Case Study: Newell Rubbermaid achieves a faster, on-time SAP ERP 6.0 upgrade with Panaya

Newell Rubbermaid slashes ERP upgrade issues by 95% with Panaya

Newell Rubbermaid, a global consumer products company, faced a critical challenge: its team had a strict deadline to commit to an ERP 6.0 upgrade to access new functionality. If too many issues remained unresolved by the deadline, the upgrade would be postponed. Global Director Glenn Griffin needed a solution to ensure the project could proceed on time without the high costs and extended timeline of traditional methods.

The company chose Panaya for its upgrade support. Using Panaya's analysis, the team identified and manually fixed the necessary custom code issues, which drastically reduced testing problems. This resulted in a 95% reduction in Testing Report Problems (TPRs) compared to a previous upgrade and allowed the project to be completed in half the expected time, finishing two months early and greatly pleasing company leadership.
