Client Overview

Introduction N2N Solutions, a renowned IT consulting firm, was engaged by Downer, a global infrastructure services provider, to provide a Technical Business Analyst (BA) resource for upgrading their existing ERP JDE 9.0 version system. The main objective of the project was to enable the system to seamlessly onboard a new client, PowerCo, without any degradation in performance. N2N Solutions collaborated closely with the Downer team and worked in conjunction with vendors such as TCS India and Bottomline Australia. The project also involved rebranding financial invoices/forms and streamlining the invoicing process by transitioning to email delivery.

Downer is a leading engineering and infrastructure company based in Australia. Their wide range of services spans across multiple sectors including resources, energy, transport, telecommunications, and water. To support their operations, Downer relied on an ERP system running on JDE 9.0. With the addition of a new client, PowerCo, Downer required an upgrade to their ERP system to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance.
