Initial situation
Added value in a familiar portal
Before OMN
- Web-based ordering mainly for standard print products
- Further applications such as the company name archive and image database were to be integrated
- Very heterogeneous customer structure with individual requirements
DG Nexolution is the competence center for solutions, services and products for the companies of the cooperative network, in which the Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken play an important role. Under the umbrella brand, members and customers find a comprehensive range of services from various specialist disciplines.
As the card competence center, the “Cards” business unit equips cooperative banks with products from the cooperative card family and implements card projects such as employee ID cards or ticketing solutions. “Media” brings together classic publishing products such as forms, specialist publications and customer information – in print and electronic form. “MarktService” offers services that support the banks’ sales activities, such as marketing programs, the “Geno-InfoMonitor” TV solution for branches or the media library. The “Office” business unit covers office supplies, office and banking technology, IT accessories, payment transaction forms, equipment, promotional items and calendars, as well as solutions such as logistics and shipping services, book-media services, Page-Management®, “GenoMax® – Branch of the Future” and various web-to-print offerings.
DG Nexolution had been offering web-based solutions for some time, initially mainly print products for general business correspondence. The next step was to give customers further added value within the familiar system environment of the “GenoBuy” portal: lean processes, more flexibility and a better cost-benefit ratio.
Project objectives
What mattered to DG Nexolution
01
Fast, easy integration
A solution that integrates the online solutions and further applications such as the company name archive or image database quickly and easily.
02
A familiar online world
Customers should always stay in their familiar environment and not have to get used to a new application – an important acceptance criterion.
03
Speed and usability
Online, speed comes first and usability second; only then do features come into play.
04
Simple processes, tailored solutions
Cost savings through simple processes, fast order processing and simplified invoicing – while also providing tailored solutions for a very heterogeneous customer structure.
05
Standard software instead of a one-off
Benefit from the ongoing development of modular, maintainable standard software in order to respond quickly to new requirements.
