| The Office Business Gateway (OBG) enables users to access
information out of the business application directly in Microsoft
Office. This could be i.e. client and contact data out of a CRM-System,
business management data out of an ERP-System and product specific data
from CAD- and PDM-Systems. Beside the mere provision of information it
is possible to execute actions with help of OBG.net in Microsoft Office
programs respectively enterprise applications. Users have the
possibility to take Microsoft Outlook dates out of OBG.net and charge
them automatically with information. The approval of applications of
leave, the activation of a contract or the installation of a Microsoft
Office Share Point library can be realized by a user in OBG.net. With
Office Business Gateway it is easier to support employees and their
working habits, and existing enterprise resources can be used
intensively.
Advantages for your business are: |
- Flexible connection of system processes with the working habits
of the users
- A higher user acceptance as a result of easier and familiar
handling in Microsoft Office
- Better utilization of already existing investments in enterprise
applications
- Decisions of higher value as a result of increased data quality
- Lesser training demand for the handling of enterprise
applications
|
| Goal of OBG.net isn’t to substitute existing Line-of-Business
applications. Rather the user shall gain access to business data
according to his knowledge and his habits in Microsoft Office or in a
familiar user environment of the respective Line-of-Business application. |
