关于客户
The customer in this case study is WienIT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wiener Stadtwerke (WStW) Holding AG, a public utilities holding company based in Vienna. WienIT is a universal IT provider focused on the energy sector and communal electricity supply. It also serves as an SAP Competence Center with particular SAP expertise. The company runs a personnel information system called PI for the entire group at one of its two data-processing centers on behalf of parent company Wiener Stadtwerke (WStW) Holding AG. The PI system, a specially developed mainframe solution based on Visual Age and DB2, was introduced in the early 1990s. Today more than 1,250 end users administer information on a total of 14,000 active and 12,000 retired employees in 425 offices with PI.
挑战
The companies of Vienna’s Wiener Stadtwerke (WStW) Holding AG public utilities holding company were using a personnel information system called PI, introduced in the early 1990s, for payroll accounting and personnel management. In 2005, the company management contemplated whether the solution should be replaced with a more modern one. The challenge was to replace or modernize the PI system without losing its unique features such as application functionality and security. The PI system involved 130 complex application processes with logic and database access along with 239 screen interactions where users could choose from about 1,800 input/output maps. The users who accessed PI on a regular basis were accustomed to the symbol-oriented green screens, but the less frequent users preferred standard PC user interfaces.
解决方案
WienIT tested various alternatives to the current PI application and decided to modernize the existing solution rather than replace it. Software AG was selected for the ensuing PI2WEB project to make PI functionality available to users via the intranet and standard Web browsers. The final decision for webMethods ApplinX was made after a successful pilot project. webMethods ApplinX not only allows host applications to be operated via Web browser without interference with the central application logic, but it also opens – in the same non-invasive manner – current systems for access via Web services, for example from individual Java applications. Following the successful pilot, the full implementation was then made available on the intranet in only three person months. In addition to the Web version, experienced users can still use their preferred 3270 interfaces.
运营影响
