecedented competitive edge.

Panaya Passes the Testing Baton
Panaya Test Center further disrupts ERP testing by facilitating the "passing of the baton" between testers, and constantly highlighting the bottlenecks, so test managers and project managers know where to focus their attention.

"From a business and IS perspective, Panaya´s new service allows us to be more efficient by making ERP testing less time consuming, filling the gap in the interaction between multiple partners during test execution and monitoring," says Arnaldo Acuyo, head of ERP services for ABB Brazil. 

Panaya CEO Doron Gerstel is a big proponent of Panaya Test Center's ability to accelerate testing and productivity. "By orchestrating and accelerating testing in the world of ERP, Panaya Test Center is a service that SAP and Oracle managers will love - SaaS that helps to reduce risk and increase efficiency, being integrated with our scoping and prioritization capabilities."

Seamless Testing Documentation
Companies that are regulated (FDA, SOX, EMA …) are required to thoroughly document the testing process. The documentation today is costly and tedious, up to a point of doubling the time required to test. Panaya Test Center fully documents every step of the testing process – generating comprehensive test evidence with no effort.

Panaya CEO Doron Gerstel adds, "Compliance and regulation are never going to disappear – quite the contrary. Whenever I meet with our customers, this burden is always there - tedious and critical at the same time. It is part of our job to solve it."
