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.

COLT had deployed the same systems in several countries and all of them were operating independently. As a result, there were over 10 instances of each application — and each one containing its own silo of information. Customer information was recorded in several systems and there was no consolidated view of a customer across the whole company. COLT also wanted to automate the provisioning process with the local telecom operators for certain products. This would require COLT to integrate its order handling system with that of the operator. This extended the scope of the integration challenge beyond the enterprise into the realm of B2B.

DFDS Seaways, a leading European ferry and logistics company, was facing challenges with its outdated Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) system. The system, named Cosmos, was built in the early 1990s and had grown into more than 200 smaller and larger sub-applications. However, these applications lacked functional integration, had varying user interfaces, and required regular data re-entry. The complexity of Cosmos had become so great that DFDS Seaways faced growing maintenance problems. Documentation was often outdated, and a lot of business logics were recorded in hard-to-change stored procedures. The company also faced performance problems with the Web front-ends, hindering customers from making reservations via the Internet.

The challenge was to design a system that could host information on all processes at work throughout the banking network and yet allow each bank to align these processes with its unique organizational structure.

Evonik Industries, a global industrial group, was facing challenges with its international operations. The lack of uniform representation standards and file formats for processes made it difficult to gain a cross-sectional view of the enterprise and prevented the development of a shared understanding of processes and process management. This became particularly clear when preparing for an SAP roll out in Greater China. The company was aiming for shorter documentation times and standardized process documentation, with the aim of reducing the number of process harmonization workshops to a minimum. The resulting documentation base would be used for future projects and help create a shared process understanding. The constant demand for training created an urgent need for comprehensive process documentation in China.

Split Airport, the second largest airport in Croatia, was faced with constant growth in seasonal traffic. The management identified the ability to perform core processes within strict time limits as key to business success. This led to the decision to implement performance analysis of its key business process—passenger and aircraft handling. The initiative was aimed at gaining insights into the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), identifying weaknesses, and optimizing process times. The seasonal character of the airport's business, with most traffic occurring during the summer season, made effectiveness, efficiency, and speed crucial factors for success. At the same time, strict compliance with all local and international air traffic standards, regulations, and obligations was essential.

Landesbank Berlin AG (LBB) was faced with the challenge of managing an extensive rulebook, which comprised 180 manuals and required 10.5 million pages to be updated every year.

Vipnet, a leading GSM operator in Croatia, was required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) as part of the Mobilkom Austria group. The compliance required making business processes transparent and proving the efficiency of its internal control system. However, the company faced several challenges. Controls weren't specifically defined and couldn't be mapped as part of a process flow, leading to insufficient process mapping. Additionally, controls weren't tested. The company needed a financially oriented approach to process management to become SOX compliant.

In 2008, the Estonian eHealth Foundation set out to build a nationwide Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. The country’s goal was to improve the quality and convenience of healthcare for 1.3 million citizens by centrally storing their health records. To make the best decisions at the point of care, physicians would be able to access a citizen’s EHR online, anytime. This massive undertaking needed a flexible integration platform.

The company needed to standardize their alert and escalation management processes and provide status reports on the performance of the ICS itself to meet new German regulatory requirements.

Apollo-Optik, Germany's largest retail chain for optical products, was facing challenges in serving its customers with high-quality products and on-time delivery. The company's IT landscape was complex and consisted of several different back-end systems, leading to redundancy in data and functionality. For instance, retrieving all data on a customer required calling upon many relevant functions in different systems. This inefficiency prompted Apollo-Optik to transition to a more efficient Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and implement re-usable services across all systems. The company aimed to provide the highest level of quality in customized eyeglasses on time, every time, and needed a solution that could help achieve this goal.

Wales & West Utilities (WWU) is a regulated gas distribution business that transports gas safely to more than 7 million people through its network of the 35,000 kms of pipelines that covers Wales and Southwest England. The company is responsible for attending gas emergencies on streets and at businesses and homes within one or two hours. However, WWU faced challenges in monitoring the emergency process, which was a manual and labor-intensive activity. The company used a simple Comma Separated Values (CSV) user interface to a standalone system that queried databases directly. This system was resilient in the event of a failover, but it did not provide real-time visibility into the emergency process.
