Client

Verisign is the leading provider of trusted infrastructure services  to online businesses and individuals, enabling secure e-commerce and communications.  With its acquisition of Network Solutions, it is now a world leader in domain name registration and related identity services.

 

Business Challenge

Verisign was experiencing extraordinary growth, and suffering from lack of integrated business processes and lack of visibility to enterprise information.  They were gearing for large-scale acquisitions, and existing systems would not support their needs for integration, multiple locations, and consolidation of multiple lines of business.

Within their existing systems, they did not have a consolidated customer master, making it impossible to have a global view of their customers and the products sold.  They also had no ability to “define” standard products and therefore had no inventory visibility.   To enable the company to continue growing at this rate and to improve operations and efficiencies, executive management determined the need to implement an integrated financials, order management, distribution, and HR system.

 

Why Quovera?

Quovera’s proposed team of consultants brought many years of experience implementing Oracle Applications and deploying best practices.  We had strong credentials in application integration.  And most importantly, through our eProducts and methodology, we proposed an implementation plan that was a shorter timeline  than our competition’s and included more functionality.
