Cognizant, a provider of global IT and business process outsourcing services, announced that it has completed a large scale consolidation and standardisation of the SAP application portfolio for Serena Software.

Based on mySAP ERP, the scope of this project included finance, materials management, sales and distribution, IS-Software and human resources on a global scale, and was completed in seven months.

"Cognizant’s professional, solutions-oriented approach convinced us to select them over several other global services companies," said Robert Pender, CFO, Serena Software. "Their support and understanding of our business issues have allowed us to maximise our ROI through dramatic improvement to functionality, adoption of best practices in standard processes and improvement in data quality."
