SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner AG : SNP Transformation Backbone® Achieves Oracle Validated Integration with Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

SNP Transformation Backbone® Achieves Oracle Validated Integrati- on with Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

For more than 30 years, companies have relied upon SNP to ena- ble ERP transformations driven by mergers and acquisitions, cor- porate restructurings, consolidations and chart of accounts reor- ganizations, helping to save them significant effort, time, and costs while minimizing risk.
To achieve Oracle Validated Integration, Oracle partners are re- quired to meet a stringent set of requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the customers. Transformation Back- bone's integration with Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 offers an automated, accurate transformation of master and trans- actional data while preserving system integrity. Companies can now perform major complex data transformations in considerably less time.

"It's all about a scalable, agile approach to strategic change within the ERP system.", said Matt Geffken, director, Business Land- scape Transformations, SNP GL Associates. "Our clients are look- ing for streamlined reporting, business process harmonization and rapid accounting-close cycle times. Using Transformation Back- bone, SNP's clients realize these outcomes through complete da- ta history transformation, migration, consolidation, and cleansing, all within the industry-trusted standards set by Oracle Validated Integration."
"Achieving Oracle Validated Integration gives our customers con- fidence that the integration between SNP Transformation Back- bone and Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is functionally sound and performs as tested," said Kevin O'Brien, senior direc- tor, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. "For solutions deployed on- premise, in the cloud, or both, Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process that helps to reduce deployment risk and improves the user experience of the partner's integrated offering."
SNP's proprietary tool, Transformation Backbone, can help reduce the duration and total cost of IT transformation significantly for cli- ents running Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 systems, worldwide. For many organizations, transformation projects have required software development and costly, time consuming testing cycles. By using this automated process, Transformation Back- bone can help eliminate development and reduce the staffing and timeframes needed for transformation.
