“We were looking for a system that could create one integrated version of the truth for all of us. We required a new system that could be quickly implemented, very flexible, and able to scale to meet the demands of our growing business. We also needed to work with an implementation partner and a system that were no strangers to this highly specialized industry of ours. We felt that, of all the choices, the QuickWear system made, by far, the most sense for our business.”

Julie Wood — President, KNG

“CIBER was a great partner to implement our changeover to an SAP solution-based system. Omnitrans considers this to be one of the most successful enterprise applications ever rolled out for our organization. Due to the current economic climate, Omnitrans has experienced an increase in ridership. This implementation has allowed us to better serve our passengers.”

Durand Rall — CEO, Omnitrans

“We are excited to be working with CIBER as they are a leader in implementations of SAP Apparel and Footwear with a significant reference base. CIBER’s impressive capabilities will enable us to better serve our customers and allow our processes to run more smoothly and effectively.”

David Blakelock — Vice President of Information Technology, Boston Apparel Group

“The expansion of our efforts with CIBER is a logical progression of the long-term relationship between our companies. Leveraging CIBER’s attention to detail and understanding of our environment, we continue to improve customer service, deliver significant projects and strengthen our JSOX control environment.”

George Dramalis — Associate Vice President, Information Systems/CIO, Sharp Electronics Corporation

“Because of the joint efforts of the General Moly implementation team and CIBER, General Moly now has a functional ERP system that is providing us the opportunity to implement and refine our business processes. Our choice to use CIBER for implementation of the SAP solution, as well as the complete hosting and IT outsourcing services, allows us to have a single, integrated platform. We will continue to partner with CIBER and share our mining expertise to help them further refine their mining solution.”

Donna Peske — IT Manager, General Moly

“Partnering with CIBER will allow us to focus on developing the Mt. Hope project, and leave the management of our SAP implementation with a fully qualified implementation partner. Their extensive experience with the SAP Mining solution made them a natural choice to partner with for our operations.”

Lee Shumway — Director of Business Processes and Information Technology, General Moly

“We knew we had the manpower to complete this project, but we needed a partner to guide us through from start to finish. We were seeking a partner with a great deal of experience with SAP solutions who could steer us toward best practices and help us avoid pitfalls. CIBER’s experienced resources and strong implementation records were what convinced us that CIBER could help us accomplish more in a limited timeframe than our resources alone.”

Durand Rall — CEO/General Manager, Omnitrans

“We are pleased to have achieved the integration of our systems we envisioned more than two years ago. We are beginning to see the business process improvements that the SAP applications and inherent business best practices have allowed us to take advantage of, and we recognize that our business efficiencies will be realized over many years to come. We appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into making this project a success, especially the leadership CIBER has committed throughout the project.”

George Hatalowich — Chief Operating Officer, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission

“Teamwork has been the key to the success of the PRIDE Project. CIBER and PTC project team members consistently overcame the challenges that were before them to enable a successful go live for finance and logistics. With finance and logistics now in production along with our previously implemented human capital management and payroll functionality, PTC now has the fully integrated system that we have been anticipating.”

Jeff Mesaric — Chief Information Officer, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission

“We needed to replace our aging legacy systems, which worked well for us for many years, but which could not accommodate our changing needs. We needed a system to integrate data and simplify our business processes, and to provide us with support in terms of software upgrades.”

Lu McDonald — Vice President, Finance, Gramercy Alumina LLC

“We were aware of the hurdles school districts face with the implementation of ERP software. The implementation of mission-critical and highly visible applications, such as HCM and specifically payroll, have been well documented. We chose SAP and CIBER because they offered us the best options from a combined software and integration perspective, given CIBER’s methodology for implementing SAP ERP HCM within a K-12 district. Under CIBER’s leadership we avoided the challenges other districts have encountered during implementation. We’re very pleased.”

Charles Sipos — Executive Director of Information Technology, Fulton County Schools

“With the successful implementation of applications for finance, logistics, payroll and HCM, we now have a solid foundation for our business processes, from which we can continue to recognize additional value from the SAP Business Suite. ”

Mike Russell — Assistant Superintendent, Fulton County Schools

“The leadership team is excited about the benefits mySAP SRM will bring to our company. Enabling a closed loop process between us and our suppliers is important to our future and our suppliers’ productivity. CIBER’s successful mySAP SRM track record, combined with a company culture of following through on commitments, were key differentiators.”

John Bartho — CIO, NACCO Materials Handling Group

“The manual process was time consuming because it required the information to be handwritten and then keyed into the system, leaving room for error. The new solution provides a faster and simpler way for our material handlers to capture the data, allowing them to focus more on serving their customers.”

Linda Johnson — CIO, Sacramento Municipal Utility District

Testing Services for SAP/ERP Projects

1) SAP/ERP System Testing Services Strategy under the ASAP Methodology

At CIBER the objectives of SAP/ERP System Testing are to verify that the installed system which includes the SAP software, custom code and manual procedures, executes as specified and without error; to confirm with the users and management that the delivered system performs in accordance with the stated system requirements; and to ensure that the system works with other existing systems, including but not limited to interfaces, conversions, and reports.

