Leading Solutions for Business Process Optimization, Change Intelligence, Test
Management and Test Automation Support Global IT Initiatives for Centralized
Operations and Superior E-Commerce Experiences
Panaya, the industry leader for SAP S4/HANA Change Intelligence and Test
Management solutions, and Worksoft, the industry's leading provider of
end-to-end enterprise automation for packaged applications, announced today
that their joint solution has been selected by Shiseido, one of the world's
largest cosmetics manufacturers, to accelerate and de-risk their SAP S/4HANA
implementation as part of their unified global e-commerce strategy. The
Cosmetics powerhouse Shiseido chose Panaya and Worksoft's fully integrated
solution delivering market-leading automated process discovery and testing,
Impact Analysis and test management to futureproof and expedite their move to
S/4HANA at a significantly higher ROI than other leading testing solutions the
company considered. The Panaya and Worksoft solution seamlessly links changes
to automated testing of business processes, resulting in up to a 99% reduction
in defect risk, 98% reduction in test scope and 85% reduction in testing time.
The implementation of the joint solution from Panaya and Worksoft aligns with
the goals of Shiseido's worldwide business transformation program, known as the
FOCUS Program ("First One Connected & Unified Shiseido"), a digital
transformation initiative to centralize the management of global IT operations
and standards across its 38 countries to drive growth in a post-digital era
with a focus on superior customer experiences.
"The ability to change and adapt our IT systems with maximum speed has become
imperative to keeping pace with an evolving marketplace and shifting consumer
demands for digital experiences. With deep SAP expertise and superior
functionality, the joint solution from Panaya and Worksoft is an ideal fit for
our FOCUS Program to help us analyze our changes, get real-time reporting, and
accelerate and automate our testing", said Venkatesh Somasundaram, Global
Business Solution Lead of the Focus Program at Shiseido. "The solution allows
us to accelerate transformation while maintaining the superior quality our
customers expect from Shiseido. Given our six-year relationship with Panaya and
after evaluating other leading testing tools, the fully integrated solution
from Worksoft and Panaya was the clear choice to match the velocity of our
program by keeping risks of deployment under control."
"Panaya and Worksoft were key enablers to accelerate our testing automation as
we migrating to a single global IT platform in Shiseido, under the FOCUS
program", added Francois Keet, Vice President, Business Transformation at
Shiseido.
"We're pleased to continue to assist multinationals like Shiseido to keep one
step ahead of their SAP S4/HANA rollout," said Zinette Ezra, Chief Product
Officer at Panaya. "With so many unknowns in an S/4HANA migration project,
ensuring zero defects when going live while optimizing cost and quality can
make a tough project that much easier," she concluded.
"Change Intelligence from Panaya combined with our Connective Automation
delivers the industry's most robust and effective way for enterprises to
futureproof change and eliminate risk in major digital transformation projects
like S/4HANA," said Worksoft chief product and strategy officer, Shoeb Javed.
"With the join solution in place, Shiseido has the ability to analyze changes,
get real-time reporting, and automate testing—at the pace of innovation their
forward-thinking strategies requires."
