Company expands relationship by adding new Spinnaker Support services due to great responsiveness and high quality of service.

DENVER, June 27, 2013 – Spinnaker Support, the global market leader for SAP and JD Edwards third-party maintenance, application/technical management services, and consulting, announces today D+M Group continues to reap benefits from moving their SAP annual maintenance to Spinnaker Support.

D+M is a global company dedicated to enhancing life through inspired sound solutions delivered anytime, anywhere and is best known for their Denon, Marantz, and Boston Acoustics brands. They signed on with Spinnaker Support in September 2012 to receive third-party maintenance services for their SAP ECC 6 application.  The company’s decision was driven by the high price of supporting its ERP systems at their overseas operation.   D+M also cited that redeploying some of the ERP budget to other projects was a huge win for their organization.  The savings allowed D+M to hire an additional IT resource in Japan to work on overall IT process improvements.  In addition to the IT headcount, D+M IT will be able to return nearly $3M over the next 5 years to the business where it will fund other strategic initiatives, having significant top-line and bottom-line impacts for the organization.

Since joining the Spinnaker Support family of clients, D+M has had nothing but praises for the Spinnaker Support team.  During a recent exchange regarding a tax and regulatory review, D+M commented, “Thank you for providing these updates – this is something we never got from SAP and are greatly appreciated.”

“The Spinnaker Support model is very proactive, providing monthly status updates and including recommended tax and regulatory updates when necessary,” said Shawn du Plessis, Vice President of Global Support Services for SAP. “We ensure that we are knowledgeable about the customer’s SAP environment, so that we can act accordingly and provide the best service possible.”

In October 2012, D+M signed a contract for Spinnaker Support’s JD Edwards co-sourcingSM services for their World A9.1 application to cover internal managed services as well as ad hoc support. The company then further expanded the partnership in March 2013 by moving their JD Edwards World A9.1 software maintenance to Spinnaker Support.

“We feel confident that we have the right partner to ensure the stability of our SAP and JD Edwards environments.” commented Christoph Hesterbrink, Vice President, Global IS Applications and Business Systems for D+M Group.