The five CIBER SAP Test Phases/Cycles typically include:

ASAP Unit Testing (Cycle 0) addresses the informal testing of individual FRICE Objects (Forms, Reports, Interfaces, Conversions & Enhancements) rather than a complete system or with integrated business processes.
ASAP Integration Testing (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2) is the satisfactory execution of processes, rather than individual transactions, in concert to ensure that the SAP software functions properly, system configuration tables are set up properly, programs execute properly, and system outputs are reliable.
ASAP Regression Testing (Cycle 3)

Regression Testing is designed to verify functionality previously released into the “Production” SAP environment, will not be negatively affected by new/modified/upgraded functionality in an effort to protect existing Business Critical functionality running in the production environment from inadvertent outages and the inherent business losses ($ Lost) as a result of potential SAP Production outages/issues.
ASAP Performance Testing (Cycle 4)

Performance Testing validates that the software, hardware and network infrastructures are in place and operating at efficient levels. This testing is required to adequately stress the SAP and related Non-SAP systems in a network environment, inclusive of remote sites/nodes. Performance testing will also include testing of those business processes that would cause stress due to high transaction or batch volumes. Performance Test results will be evaluated to ensure that the SAP and related Non-SAP systems performance complies with predefined service level agreements.
ASAP User Acceptance Testing (Cycle 5)

User Acceptance Testing is used to:
- Confirm the test cases needed to run using the acceptance test environment;
- Ensure the acceptance tests are suitable for management, users of the system and computer operations; so only one set of acceptance tests are needed; and
- Execute the User Acceptance Test.

2) SAP and HP/Mercury Test Tools

CIBER, Inc is an SAP Services Alliance Partner, a Special Expertise Partner to SAP in various industries and an HP Software Partner. As such, CIBER has positioned itself to offer and provide specialized SAP Testing Services COE expertise and support to the SAP community utilizing best practices to develop, implement and establish both manual and automated testing throughout the System Life Cycle for SAP systems.

SAP Application Lifecycle

The CIBER SAP Testing Services Center of Excellence (COE) can provide your organization with experienced SAP Testing Consultants who are knowledgeable in all aspects of Manual & Automated SAP Testing, including:

SAP Quality Center (QC) & Quick Test Professional (QTP) from HP (Mercury) are integrated with SAP Solution Manager to facilitate the exchange of information/data between these two tools to expedite the creation of SAP Test Plans, to insure test coverage of SAP business processes within manual or automated tests is achieved, downloading of SAP test requirements into Quality Center directly from the business blueprint contained in SAP Solution Manager to reduce costs & errors, minimize the effort to perform testing related change impact analysis for the SAP Change Requests in Solution Manager, foster the objective assessment of business risk of SAP requirements for a Risked-based quality management process, develop the Testing Architecture, for manual & automated Test Cases/Scripts, insure the performance of manual & automated Test Executions, capture & document test results, facilitate test data analysis, provide for accurate reporting of test status to project managers, synchronize defects tracked in QC with SAP Service Desk Requests and facilitate management of quality metrics with best industry practice Key Process Indicator’s (KPI’s) via the Quality Center Dashboard.
SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization (TAO) Application for Business Process Testing

The SAP Test Acceleration Optimization (TAO) Application is utilized to automatically create test components, uploads test components to HP Quality Center to compose Test Cases and run automated tests against an SAP system. The SAP TAO provides a workflow process for managing accelerated testing, facilitates and manages SAP and HP System Connections across various SAP & HP test environments, automates the management of Transaction Screen Inspections for selected SAP transactions and SAPGUI Dynpros, facilitates the migration of testing components in and out of Quality Center, automates end to end business process testing solutions based upon the definition of Business Blue Prints contained in SAP Solution Manager.
SAP Testing Accelerators provide accelerated SAP testing development through the utilization of a component/object based approach for automated test scripts, based upon expert definitions of SAP business processes. Automated Test Scripts are assembled from packaged reusable components thus providing easier test composition for Subject Matter experts and reduced Test Script development/maintenance hours during SAP implementation/upgrade projects.
SAP Test Data Migration Server is a high-speed data extraction tool that populates your development, test, quality assurance and training systems with SAP business data from your live production environment. With SAP TDMS you can reduce extensive data volume for the non-production landscape, use real business data to simulate the production environment, reduce post processing work by standardization of administrative data, selectively refresh individual clients in targeted multi-client testing environments, create slimed down master shells, and scramble sensitive data according to security needs for use in non-production environments.
SAP Performance Center from HP (Mercury) can be utilized to provide SAP Performance Testing that includes: Volume Tests, Stress Tests, Printing Tests, Fax Tests, Email Tests, Network/Infrastructure Tests, System Administration Tests, Backup Procedure Tests, Restore Procedure Tests, Disaster Recovery Tests and Performance Monitoring of the production environment.
