Use Cases

The digital applications will automatically be created with the creation of an order in SAP and linked with the SAP receipt. Paper receipts and above all electronic documents from various input channels are combined in a very simple and intuitive way in a central location in the dataglobal CS. Documents generated by SAP, such as bills, order confirmations, credits, etc., are automatically linked to the corresponding file and the appropriate place in the dataglobal CS. Relevant email communication is automatically entered into the corresponding file.

All authorized persons have easy and complete access to all the relevant documents for a specific order from anywhere. Users of the various specialist departments simply submit information related to the order such as paper-based documents, emails, faxes, office files or drawings via drag-and-drop or via an office interface directly in the order file.

The digitization of order data management leads to fast and secure order processing as well as easy and intuitive collaboration in the digital workplace. All receipts and paper documents elated to the order from the SAP system are also archived company-wide, automatically and legally secure.

Commercial department, merchandise management, production

The complete process has been digitized with the solutions of dataglobal CS. The processes are now received electronically by email and can be monitored and evaluated at any time. Each employee sees the list of tasks, status, and the current editor in the application.

The processes in the dataglobal CS solution are created immediately from the email inbox.  During the creation of the transaction, all relevant information is automatically read out from the application forms and compared with the master data in the leading systems. The sender immediately receives a confirmation email with transaction number, as proof of receipt and for further communication. The checks on completeness of the information provided and the step-by-step processing ensure accuracy and efficiency.

The data of the systems involved, such as SAP, are exchanged via interfaces throughout the complete processing procedure so that even external service providers can be easily integrated into the process.

Quick and reliable process, transparent procedures, processing without interruption. All processing steps are documented in the process history and are traceable. Deadlines can be monitored and maintained simply.

Order processing

Instead of an accompanying document, the dataglobal CS now uses a web-based digital process. The individual stations of the product to be produced, together with the inputs of the persons involved in the process, are displayed in a comprehensible and clear manner. A digital routing slip is generated in the usual format at the end of the process, from which the successive stations of processing and the approvals of the employees emerge. The purely digital routing slip is archived so that it is audit-secure. This guarantees fast and simple traceability of the production steps.

The ISO certifications required in production require well-documented, secure digitized processes. ISO certifications provide a significant competitive advantage.
A lower error rate during the production process also results in measurable cost savings. Furthermore, the solution allows comprehensive reporting and therefore a detailed knowledge of the production process. This allows much easier and better planning and optimization of the production. 

Production, accounting, auditing

All relevant information from the SAP system and other relevant sources are merged into the dataglobal CS and made available in the digital workspace.

The shipping certificates generated by the specialist application are cached as a digital document together with the associated metadata, and then indexed into the dataglobal CS archive on the basis of this metadata. When the data is transferred to the archive, a response is sent to the specialist application, with information on how the archived document can be accessed again at any time. As a result, all employees will be able to open each archived document directly from the archive using the specialist application, in order to have access to all information required or answering inquiries.

In addition to the fulfillment of regulatory requirements, on the one hand, the comfort of the employees is increased in the daily use of the specialist application as well as the support of the end customers, while on the other hand the work processes become more efficient. In addition to cost advantages and fast processing of cases, the satisfaction of citizens and employees is also increased.

Tax processing

The survey results and the reports are archived fully automatically in the digital workspace of the dataglobal CS. The data can be directly integrated into the application via a secure link (URL). The already signed data packets are delivered via a central database and then automatically transmitted into the digital workspace of the dataglobal CS via the dataglobal interface and an additional tool, which was specially developed for this purpose by dataglobal. Each data transfer is therefore logged. The corresponding office is automatically informed in the event of errors. The data is accessed via a standard web interface.

The archiving solution of dataglobal CS also archives very large data packages, automated, secure and reliably. The desired legal security is therefore fully provided.

Government authority

Direct access is via the digital workplace of the dataglobal CS. A particular challenge is that the proprietary document formats from the various CAD programs consist of a set of individual files. If the individual employee wants to access an older version, both the original structures and the respective correct versions of individual documents must be provided. Archiving is done on a daily basis and fully automatically, including all versioning and indexing, in order to ensure the correlation between the individual files and projects.

The advantage for the department is, on the one hand, that it is possible to continue working with the hierarchical structures in the file system as usual. On the other hand, employees have the security and flexibility to access deleted documents quickly and independently at any time. Previously, the help of the IT department was always required.
