Brinkel continues: "Cordys showed us how to use their platform to move away from a more diffuse process -with different roles and multiple data entry requirements- towards a clear process and roles, providing one single data entry through a portal, with automatic synchronization with the underlying systems. Etam also decided to standardize its data architecture using the retail industry data standard ARTS. With the help of the Cordys platform this model could easily be integrated into the whole system."

Henk de Ruiter, Executive Vice President at Cordys: "The Cordys platform, which is considered the most comprehensive Composite Application Framework commercially available, helped us design the necessary business processes and establish and manage solid integration between the processes and applications by means of our Enterprise Service Bus.

This ESB dramatically reduces the complexity and cost of integration projects, and provides a solid foundation on which it is easy to develop and deploy new event- and process-driven applications."

Etam experienced that the development of new functionality was done over 30% faster as well as cheaper. Data entry now happened through one single point of entry and the Cordys platform distributed it seamlessly over different systems. The process owners were provided with clear status overviews including key performance indicators. And transactions that were handled manually before now were executed and mtform distributed it seamlessly over different systems.
