Ignify Partners with Asurion to Power Japan's First Paid Mobile Phone Protection Service
Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) November 20, 2006 -- Ignify, a leading provider of accounting and e-commerce solutions for the mid-market business and large enterprise segments, and a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, today announced that it has completed an implementation of Microsoft Dynamics ™ AX with Asurion, a leading provider of mobile protection services for the wireless telecommunications industry. The implementation has paved the way for Asurion to deliver Japan's first paid mobile phone protection and delivery service.
Ignify's Dynamics AX implementation allows Asurion to manage its mobile phone protection and delivery service. Asurion's handset insurance and warranty services cover subscribers in the event of common mobile phone problems such as loss, theft and water damage by offering a replacement phone. The integrated solution will enable Asurion to receive damaged phones, categorize the type of defect and replace phones under the warranty program or under the Handset equipment protection program. Ignify implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX in Japanese and English, and provided customizations of Microsoft's ERP solution to meet Japanese regulations.
"Customizing our current ERP system to comply with Japanese financial reporting requirements proved to be the trickiest part of the implementation," said Kevin Santonastaso, senior director project portfolio management at Asurion. "The Ignify and Asurion teams in Tokyo, Nashville and India worked around the clock across multiple time zones to make sure we were ready by the official launch date. Ignify's expertise was invaluable to this implementation."
In addition to enhancing the Dynamics AX application to meet Japanese regulations, existing customizations were ported to Japanese so that the entire application was available in Japanese.
"Being involved in such a unique implementation that has led to enabling a new service for Japanese wireless consumers is extremely satisfying," said Sandeep Walia, CEO of Ignify. "These experiences will open doors for us in a number of different markets around the globe."
