Model calculation of IQ professionals determined a ROI already in the first half year Langenfeld, 21.06.2011 – according to a model calculation IQ professionals leads through a process-oriented automation in user management of the enterprises Institute to substantial savings institutions on behalf of Ogitix AG. The analysis conducted on behalf of Ogitix AG determined relatively short-term economic effects in the deployment, change and deletion of user rights for a company with around 3,000 IT-supported jobs. Typically, more than a half-dozen manual steps from different people are necessary for this. Reduce costs in the implementation of appropriate software after deduction of capital expenditures reached around 100,000 euros and increases in the second and third year already to over 300,000 euros. Thus, a return-on-investment (ROI) is achieved in the first year. In these calculations a growing penetration of of automation of initial 40 percent is based to 75 per cent in the third year of use. In the With reference to practical data, calculations assumed that the IT pro user must edit three MACs (move/add/change) for a total of four targets per year average. This leads to a total number of requests from about 38,000 a year.

When adopted automation level of 40 percent and a typical time savings of a total of 9 minutes per request within the numerous steps it makes a reduction of effort over 2,260 hours / 283 working days in the year. The magnitude of this calculated benefits have proved largely in first practice projects”, reports Ogitix Board Ingo Buck. In addition to this significant effort and cost reduction but other benefits for automation in the user management speak”he refers to as an example the significantly lower error rate. In a traditional Provisionierungsprozess at least five to eight manual actions by various people are making, what inevitably leads to a high susceptibility. As a result would Employees receive incorrect access permissions and should be a remedy, which in turn takes time. Our analyses have shown that only in every second case longer than 30 minutes rectification effort and devours thus expensive resources.” Also the increase in compliance safety as a result of continuous transparency and automatic documentation of processes was an important feature of automation in addition to the cost savings, the significantly faster Provisionierungsprozesses and the lower error rate. With University mate”, Ogitix has a platform that consistently and continuously based on the principle of simplicity.

“Virtualisation & Storageforum’ combines the central contact point for all those who want to get an overview of current solutions of leader compressed on CeBIT realization competence of product innovation, the virtualisation & Storageforum” at the CeBIT. From 06 to 10 March 2012, cloud, virtualization and storage specialists meet in Hall 2 stand A 40. Well-known manufacturers such as Citrix, VMware, DatCore, IBM, igel, NetApp, Cortado, Wyse and others are represented here.

‘PILOT Suite’ by FELTEN clearly goes beyond the classic MES solutions for the production management Serrig, 19.02.2010 – although manufacturing companies have invested increasingly lately in MES systems, who see themselves as intermediaries between the ERP systems and the product management. But these solutions remain ultimately limited in terms of integration of business and production with regard to their benefits, because the ERP applications do not provide data in real time and exhibit the classic MES concepts this inherent restrictions. It, for example, insufficient data from the production processes for Realtime analysis can be provided, so that no immediate measures can be initiate. So far the production management can be accessed immediately and sufficiently on the relevant financial data, to make precision reviews of the efficiency of processes and jobs. Also missing on the sales data for more efficient resource planning\”a direct coupling, called Werner Felten, Managing Director of FELTEN group, two concrete examples. In this respect significant disadvantages for the market flexibility, competitiveness, and profitability caused by the lack of integration of business and production processes: no continuous control of the company as a whole, because the two-sided master data, indicators and evaluation models are not synchronized.

Delayed reaction to changes in the market such as falling demand for individual products or economic weaknesses, because she only delayed discovered information in the business processes and may reach the production management in a modified form. Inadequate and delayed feedback of production, for example, in the case of bottlenecks in the resources, technical failures or in material sourcing due to lack of automatic and standardized processes of the sales organization and other business units. Limited cost control in the production field due to lack integration into the business methods for evaluating economic efficiency with involvement of Finance and controlling data. Limited effect of enterprise-wide programs to improve efficiency, because it’s consistently uniform structures for master data, lack of indicators and assessment models.
