corporate plan to move to SAP\u00ae and Microsoft\u00ae technology at Georgia-Pacific is in transition. But the company remains committed to meeting ongoing user needs with cost-effective products that extract more information out of older systems. &#8220;We have a business to run,&#8221; notes David Burns, Information Resource Manager at the company\u2019s Port Hudson Operations. &#8220;Georgia-Pacific will do the right thing with its software decisions company-wide, and each division will need to make sensible technology plans with migration in mind. At Port Hudson Operations, we\u2019re going to address users\u2019 needs with solutions that maximize our current investment while being responsive to the forward-looking technology direction of the entire corporation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of Georgia-Pacific\u2019s Communication Papers Division, Port Hudson Operations in Zachary, Louisiana, produces more than 500,000 tons of xerographic, bond, and offset printing pages annually, most of which is sold in the continental U.S. It also produces 250,000 tons of bleached market pulp, a large percentage of which it exports worldwide. A major operational challenge at the site is managing rental expenses for large equipment that the mill uses only periodically. Until recently, the legacy system did not provide the information on rentals needed to ensure effective management of such expenses. Port Hudson Operations needed to improve its reporting capabilities, find a cost-effective way to maximize the value of its RMS files, and open Champs to PCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our current solution did not permit what we wanted,&#8221; says Burns. &#8220;For example, we might have rented machinery for one purpose, then someone else would borrow it for another, extending the amount of rental time. Sometimes, the rental company would not pick up the equipment when they were supposed to, and we would be overcharged without realizing it. We wanted an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution to better control these activities, and we wanted it fast. We also needed to build applications rapidly to manage other business activities, and we needed a quick, efficient way to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softwareag.com\/en\/connx\/connx-db-adapters\/\">interfaces to our legacy system<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Systems Analyst Jerry LeBlanc was enlisted to find a solution to the rental-tracking problem. &#8220;I discovered an existing field in our legacy purchasing system that could identify if an invoice or purchase order was for a rental,&#8221; he says, &#8220;but users could bypass it when they were writing a requisition. I wanted to kill two birds with one stone by finding a product that would give users a better way to do their own reporting and give them access to our RMS files from their PCs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <section\n        class=\"o-testimonials-slider alignwide\"\n        data-testimonials-slider\n        aria-label=\"Testimonials\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"o-testimonials-slider__inner\">\n            \n            <div\n                id=\"testimonials-slider-1\"\n                class=\"o-testimonials-slider__viewport swiper\"\n                tabindex=\"0\"\n            >\n                <div class=\"o-testimonials-slider__track swiper-wrapper\" role=\"list\">\n                                            <article\n                            class=\"o-testimonials-slider__slide swiper-slide\"\n                            role=\"listitem\"\n                            aria-label=\"Testimonial 1 of 1\"\n                        >\n                            <blockquote class=\"o-testimonials-slider__quote\">\n                                <p>\n                                    <span class=\"quotation--opening\">\u201c<\/span>\n                                    I ordered it and learned it in an hour.

Plus, that product costs 10 times as much as CONNX. CONNX was a tool that enabled us to tap into our legacy systems and included the capability of providing faster turnaround to users\u2014either for development or for using available PC tools.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softwareag.com\/en\/resources\/data-integration\/facts-connx-platform\/\">CONNX<\/a>, LeBlanc quickly created a program that would allow users to report as much as possible about rentals, tracking account numbers, purchase order numbers, and even downtime. &#8220;They use CONNX as an ODBC driver,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;They get into Microsoft Access, click on \u2018attach\u2019 and boom, their data is there.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is reporting much easier, but Port Hudson Operations projects annual savings of $100,000 to $200,000 on its rentals thanks to the improved tracking that CONNX makes possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CONNX proved so effective in its initial use that Port Hudson Operations now relies on it for reporting in other areas. &#8220;We\u2019re using CONNX for reports about equipment downtime in our converting department, where we convert rolls of paper into sheets,&#8221; says LeBlanc. &#8220;We use it extensively for employee labor reports. We also use it to prepare reports from our legacy system on the work order material and accounts payable distributions needed by our accountants&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;CONNX makes it easy for our programmers to go to purchase orders and delete whole sections easily, for example. It\u2019s really nice for everyone who uses it.&#8221; The way CONNX enables the company to change its inventory management procedures significantly illustrates how CONNX supports other improvements at Port Hudson Operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Now, we\u2019re managing proactively, rather than reactively,&#8221; Burns says. &#8220;For example, with timelier information, we\u2019re cutting excess rental time by two or three days. When we extend the rental for another group, we charge it to that group. This improved control has resulted in substantial cost savings. In addition, CONNX was not expensive to purchase, and it saves us a lot of money on development.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n    <section\n
