City of Hollywood Achieves Significant Business Efficiency Gains and Real Time Insights into Cloud Testing Metrics with AST TaaS ServicesCity of Hollywood Achieves Significant Business Efficiency Gains and Real Time Insights into Cloud Testing Metrics with AST TaaS Services

City of Hollywood Achieves Significant Business Efficiency Gains and Real Time Insights into Cloud Testing Metrics with AST TaaS Services

Situation

The City of Hollywood accomplished a substantial implementation of Oracle Cloud Applications and faced significant time and cost constraints associated with manual testing efforts. The City sought a partner with extensive test automation expertise to automate the testing of recurring quarterly maintenance patches issued by Oracle post go-live.

The City’s primary business needs were to:

  • Automate the quarterly patch testing of its Oracle Cloud Applications, across ERP Financials, Procurement, HCM, Payroll, and PBCS;
  • Eliminate manual testing efforts, allowing business users to focus on value-add activities; and
  • Reduce deployment risks by enabling earlier identification of defects and their timely resolution.
Let’s Create Progress Together!

I am pleased with the testing provided by AST for our Cloud ERP deployment. The patch testing are now completed with a quick turnaround time and this, in turn, allows us to more quickly address issues with Oracle, reducing potential downtime before our production environment is affected. The test execution and issues metrics also provide beneficial insights into our overall ERP processes.
