Solution Strategy
The company strategically relies on SharePoint. The requirement to establish an information management system as a central document repository was fulfilled with the introduction of d.velop for Office 365. The biggest challenge in the project was to migrate the existing solutions SAP, Salesforce, Filesystem towards SharePoint/O365. In addition, SharePoint/O365 was to be integrated into SAP ERP and Salesforce. Through this integration, the files used (customer files, order files, supplier files and order files) as well as the technical data sheets and standards can be displayed in the context of a SAP or Salesforce process. In addition, an azure-based middleware for SAP and Salesforce connectivity was created in the project. SharePoint and O365 are used strategically throughout the company. With the introduction of d.velop for Office 365, a platform was also created that enables audit-proof archiving without any problems.
Results
By introducing an information management system, the use of various isolated solutions was reduced. In addition, the holistic use of strategically placed products is now possible.
The greatest benefit for the user is that every employee now has access to all relevant documents at any time and from anywhere thanks to the introduction of d.velop for Office 365. Therefore, TECE is now able to provide information immediately. TECE digitizes over 10 Million documents.
