Innovative Manufacturing Solution based on Salesforce & SAP

Salesforce & SAP consulting; Overcast

A globally active European high-tech manufacturer, realized significant sales and profitability increases through the integration of their SAP ERPprocesses into their Salesforce.

Vigience implemented SAP-integrated order processing, forecasting based on soft facts (AE opportunities) and hard facts (sales order history), a 360-degree account view to track up to 4 accounts per sales order and Opportunity (from design to production of an end product), insights into customer ordering behavior, automated customer notifications (order status & shipment tracking), service level reporting on order processing and on-time delivery.

Salesforce - SAP CRM Integrated Sales Solution

Overcast

A global manufacturer in the chemical industry chose both SAP CRM and Salesforce.com to run their sales process.

Vigience integrated SAP CRM with Salesforce.com and synchronizes Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Business Partners and Quotations.

Combine the power of SAP with the user-friendly Salesforce cloud app. The integration was configured using our Overcast Enterprise Gateway, which allows for Salesforce Connect integrations, Data Synchronizations and Process Integrations.

B2B Self-Service Community based on Salesforce & SAP

Overcast

As consumers, we have come to expect to see our order and payment history from companies we do business with. Many B2B customers do not have access to that kind of informationn.

An European manufacturer implemented an SAP-integrated Salesforce partner community. Their distributors now have self-service, real-time portal access to their SAP orders, invoices, shipments and credit status. In addition, they benefit from a new communication channel based on Chatter, can browse the knowledge base and raise cases.

The project took from start to finish only 6 weeks thanks to Vigience Overcast.

SAP Purchase Order Approvals in Salesforce

Salesforce & SAP consulting, Overcast

Workflows for SAP processes including SAP purchase order approvals are implemented and executed in Salesforce. View and approve SAP purchase orders in Salesforce.

By chosing to implement all their workflow approvals in Salesforce, our customer realized 75% cost savings compared to alternative solution proposals based solely on SAP products.

Salesforce Sales Cloud Implementation

Salesforce & SAP consulting

A well known media group and publisher of a leading German-language newspaper chose Saleforce.com to optimize their CRM processes.

Vigience provided a fast implementation of Salesforce.com to manage their sales processes efficiently and effectively and developed a few smaller extensions to the standard functionality in order to make the solution fit.

Salesforce-based Call Center

Salesforce & SAP consulting, Overcast

Our customer realized a call center solution that combines multiple SAP and non-SAP system updates in a single Salesforce-based user experience. Instead of switching between systems, users can view end customer data and process end customer events in a sinble screen and update on-premise system of records in real-time.

Salesforce-SAP Integration App and Components

Product Concepts, Designs and Plans; Application Development; Overcast

Our long-term customer and partner, the NEC group, is a large provider of public sector, telecom carrier, enterprise and system platform solutions. They provide among others enterprise software implementation services for software such as SAP or Salesforce.

Understanding that a tight SAP integration is important for any future SaaS solution, as well as in order to differentiate themselves from their competition, NEC asked Vigience to jointly develop a middleware product to enable to effectively connect cloud products based on Salesforce.com and others to various on premise systems such as SAP, legacy systems and modern systems based on open web service standards.

Vigience developed and maintains the Overcast Enterprise Gateway which NEC markets and resells.

Solutions

We run digital transformation projects based on solutions from Salesforce.com,
SAP and Vigience for medium to large enterprises.

The IT industry is changing at an ever faster pace. The result are dramatically reduced costs associated with IT projects, less risk and much higher IT agility. Digital transformation is happening and traditional industry boundaries are vanishing as they are re-inventing themselves.

This rapid innovation is enabled through the practice of managing two separate, coherent modes of IT delivery, one focused on stability and the other on agility (“Bimodal IT”). Cloud products play an important role in providing that agility and we advise our customers on cloud-migration strategies and realize innovative projects in this space.

Vigience consults its customers in this new world of cloud computing (SaaS), Mobile Business and SAP. Let us help you implement connected cloud solutions as well as cloud strategies that let you have it both: agility & stability.

The key difference: our significant experience in two-speed, Bimodal IT strategies (our Overcast Enterprise Gateway as an enabler thereof) paired with consultants that have both significant experience in Systems of Record (SAP, …) and Systems of Engagement (Salesforce, Microsoft, ..)

Overcast Enterprise Gateway
connects the OnPremise world with the Cloud and today for instance offers the most advanced Salesforce to SAP integrations in a really simple manner: ready-to-use “SAP Lightning Components for Salesforce” combined with “configure-your-own integrations”.
