Reasons for success: security in investment, internationality, Automotive and eBusiness
There are many reasons for the golden autumn at ABAS:
Dynamic - this is how the situation in the German ERP market could be favorably described. Numerous mergers, takeovers or insolvencies amongst ERP providers leads to uncertainty among the users of the respective software systems regarding the guaranteed future of their system. This is not the case for abas Business Software users. In the market ABAS stands for independence, continuity, quality and customer satisfaction. The company is in a good position, the equity ratio is a proud 72% - independence of banks and investors has been guaranteed for many years. A further reason for success is also the evolutionary development strategy of the abas Business Software. This provides abas users with a further development of the software standard, unlimited by time. If the upgrades are used regularly, the user of the abas Business Software is always able to depict and use new requirements and new business processes in the software in realtime through permanent technology modernizations.
Increasing pressure from competition coming from low wage countries is making German medium-sized companies think more and more internationally. These days companies open new production factories in Eastern Europe or in Asia and/or increase the efficiency and quality in their existing production factories to keep up with competition. Both are optimally supported with the implementation of abas Business Software. ABAS has partners and installations in over 25 countries and can be operated in many languages. In addition to technical aspects, by using the Unicode character set in the abas Business Software it is, for example, possible to depict Chinese, Arabic and Cyrillic fonts, a coordinated project managment is necessary for the successful development of an international ERP project. ABAS and the abas Software Partners provide medium-sized companies with customized solutions which have been developed throughout the years by the international project management methodology.
A further factor of the success is the automotive industry sector. According to abas CEO Werner Strub, one could learn something in terms of quality and efficiency from the automotive industry. Despite high taxes and wages in Germany, compared to other countries, it is operating successfully worldwide. This competitiveness is achieved through new, innovative organization models, such as Just in Time, Just in Sequence or other technologies, such as the use of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). The abas Business Software supports these by constantly incorporating these new organizational models or technologies into the system standard. Well-known users of abas ERP/Automotive, such as for example the BBS Kraftfahrzeugtechnik GmbH from Schiltach, confirm this.
A further guarantee for success is the eBusiness solution, abas eB. If two or three years ago eBusiness was still equated to an Internet shop, the focus is now more and more switching to the integration of various applications and the depiction of processes along the value added chain, such as for example SCM (Supply Chain Management). abas eB provides highly flexible Internet solutions in this area: on the basis of ready-made templates, such as e.g. Webshop or Service Center, users can realize their solution as desired and can incorporate their own ideas. The complete abas ERP system with database, full function range and powerful interfaces is available in the background to realize the application logic.09.11.2006, Team Marketing & Presse
