SUPERIOR, Colo. - (Nov. 09, 2005) - Newmerix, a provider of application quality and change management software for PeopleSoft, and Tescom, the global leader in independent software quality assurance (QA) and testing, today announced a partnership to provide PeopleSoft customers with QA solutions that solve the specific deployment and maintenance issues they are facing as part of Oracle.
"Oracle´s acquisition of PeopleSoft, along with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, has created a great deal of extra work, distraction and uncertainty for PeopleSoft managers," said Edward Roberto, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of Newmerix. "We kept hearing the same issues from our customers: how do we get our PeopleSoft implementation back on track, how do we get costs under control, and what the heck do we do to prepare for Fusion?"
According to Sarah Bajc, Managing Director of Tescom USA, her team was hearing the same issues. The partners combined their QA methodologies and automated testing and change control software into solutions designed to help PeopleSoft customers with four of their most critical challenges:
Long-term QA planning: Mapping a low-risk plan that leverages the Oracle PeopleSoft/Fusion roadmap, but avoids costly, hard-to-manage technologies.
QA for Sarbanes-Oxley: Change control and test automation to streamline the labor-intensive effort of complying with Sarbanes-Oxley in PeopleSoft.
ERP Rescue: Unique "rescue" solutions to turn around PeopleSoft projects that are over budget, missing deadlines or failing to provide expected outcomes.
Ongoing Cost Control: QA methodologies and tools to cut the ongoing time and effort required to upgrade, configure, test, and manage PeopleSoft.
"Our offerings are unique because they are specific to the issues PeopleSoft customers encounter," said Bajc. "Nothing about our solution methodology or technology is generic. It´s exactly what our PeopleSoft customers need, exactly when they need it."
The partners are bringing their expertise and experience on the road with executive breakfast seminars designed to educate executives and managers relying on PeopleSoft about the pros, cons and viable alternatives in managing PeopleSoft. The first event, The Next Four Years: Changing the Economics of Owning PeopleSoft, will be in Atlanta on November 18, 2005.
"With more than one hundred ERP QA and Testing project experiences at Tescom and Newmerix´s deep technological ties to Oracle, the event offers incredible insight and value for PeopleSoft decision makers," said Bajc.
