About The Customer

The company works with clients from a wide range of industries, including media, service sectors, and more industrial companies, to help them advance their digital business. Some of their clients include Werner & Mertz, Schott AG, Sanofi, Rotkäppchen Mumm, Stiftung Lesen, Lanxess, ZDF, and DFB. KEMWEB offers a broad portfolio of services, including hybrid events, videos, image films, broadcast contributions for television, online games, website creation, social media campaigns, and podcasts. The company has a team of 40 highly skilled employees and has witnessed continuous growth.
The Challenge
KEMWEB, a digital agency, was facing challenges in optimizing its administrative processes. The company's existing system, a mix of a self-developed digital filing system and physical folders, was not meeting the demands of an agile, growing company. The auditing process was particularly problematic. The company was looking for a Document Management System (DMS) that could integrate with existing applications and adapt to the needs of individual departments. A cloud solution was preferred.
The Solution
KEMWEB implemented DocuWare Cloud to digitize their administrative processes. The process for checking incoming invoices was fundamentally restructured. Invoices from all suppliers are now received digitally at KEMWEB and enter the DocuWare inbox, where they are read and prepared for posting to the relevant G/L and vendor account. The data about the documents is transferred to the Lexware accounting software in an Excel format. Outgoing invoices generated in the Lexware software enter the archive at the push of a button. Their personnel files are also digitized. An interface to payroll, which is also created with Lexware, ensures that all employees have digital access to their monthly pay slips and can also view their personnel records in other ways. Another important application that was implemented with DocuWare is contract management.

Engine Informática offers SAP software as a service with IBM
Engine Informática, a Brazil-based company specializing in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions, identified a gap in the market for small and medium-sized companies. The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

IT landscapes are becoming ever more complex and outsourcing is gaining popularity, IT systems must nonetheless remain easy-to-use and extremely reliable at all times.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.

IBM social business software connects and empowers employees for competitive advantage
Superior Group, a company providing workforce productivity solutions, found that its employees worldwide felt disconnected from headquarters, regional offices and each other due to outdated internal communication and collaboration tools. The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments. These factors inhibited the company from achieving its productivity goals.
