Integration of IT systems of a mechanical engineering company

The OLAP reporting system is developed with the standard software InstantOLAP. The tool collects business data from the ERP system BaanIV and an MS Exchange-based CRM system. The data is formatted in OLAP cubes in order to provide key figures in reports for the different departments. The intranet application is implemented with PHP 5 and the Zend framework (backend) and HTML, CSS and Javascript / Jquery (frontend). This uses the ERP and CRM data to provide operative evaluations that support the departments in their day-to-day tasks. The application also connects this data with sales and purchasing documents scanned as PDFs, as well as drawings from the product management system Autodesk Productstream Professional. Users can also process order-relevant documents (e.g. sending order confirmations via fax or e-mail).
