Software & Systems Integration

The backbone of software product implementation is delivering extra value by integrating otherwise stand-alone software applications.

Our integration experience includes e-business to back office integration, office product integration and providing additional value to standard enterprise applications.

Features and benefits

The key features and benefits of software integration are to:

  • Enable otherwise stand-alone software to integrate with and directly support your business processes, saving time, cost and improving customer services
  • Avoid manual re-keying of data, which his highly error prone and time consuming
  • Avoid the manual save/export and load/import tasks often associated with data exchanges between applications
  • Provide seamless consolidation and aggregation of data from multiple applications into a single database (e.g. for management reporting)
  • Provide additional features your standard packages do not support
Examples of system integration
  • Financial applications to Excel. Enabling your financial software to integrate directly with Excel in a programmed, controlled and intelligent way.
  • E-business and website data capture to sales order processing or CRM system. Enabling direct updates to customer orders and customer workflow
  • Bespoke solution integration with enterprise applications. When your standard enterprise software needs additional features but when integrated will add significant power and cost savings compared with stand-alone add-ons.
  • Integrating intelligent reporting with core application functions, such as a consolidated debt analysis providing triggers into the sales order processing and accounts receivable applications (to stop a set of accounts, for example)
Integrating Korora’s MessageAngel into an e-learning, content management, website, workflow, CRM or other enterprise application to provide seamless message support to clients and staff

Knowledge Management Consulting

Knowledge management is a bit of a current buzz word and maybe its glamour is wearing a bit old. But there are many good reasons for most organisations to consider the way in which they encourage innovation and knowledge exploitation in their organisations.

You may think of knowledge management strategically, tactically or operationally. Strategically, we look at the whole way your organisation makes sense of its current situation and how open and supportive it is to the dynamics of innovation and improved strategic decision making. The result is an organisation that is much more aware of the complexities surrounding its internal and market place behaviour dynamics, which results in improved competence in influencing organisational capabilities to improve competitiveness, profitability and market survival.

Tactically, we can show you how to ensure that your investment in knowledge management technology delivers to your organisations strategic objectives, how it supports good knowledge management principles and how effective it is in meeting the social and cultural challenges knowledge management technology has to meet.

Operationally, we have specialisation in information retrieval. It is all about helping your staff find the right content to support their needs at the time they need it, within the context they are going to use it and without overloading them with irrelevant documents. It is about building and supporting truly effective virtual or real communities and teams vital for the success of modern organisations. Finally, it is about ensuring that your staff do not waste huge amounts of their time and energy performing knowledge acquisition tasks made difficult by poor access to written content and proper human contact.
