Old Dominion Freight Line Chooses Newmerix to Streamline and Automate SAP(R) Change Management Processes for Compliance
Old Dominion Saved More Than 20 Hours of Manpower a Week While
Freeing Up Resources With Newmerix Automate! for SAP
SUPERIOR, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Newmerix(TM) today announced that Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.,
a leading national less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, has deployed
Newmerix Automate! for SAP to provide consistent and business-driven
change management as well as enforceable Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Prior to implementing the Newmerix solution, Old Dominion spent
significant time managing more than 50 change requests each week. Old
Dominion manually tracked changes to SAP including: change request
origin, change requestor, change review process and change approvers.
Old Dominion chose Newmerix Automate! for SAP because it enabled them
to automatically create a compliant repository of documentation for
each change request while creating tamper-proof processes and
verifiable process documentation. Furthermore, because Newmerix
solutions are certified by SAP, Old Dominion had an instant validation
on the quality of the technology.
"Using Newmerix Automate! for SAP allows Old Dominion to not only
be Sarbanes-Oxley compliant but also saves my team more than 20 hours
a week that were previously spent managing and recording each change,"
said Don Hampton, Basis Administrator at Old Dominion Freight Line.
"With the amount of time we have already saved, we have redirected our
focus within our business team to other mission critical items."
Old Dominion began their search in January of 2007 and tested
various point solutions but none were completely SAP certified or
provided the same flexibility and customization as Newmerix's
offering. Newmerix Automate! for SAP was installed in March 2007 and
was fully implemented and operational in one week. Immediately Old
Dominion experienced time and resource savings with the advanced
workflow and auditing capabilities that are a part of Newmerix
Automate! for SAP.
"Businesses realize that customizing their ERP applications to fit
contemporary needs is a significant problem and drain on scarce IT
resources," said Dan Gannon, CEO, Newmerix. "Add to this the
complexity associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and the problem
has far reaching implications. Organizations like Old Dominion Freight
Line turn to Newmerix for a smarter way to facilitate application
changes to meet strategic business goals."
