Extended windream ECM Solution for SAP Applications
windream SAPcommand Connects SAP World with windream Enterprise Content Management
January 9, 2012 | Bochum. – windream GmbH, producer of the windream Enterprise Content Management system, presents “windream SAPcommand“, a new extended solution for SAP applications, which distinguishes itself from earlier versions of the windream SAP integration by its extended range of functions. The new windream SAPcommand software allows users to connect SAP applications such as SAP ERP with the windream ECM system. With its generic interface to the SAP world, this solution offers a wide variety of possibilities for the further processing of incoming documents, which used to be connected with considerable efforts up till now.
windream SAPcommand in detail
windream SAPcommand offers exactly what users have always wanted: a fusion of different software worlds to one completely integrated system. With windream SAP command, SAP users profit from the advantages of the windream ECM system – without having to say goodbye to their familiar IT environment.
windream SAPcommand does not only allow users to – as already familiar – link all SAP-specific processes with any desired documents saved in the ECM system. The process also works vice versa. Links between documents and SAP application are made possible via components provided by SAP. In this context, the architecture of the windream ECM system allows the use of these SAP components according to the specific requirements of each customer. This results in a direct link between SAP-specific editing processes and efficient Enterprise Content Management, since windream SAPcommand seamlessly links documents saved in the windream ECM system to SAP applications.
In this context, scanned and electronically created incoming documents – e.g. Office documents or e-mails – as well as information already filed in windream can be archived compliantly and linked to SAP application documents. The required indexing processes are carried out automatically and in the background, making additional manual operations unnecessary for the user. The indices can be used for identifying and retrieving documents both in windream and in the SAP application. windream SAPcommand also allows users to link incoming documents on the basis of barcodes and to start SAP business workflows or SAP default capturing jobs.
Convenient error management
All tasks intended for batch processing such as the filing and indexing of documents, barcode linking and the launching of SAP business workflows are continually monitored. This allows an immediate identification of any potential processing errors. If an error is identified, the system sends an e-mail notification to the SAP application manager responsible, who can have the system repeat the incorrectly executed function by clicking one button.
It is possible to re-execute processing operations in the section of windream functions as well as in the sections of windream-specific SAPcommand processes and SAP-specific functions. This option reduces the efforts required for error analysis and trouble-shooting to a minimum. This significantly reduces the workload, especially for SAP application managers, since potential processing errors can now be identified ad hoc and can be eliminated much faster than before. The monitoring of all processes of a workflow is carried out for both incoming and outgoing SAP-specific documents.
