Offline synchronization<br />
Whereas the administration of the Internet server is relatively<br />
unproblematic and straightforward, with the CD<br />
installation version it is important to make sure that all<br />
participants have roughly the same version. Whereas changes<br />
in the Internet impact immediately, because all users<br />
receive the latest data wh<strong>en</strong>ever an update is made, CD<br />
installation repres<strong>en</strong>ts a deliberate isolation. Dep<strong>en</strong>ding<br />
on the frequ<strong>en</strong>cy of updates and the number of users it<br />
will be necessary, therefore, to automate the updating of<br />
the software and the data.<br />
Reporting<br />
A disadvantage of conv<strong>en</strong>tional sales tools such as printed<br />
catalogs or software used on a local basis is that it is difficult<br />
to determine with any great accuracy who is actually<br />
making use of the offering. It is important, however, for<br />
success to be measurable.<br />
The <strong>imos</strong>-net solution can log every access to the system<br />
and provide selective information about the way in<br />
which the system is used. Similarly, it is possible to research<br />
specific criteria over time. The database-supported<br />
reports can be adapted to individual requirem<strong>en</strong>ts and<br />
be integrated into master systems, <strong>en</strong>abling the supplier<br />
to gain information about customers before they have<br />
ev<strong>en</strong> placed an order.<br />
Rights managem<strong>en</strong>t system<br />
The configuration of prices and catalogs in the user<br />
manager repres<strong>en</strong>ts a simple form of customizing capability.<br />
With the rights managem<strong>en</strong>t system, however, it is<br />
possible to go much further in terms of the differ<strong>en</strong>tiated<br />
pres<strong>en</strong>tation of which functions can be used by<br />
which user. For example, parts of the managem<strong>en</strong>t<br />
system can be allocated to several users.<br />
Server modules<br />
Languages, curr<strong>en</strong>cies, countries<br />
The <strong>imos</strong>-net solution can be used internationally without<br />
a hitch. Specific applications permit international partners,<br />
customers and employees to be integrated in existing<br />
structures via the Internet. If a country-specific version has<br />
be<strong>en</strong> set up there is in principle no further configuring<br />
required to <strong>en</strong>able users to be integrated in the system or,<br />
should it become necessary, to take them out again.<br />
Pricing modules<br />
The <strong>imos</strong>-net pricing modules are the prerequisite for the<br />
automatic g<strong>en</strong>eration of orders. They include not only pricing<br />
modules for international use but also terms and conditions,<br />
curr<strong>en</strong>cy, value added tax and assembly and delivery<br />
costs.<br />
