SUCCESS STORIES

Enhancing Cost Reporting

2016

October

Challenge

The controlling department of this international client needed an efficient application to create comprehensive cost reports for its customers. The existing AS400 application was not user-friendly, required special training to use, and was cumbersome to manage. The reports, based on very large cost data sets from SAP, needed to be customisable and expandable to meet diverse customer requirements.

Enhancing Cost Reporting

Hanau, Germany

Our client is a global leader in specialty chemicals. They develop innovative solutions for various industries, including healthcare, nutrition, and manufacturing, focusing on sustainability and efficiency to improve everyday life through advanced chemical technologies.

Solution

We replaced the outdated AS400 application with a modern ASP.NET web application, integrated with SharePoint Server. This new solution offered a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, significantly reducing the training requirements for users.


The complex cost structures were mapped into a Microsoft SQL Server database, providing a robust and scalable foundation for data management. For report generation, we utilised Microsoft SQL Reporting Services to create numerous detailed reports in PDF format, ensuring high-quality and easily distributable outputs.

Outcome

The implementation of the ASP.NET web application drastically improved the efficiency and usability of the cost reporting process for the controlling department. Users benefited from a more intuitive interface, eliminating the need for extensive training. The robust integration with SharePoint Server and Microsoft SQL Server ensured reliable data management and report generation. The customisable and expandable reports met the diverse needs of customers, enhancing satisfaction and operational effectiveness. Overall, the new solution provided a modern, scalable, and efficient approach to cost reporting, aligning with the client's goals for improved performance and usability.
