The selection of the UpsideBilling and UpsideContract software was made after an extensive review by a NS21 (Norfolk Southern for the 21st century) team looking for ways to streamline the service contract processing.

Norfolk Southern is a Virginia-based holding company with headquarters in Norfolk. It controls a major freight railroad, Norfolk Southern Railway Company, and owns a natural resources company, Pocahontas Land Corp., and a telecommunications company, Thoroughbred Technology and Telecommunications, Inc.

Norfolk Southern provides comprehensive logistics services and offers the most extensive intermodal network in the East.

Upside will enable NS to develop a more flexible system for creating contracts, manage performance and facilitate change management.   It will enable NS to better manage the change order process, provide detailed information on the rates, terms and conditions to the end-users in the field, advise when contracts are up for renewal, improve the risk management process and speed the processing of contract documents and invoices.

- Harry Fridge, Director Service Contracts, Norfolk Southern

Fundamental to any process change is the need to implement a system that adds value to our existing processes and allows us to streamline the processing for both suppliers and internal departments.  With the Upside products, we will be able to leverage existing technologies and implement a business process management tool using workflow along with internet access that drives out the inefficiencies of paper-based processing.
