A Better Path for Enterprise Software

Enterprise software systems, commonly known through their initials – ERP, CRM, SCM, IWMS and the like – have proliferated throughout the business world over the past 20 years. And with good reason: To operate with maximum effectiveness in a competitive environment, businesses have a critical need to organize their information, streamline and standardize their processes, enable controlled and secure access on a global basis, and produce meaningful metrics that aid in understanding performance and trends. Database-driven systems are excellent tools with which to pursue all of these goals.

But there is a problem. As expectations of and reliance on systems has grown, so have the burdens of operating, maintaining and using them. Implementations have come to consume years of effort and large teams of professionals. Training alone can be a frightening prospect for the workers who will be expected to use the systems.

And so, while implementations drag on, businesses face the same operational and performance issues and often must continue to rely on the “old tools” – ledgers, spreadsheets, files and memos – while the enterprise system acts as a time-consuming distraction.

Bricsnet believes there is a better answer.

Bricsnet’s motto is “Speed to Value.” For more than 20 years, Bricsnet has operated in the belief that, in order to serve their purpose, technology systems must be capable of rapid implementation, easy availability and low-effort support and maintenance. No application provides value until it is making a positive difference in the workplace.

Bricsnet technology helps organizations avoid the pitfalls commonly encountered in implementing complicated, enterprise systems through an advanced technical architecture and a Speed-to-Value model that quickly delivers a positive impact on the bottom line. We do this by carefully building our applications on a foundation that includes:

  • Standards-based, fully supported technology platform
  • Three-tier, web-based architecture
  • Services oriented architecture
  • Web Services for integration and interoperability
  • Platform independence, with certification processes for new platforms
  • Utilization of select Open Source components
  • Modularity
  • Scalability and resilience
  • Flexible delivery options
  • Configurable, role-based security model

If you're interested in learning more about how Bricsnet's technical architecture can help you to get up and running quickly so that you can focus on your business rather than your applications, read our whitepaper, "Bricsnet Technology: Flexibility, Security, Reliability". You can get the whitepaper at the Bricsnet web site.
