 DISPLAY,
a new software technology designed to bring you a snapshot of your
company’s business at any point in time.
DISPLAY
is built on Portal technology using browsers to efficiently display
information to the user whether they are in or out of the office. No
additional software other than a browser is required on the client
PC. A client PC could also be a hand held device.
DISPLAY
is functional and configurable. You decide what portals to make
available to each user. The user decides which of the available
portals they require and what order they would like to see them on
the screen.
DISPLAY
is designed to hone in on the users needs, for example, a Customer
Service Representative (CSR) will have access to orders they have
entered, can identify the stage in the picking process orders are,
view inventory balances on hand, view orders on hold, and orders
recently shipped.
DISPLAY
has portals for the Sales Manager, CSR’s, Warehouse Manager,
Production Managers and Supervisors, Accounts Payable and Accounts
Receivable.
Pre-packaged
portals are available for VAI’s System 2000 and BPCS.
DISPLAY is flexible and
Portals are built quickly for any data on your IBM iSeries or AS/400
Computer.

Why do you need portals now?
- Technology is new, get it now
and derive the benefits over a longer period
- Access information previously
unavailable
- Concise information on 1 screen
- User defined portlets
- Drill down to the details
|
|
10 reasons why you
need DISPLAY.
Reason 1. Real time
information is automatically DISPLAYed. |
Reason 2. A individual user or user
group has a need for certain parts of this information and also has
demands and expectations towards the manner in which this
information will have to be presented to him or her. The portal is
the vehicle to channel and facilitate this process.
|
|
Reason 3. Portals
are the cornerstone in the eBusiness infrastructure of an
organization. Portals use the power and advantages of open Internet
Technologies to reuse current investments in application- and data-
infrastructures on the one side and leverage the internet to provide
secure and personalized services to its user communities, ‘anytime,
anywhere and anyhow’ and in a cost-efficient manner. Thus making the
portal the ‘startpage’ for any employee, client, partner or supplier
related to the organization. |
|
Reason 4. The user can use any device -
of choice - that is outfitted with a browser (laptop, desktop,
telephone, PDA, etc.) to access the information that is made
available to him or her and the subset of that information that he
or she wants to see. |
|
Reason 5. Portal will become – next to
the desktop and laptop - a universally accessible, secure and
intuitive source of information. |

Why are companies turning to Portals
as a solution in worsening economic climates?
During a
downturn in
economic times, businesses turn to cost
savings. Facing tighter economic
conditions, budgets are cut and employees retrenched. The downturn forces
companies to employ new efficiencies in day-to-day business with
less resources.
The do-more-with-less philosophy results in efforts to spend less
time and reduce costs in business operations.
The complex nature of today's corporate environments causes
workforces to spend too much time searching for job-critical
information and applications, scattered across an intricate network
of internal and external systems and databases.
So how much do companies that operate interconnected business
processes while relying on dispersed systems really stand to lose?
Plenty.
Employees need
information to do their jobs, to close a sale, create
a business report or to accomplish any task.
Providing employees with information and applications has been
available for years. Providing employees with effective and
efficient tools is the need of the 21st century.
The challenge for IT managers is to provide an uncomplicated
operating environment that brings segregated information,
applications and workflow together allowing businesses to function
more efficiently and effectively while keeping costs down.
The business portal is the solution. It combines
the advantages of portals with the necessity of workflow management.
Employees gain a customized access point to the information,
applications and business processes they need to work together
better to complete jobs in less time. Business managers receive
peace-of-mind that operations remain on track while reducing costs.
