NuVasive is a spinal medical device company that has earned the No. 3 spot in the U.S. market and No. 4 spot in the international market with their innovation and responsiveness. The key to that is that their business systems must be flexible and adaptable to ever-changing business needs. The most cumbersome out-of-the-box process was the Engineering Change Management process, and FDA regulations put NuVasive under additional requirements. With no upgrade or additional SAP software required, GuiXT streamlined NuVasive's business processes while building in FDA requirements and making the entire user experience much more pleasant. In this free, live webinar, special guest Cindi McCarthy will explore how to: Customize SAP GUI to be more intuitive and increase user satisfaction Manipulating complex data for sales orders and simplifying the order process Creating efficient inventory reports Save millions of dollars and increase your ROI on SAP

17. User Comments
• Utilizing GuiXT and custom programming reduced the release time of an ECO by 61% while still being
compliant, minimized possible input errors and made the process more user friendly
Dave Ivanko, Vice President Manufacturing
• It has eliminated several steps: before I would have open two different TCodes and release PRDS and
Materials in two different transactions, I can now release all at once. It also automatically assigns the next
Rev level, as before we had to go into every single object and manually enter in the revision. By the push
of a button, all of those redundant steps are gone.
Tiffany Bull-Enriquez , Senior Analyst, Document Control
• GuiXT for the Windchill interface took an EXTREMELY manual and tedious process and turned it into a
few button clicks. It also allowed us to implement some system checks that would prevent a user from
submitting a request without critical information which helps prevent unnecessary routing/approval
delays. Jeremy Malik, Manager Product Development
• OMGosh THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I know it seems like a little silly thing but this is HUGE for us. THANK
YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!
