Panaya Delivers New Quality Management Cloud for SAP, Oracle and Salesforce Applications

LAS VEGAS, April 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Panaya, the leader of cloud-based quality management solutions for enterprise applications, today launched the Quality Management Cloud, a new SaaS solution that ensures the continuous quality of enterprise applications.

Enterprise applications, such as ERP and CRM, are extremely complex but critical to business success. Implementing safe and timely change to these applications is a constant challenge for many organizations.

Carol Hardcastle, Research VP at Gartner, commented, "The net result of 15 years of continuous customization is that ERP implementations are now extremely 'arthritic,' incredibly slow and expensive to change — as well as being expensive to operate and support, they are also frequently error-prone due to the complexity of interactions between customizations."

The Panaya Quality Management Cloud addresses this concern for SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite and Salesforce customers by providing a uniquely simple solution that combines change impact simulation, code remediation, and collaborative testing tools for IT and the business.

Panaya's Quality Management Cloud is driven by "Cloud Wisdom," a big data analytics engine which captures, analyzes and identifies patterns across millions of IT activities to provide users with best practices harnessed from the industry. With Panaya's cloud-based engine, businesses are able to accelerate application change by leveraging the knowledge from organizations with similar experiences and projects. This provides businesses with a competitive advantage, giving them the resources to innovate while allowing for faster application changes and reduced maintenance costs.

"The Panaya Quality Management Cloud enables enhanced collaboration with our business users ensuring the ongoing quality of our systems and streamlining our testing processes," said Beth Carlson, IT Manager for Entegris. "We've standardized on Panaya to accelerate our SAP rollouts without compromising on risk – and we've never experienced any issues after go live. With major projects successfully completed, the Entegris team is keen to recommend Panaya to other SAP users – especially whenever testing comes into play."

The new Quality Management Cloud extends Panaya's offering by:

• Supporting cloud applications, enabling Salesforce professionals to manage change quickly and easily.
• Extending its support to cover a hybrid cloud landscape. Panaya's flagship Change Impact Simulation now covers all interfacing satellite systems in the application landscape.
• Expanding Panaya's Collaborative Testing to include more systems like Oracle E-Business Suite, enabling Oracle shops to overcome key test management and test execution challenges.

"More than 1,000 organizations, including a third of Fortune 500 companies, use Panaya to accelerate the delivery of application changes," said Doron Gerstel, Panaya's Chief Executive Officer.  "Our customers look to Panaya's Quality Management Cloud because it reduces the risk and cost of application change projects by at least 50 percent. It is a privilege to help our customers gain a competitive edge by reducing application maintenance cycles and free more resources for innovation."
