4 Independence Continuity Customer Satisfaction Quality Internationality Longterm Investment security through a process oriented approach Identifying changing demands and reacting accordingly has never been so critical than today. Flexibility and transparency of Business Software are realized through a tier software architecture. Business processes, screens, or date structures can be optimally integrated into existing IT environments with small efforts. Business Software easily adopts to your company structure precisely and accurate. Key Performance Indicators and Alerts simplify every manager s daily decisions. Complicated commands, multiple windows and tabs limited the users ability with early Systems.

A developed series of infosystems give users the advantage of being able to manage any process from a single screen.

5 Our first implementation took twelve weeks and after acquiring another company, we were able to train the new staff for the second implementation ourselves and it took only eight weeks to go live, Ray Pettengill, IT manager at Computrol, USA Each of our business areas has different production procedures and channels of distribution. It made sense to represent these in an optimal way using the new business software. For example, three forwarders with different requirements from four business areas had to be able to work with a scheduling module. A decisive advantage of Business Software in comparison to other systems is the flexibility. Due to this, it was not necessary for us to fix the detailed planning of the system. We can make changes and adjustments at any time without losing the releasability of the system.

7 We were able to save management expenses in the end since the daily work had been significantly simplified. José Luis Magán, Executive Director at Abel Equipos, S.A., Spain We have a high demand for flexibility of a software as we have very different business areas and processes and our duties often vary due to the growth of Pankl.

Extremely short processing periods must also be realized. The Business Software optimally supports us here. Daniel Konrad, manager at Pankl, Austria Multilingualism is an important factor for Schmalz when it comes to long-term investment security. We optimize internal processes crossnationally.

We rely on the Business Software as part of this.
