For Dramatic Automated Testing Results with Worksoft Certify and
Consulting Services
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Worksoft, Inc., a premier provider of life cycle management
solutions for ERP systems, announced today that Dow Corning, a global
leader in silicon-based technology and innovation, has recognized
Worksoft for outstanding service in automating testing across a global
SAP project using Worksoft Certify, the company's patented automated
testing solution, and for Worksoft's premier consulting services.
In a year of managing a high level of change, Dow Corning wanted
to automate their SAP ECC 6.0 upgrade across a global landscape and
selected Worksoft because of its revolutionary patented technology,
which, unlike traditional code-based applications, stores all assets
as data that can be quickly configured, analyzed and maintained,
without any scripting or custom code. During implementation, Worksoft
consultants teamed with onsite and off-shore consultants from
Cognizant and a Dow Corning team of business process stewards to
automate approximately 75% of critical business processes, which
included more than 150 end-to-end test processes, in just 12 weeks.
"Dow Corning is pleased that our partnership with Worksoft enabled
us to automate end-to-end processes and speed up project
implementation and completion," said Jeff Duly, enterprise architect
for Dow Corning. "The solution has been easy for our users to learn,
use, and maintain, so it is quickly becoming part of our existing
change management process, which is allowing us to offshore testing
and ultimately free up valuable business analyst and subject matter
experts to focus on activities that transform the business."
"In these uncertain times, innovative companies like Dow Corning
recognize that building for the future by implementing a comprehensive
approach to application life cycle management allows them to
reallocate resources to areas that will reap immediate and long-term
reward, thereby increasing their IT capacity to service more
functionality, geography, people, and products," said Bruce Johnson,
president and CEO, Worksoft, Inc.
