    Quality

    Improve data quality by

    completing omissions

    and preventing

    duplicates.

    Flexibility

    Make continuous

    improvements to

    master data processes

    without complex

    infrastructure or

    business without

    Capabilities

    • All Desktop capabilities

    • Basic workflows on Excel

    files

    • Usage governance and

    administration

    Workflow Full automation of end-to-end

    processes for data creation

    and modification

    Capabilities

    • All Workgroup capabilities

    • Web forms

    • Custom workflows for

    web forms and Excel files

    • Server-based execution

    • Process analytics

  • Customer Use

    Cases

  • Customer Example

    Use Cases include: • Data Migration for Go-Live

    – Alcan acquisition = volume of data for new sites

    – Winshuttle gave them the flexibility to get the job done fast and efficiently – not reliant on IT (LSMW)

    – Migrated 8 US plants onto SAP, took 3 people, 4 days to move all the data over using Winshuttle

    – Data included all open sales and purchase orders, GL balances, raw materials, etc.

    • Budgets – Winshuttle gives a very flexible tool to download, adjust and upload budgets.

    – Can adjust and re-adjust very easily by cost element/company etc. etc.

    – Recently went through a budgeting cycle and went through 40 iterations using Winshuttle – was working in

    front of the CEO and was able to present the new budget loaded in SAP in a matter of minutes and he could

    not believe that they could do it that fast, rather than the normal go away for 3 days and re-present.

    • Transfer Pricing – For 3,500 semi finished goods for US and Europe

    – Download transfer prices, amend and re-upload in 6 minutes – compared to 3 days previously

    – Competitive advantage - since they are able to reflect up to date pricing quicker and easier.

    • Finished Goods – Creating F/Goods took hours – had customer Lotus Notes front-end solution = cumbersome & costly

    – New front-end Winshuttle template = simple to use and strong end-user buy-in

    • Vendor Contracts – Uses Winshuttle to change prices, quantities, add materials, delete lines etc.

    • Mass Change – Validation and data checking to cleanse data (e.g. Vendors checks such as terms, contracts etc)

    – Extract terms from 5 different areas in SAP to highlight/ensure consistency

    – Front-end and SAP level validations enforced prior to posting changes
