25 Backoffice Associates Testimonials

"Historically, everyone thought of data as an IT responsibility. But we emphasized to them that the business needs to drive the rules and standards, and there are real implications if the users don’t own the data strategy."

“There were so many barriers and data rules in place within our SAP systems that manually deleting the Canada Bread data in our SAP systems would have been extremely time consuming, costly and difficult without the help of BackOffice Associates.”

“Previously, our validation process was manual and very laborious, but with the centralized portal in place, our time is now spent on value-added work as the automation process is seamless and the reports are available on the portal every morning.”

"Our objective was to build web-enabled applications that integrated naturally into the SAP NetWeaver platform to capitalize on our existing mySAP ERP and SAP NetWeaver assets."

"SAP requires complete accuracy with master data from the beginning. These exacting standards were a whole new world for Movado. A world that would change the way the company handles their new internal business processes."

"The data stewardship process had to change. The BackOffice solution provided us the means to initiate efficiency in the material master for global data at Lilly."

"All the careful data planning led us to be smarter about overall resource planning. BackOffice brought solutions, methodology and experts to bridge a critical time in our SAP project and go-live to keep us moving forward and respond faster, better and more efficiently."

"Having the right data in the right format is as critical as having the right system in place, and this was one of the most effective implementations I've been a part of."

"I don't understand why everyone doesn't use Quadrate. Why waste time and money to employ expensive resources to work with your data when there's a toolset available that can do it so quickly and easily?"

"We have used other toolsets in some of our processes, but you need to be very technical to work with them effectively. We’re responsible for getting our data into SAP but we’re not technical people. We needed an easy way of uploading data. We were also starting to get backlogs of work because the processes we were using were too manually intensive and slow."

“We realized that there were a few critical data related issues that we needed to address integrity of legacy beginning balances from different systems, correctness of ongoing transactions, and completeness of transactions booked. The situation necessitated a quick diagnostic process followed by speedy follow through action in the form of an initial data assessment that is backed by a partnership until go-live. BackOffice presented a methodology and solution that reduced the time cycle from six to nine months to less than five months.”

"We mostly run Mirroring operations on DBMoto, sourcing data from the applications that run on the AS/400 and feeding it to SQL Server. We have approximately 200 active mirroring operations that run continuously. Many of these we run at 10 times the design speed, i.e., we read the IBM i logs on a 3-second interval (instead of a typical 30-second interval). We have been doing this for years now and it runs fine."

“Using the evaluation tool, we implemented a majority of our solution within an hour.”

“Instead of using SQL replication and having to battle with unknown errors with little to no support, we needed a better solution. And with such a small team, we needed to reduce our time re-inventing the wheel and instead find something that works.”

“DBMoto provided the functionality we were looking for and has the flexibility to provide any functionality we may need in the future.”
