The IT company from Moosburg near Munich is setting strategic priorities:<\/p>\n<p><em>\"In future, we want to position ourselves even more strongly as an individual provider for sophisticated special applications in the SAP environment\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Clientis CEO Miodrag Dick explains the direction of travel.<\/p>\n<p>The company has more than 25 years of experience with SAP. Clientis employees were even personally involved in some of the Walldorf-based company's developments.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"We love to think outside the box and take unconventional paths. SAP is far more than just a business solution\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dick explains the company philosophy.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"It includes a wide range of additional functions and offers enormous development opportunities to achieve the goal within the standard environment.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Controlled stress<\/h3>\n<p>Five bachelor students at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) have developed a new type of app that can use long-term ECG data to create an individual risk analysis in the event of suspected fatigue, depression or burnout.<\/p>\n<p>The ECG recording devices transmit the heartbeat intervals via a Bluetooth connection, on the basis of which the app calculates the personal stress level in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The app makes it possible to create an initial risk assessment for illnesses such as burnout, depression or fatigue. For this purpose, a 24-hour long-term ECG is recorded using a mobile ECG recorder from Getdemed.<\/p>\n<p>The app downloads the calculated heartbeat intervals from the recorder via Bluetooth and creates an individual stress level analysis in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Thanks to the application we have developed, it is now possible to have an initial risk assessment carried out without having to undergo extensive medical examinations\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>explained Karl Wolf, HPI bachelor project group.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP Mobile Workforce<\/h3>\n<p>Oxando, a provider of SAP maintenance, service and mobile solutions, has completely redesigned its website.

SAP training partner Cortility closes this gap and offers an add-on for suppliers in addition to SAP MeMi 2015+.<\/p>\n<p>After a very quiet period at the beginning of 2015, preparations for the new legal requirements are now clearly gaining momentum.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Project teams are being set up everywhere in these weeks and strategic considerations are beginning\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>reports Managing Director Klaus Nitschke.<\/p>\n<p>The data involved in switching from the old to the new procedure required particular care. For example, the question of how to deal with invoice corrections during the changeover period is not entirely trivial.<\/p>\n<p>Cortility has developed an add-on that supports suppliers securely and efficiently with the new billing of excess\/shortfall quantities on the basis of key dates, reporting points and contracts.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Access<\/h3>\n<p>Wood specialist Fritz Egger implements the world's first access solution from Kaba that is directly integrated into SAP. With Kaba EACM, the complete online access management takes place directly via the SAP Organization Management module.<\/p>\n<p>This means that no additional middleware is required and all access components communicate directly with SAP without any detours. The pilot project comprises eleven online access readers and five access controllers. All access authorizations are managed directly in the SAP Organization Management module and are therefore an integral part of the business processes.<\/p>\n<p>This means, for example, that access authorizations can be assigned easily and automatically according to an employee's position in the company.<\/p>\n<p>From the definition of access profiles and the assignment of rights to the issue and return of access media, the entire online access management is handled via SAP. This means that users at Egger work in the familiar SAP interface and do not have to learn a new system.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP for students<\/h3>\n<p>University graduates with IT skills are a sought-after occupational group.

Gisa provides financial support to the Chair of Information Systems and Operations Research at MLU to run an SAP course including official SAP certification.<\/p>\n<p>The company, which itself has SAP in its product portfolio, contributes to the certification fees, material costs for training documents and the costs of providing an SAP system.<\/p>\n<p><em>\"Integrated business processes with SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)\"<\/em> is the name of the course that introduces students to the world of SAP for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Digitization<\/h3>\n<p>More and more customers are using online retail and increasingly expect the familiar benefits in bricks-and-mortar stores too. The requirements for product availability, the individualization of offers and a convenient shopping experience are also increasing significantly in retail.<\/p>\n<p>Tchibo has commissioned QSC to further digitize its existing IT landscape and business processes in order to meet this purchasing behaviour as well. This involves migrating selected SAP systems to Hana.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it possible to retrieve and analyze all data records permanently and without any loss of time. This allows Tchibo to react even faster and more specifically to customer purchasing behavior.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>SAP Cloud for Customer<\/h3>\n<p>Kistler Instrumente, headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland, has decided to implement SAP Cloud for Customer with Sybit.

The SAST GRC Suite from Akquinet was also included in the study for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The software provider's access control and access governance solutions were immediately rated as leading by the independent analyst firm. In the overall assessment, only SAP is just ahead of the Hamburg-based company.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Recognized Expertise Partner<\/h3>\n<p>The Saarbr\u00fccken-based IT company Data One was one of the first SAP partners worldwide to be awarded the SAP Recognized Expertise Partner qualification in the SAP Business ByDesign category.<\/p>\n<p>Partners who participate in this program have proven that they have outstanding know-how in the area of implementation for the respective SAP solution. With this award, SAP honors high commitment and successful cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Matthias Bender, Portfolio Manager at Data One, is delighted with the award. \"With this seal of approval, SAP confirms the successful work we have done over the past few years.

With the CityApp, SAP and the city of Nuremberg have presented a solution for crowdsourcing. It allows citizens to report defects and damage in their immediate surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Algorithms link these reports with data such as the volume of traffic in the affected district. City administrations can use this information to optimize their processes.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Hana Retail Project<\/h3>\n<p>Lidl wants to drive forward the global standardization of processes and opted for the industry solution SAP ERP Retail powered by Hana.
