Technology & Integration

Reliable and flexible

Having a stable, future-proof platform for technical support of any type of business process is fundamental to a successful IT strategy. Stability and flexibility no longer need to be in conflict with each other. Processes can be built in a modular and scalable way using modern technologies and globally supported standards. Thus you can lay the foundations for a flexible IT infrastructure that can cope with future changes as well as current core requirements.

Modelling rather than programming

SAP Netweaver, a universal platform for business processes, can be used to combine systems, functions, operator interfaces, process steps and different user interfaces. When implementing a new business process you can access all existing resources and combine them into new business activities. The benefits are obvious:

a higher level of re-use of existing functions
Enhanced stability through standards – technical and process-oriented
better process monitoring
simplified integration of third-party systems and business partners.

This approach is based on SOA – Service-Oriented Architecture. Every system and application is made available to your functions as services that can be linked together via modelling. You can manage all available services within your organisation from one central SOA repository. Put simply, it gives you a ‘reference book’, from which you can centrally manage every function, interface and dataflow.

Gradually moving in the right direction

Migrating to this new methodology in a single ‘big bang’ scenario is unrealistic. Phoron can help you take the right steps, so your strategic IT goals can be achieved securely and reliably. Our services include:

analysis of the applications infrastructure
integration and migration planning
gradual implementation of the service-oriented architecture
development of cross-functional applications for use in processes you are already running.

State of the art

Today there are already numerous SAP applications using SOA technology:

Interactive forms by Adobe

Interactive (completable) PDF forms can be integrated into any SAP module. This gives your users the simplest option of all for gathering data and sending it to the SAP system at the push of a button. (For example: service reports, time tracking etc).

TREX - the high-speed search engine

All data (master file data, descriptions, classifications, documents, attachments etc.) can be indexed by TREX and searched at very high speed. (For example: full text searches among millions of documents in just a few seconds, full text searches among SAP descriptions)
TREX can be linked to any SAP system (ERP, CRM, SRM etc.)
Fully customisable results lists: Web-based, SAPGui search help, list output and more.

PPM: Project and Portfolio Management

Cross-functional planning of projects and resources
Versatile integration into SAP ERP and BI

Universal Worklist

Your ‘centralised work inventory’ – overview of all tasks from different sources. Management of to-do lists, issues lists, work inventories.

Collaboration

More than just document exchange! Complete virtual work environment for project teams.

And much more. We would be happy to offer you advice on any aspect of the solution palette.
