Case Study: Mercedes-Benz achieves 50% time savings in development and testing with Panaya

Mercedes-Benz Takes a Smooth Ride to ERP 6.0

Mercedes-Benz USA, facing end-of-life support for SAP 4.6C, needed to migrate to ERP 6.0 on NetWeaver to simplify a growing, web-enablement–driven application landscape. Sanjeev Sharma’s team chose to perform the upgrade entirely in-house, creating pressure to minimize disruption and avoid overtaxing development and functional staff.

They used Panaya’s CloudQuality suite to pinpoint exactly which applications and interfaces required change, allowing developers to focus on a small subset of code. The result: roughly 50% less time spent in development and testing, unit testing reduced to a single iteration, and 80–90% of potential problems resolved before formal testing.
