The adaption of SAP Business One to the graphic arts company needs is possible due to the incorporation of three unique technologies within SAP Business One that enable this product to function within the scope of the specific needs inherent in graphic arts companies:
SaaS Firstly, Graphic Arts by INEXTRAMA for SAP Business One is a SaaS product or an On-Premise Software as a Service approach.
The Software as a Service is a software distribution model under which the technological supplier offers their clients the option to rent the usage of their product licenses rather than outright buying them. This rental also include such aspects as support services, updates and new releases, all being implemented remotely.
The applications distributed within the SaaS approach may be incorporated in any type of company regardless of its size or where it may be located. It is a model that links a product (software) to a service, providing the companies with a thorough solution that optimizes both your costs and your resources.
The advantages provided by the SaaS Technology approach are numerous including all of the following:
|
• |
It is no longer necessary to acquire a license to be able to use the software, being able to simply pay a rental fee for its usage. |
|
• |
The software is neither distributed nor updated in-house but rather remotely over the Internet in a matter of seconds. |
|
• |
The client no longer requires a special tech department to run their ERP, thus dramatically reducing costs and the inherent risk involved. |
|
• |
The product’s operational responsibility is in the vendor’s hands which means that the guarantee that the application and its running smoothly will be available all the time is part of the service included in the rental fee. |
|
• |
The client has complete flexibility in the usage of the operating systems that they may prefer (for instance, mac or PC). |
|
• |
Unlimited scalability that does not require a major capital outlay. |
ERP II - ERM. ERP II (Second or Latest Generation ERP) technology or ERM (Enterprise Resource Management) technology) consists in developing an application and data structure within a single core that covers all of the multiple aspects related with the company, leading to accurate information analysis based upon having the data coming from a single source of information. As all is included in one single product, accessing this information is simple and is done with a single click of your mouse..
As all of the information is inter-related, there is no need for lengthy – and costly -- personalizations, nor are integrations among varying applications to obtain information and be able to compare data required, and updates are carried out on a regular basis for all clients.
FEPS® 2.0 or Flexible Engineering for Production Simulation enabling the SAP Business One solution to configure off-the-shelf graphic arts products and services, providing timely, accurate estimating and production scheduling as well as process calculations within the scope of the graphic arts firm and its daily operational requirements.
JDF. The Job Definition Format is defined as being the language of data of transmission based upon XML that enables information related with graphic activity to be shared and with all parties using the same criteria.
JDF is, thus, the global future communication standard developed for graphic arts. In its development, a consortium of companies have participated, among them the leading software and machinery manufacturers such as Adobe, HP and Xerox. Graphic arts by INEXTRAMA provides a Direct to the Press JDF Connection Module.
Graphic Arts by INEXTRAMA is once again the first ERP worldwide that connects, in series, via JDF with printing presses and workflows without any need for personalizations. At the same time INEXTRAMA is Full Member of CIP4.
GAAIA®. Graphic Arts Artificial Intelligence Architecture. Unlike any other management software in the market, regardless if they are or are not specialized in graphic arts, Graphic Arts by INEXTRAMA bases its system on Graphic Artificial Intelligence Architecture (GAIA) as applied to graphic arts business processes.
Through a complex series of evolutionary algorithms and neuron networks, GAIA develops processes that imitate human intelligence, thus converting Graphic Arts by INEXTRAMA for SAP Business One into a system that is capable of learning from the company’s mistakes and hence provide suggestions to enhance its business processes.
In this manner, GAIA enables Graphic Arts by INEXTRAMA to be decision-making software and not such a mere management software product as are all of the other market alternatives, allowing the graphic arts company to not only carry out corrective analysis (based upon prior data), but rather undertake preventive analysis (based upon current data), and even do predictive analysis (future events) and thus competing with a clear competitive advantage in any market circumstances. |
