Shiseido chooses Panaya for IT transformation project

Cosmetics firm Shiseido has chosen Panaya for its IT transformation project, which will involve the use of the Panaya Test Centre.

While the cosmetics firm has utilised Panaya to accomplish an enterprise resource planning (ERP) migration within five months, it has finished user acceptance testing (UAT) across its European division within five weeks.

Shiseido's EMEA technical director Sébastien Hebert said: "To ensure we go live smoothly with our business-critical applications, we had to mobilise over 80 business users spread across 11 countries in Europe to perform user acceptance testing.

"Panaya helped us save 30% of our testing effort while improving the quality of our testing."

Shiseido has found a way to manage the business process testing from an end-to-end approach with the help of test acceleration provided by Panaya Test Centre.

Panaya's EMEA sales executive vice president Tim Bisley said: "Panaya Test Center addresses the gaps that traditional testing tools like HPQC can create, which is why more companies like Shiseido are coming onboard.

"In addition, with many enterprises worldwide considering a move to S/4HANA, we are pleased with the quick adoption of Panaya Test Center in the past few weeks.

"This is a next-generation platform for ERP change, strengthened by efficient business user testing, which dramatically cuts the time of a lengthy upgrade project."

Recently, Shiseido used Panaya Test Center to organise and implement 840 unit tests and 850 business process tests with 4,400 transactions recorded in just under two months.
