December 2011 - DSR: New pre-assigned rule sets for CML (Loans Management) and CRM

From January 2012 two new specific rule sets will be launched. On one hand – interesting for the banking sector – for Loans Management (CML), and – also interesting for all other business sectors – for CRM matters. These rule sets are designed and summarised to the essential and can customized quickly and easily.

For existing customers it will be possible very easily to relicense their software. We will send relevant DSR-files for the software upgrade on request!

The already existing rule set for SAP HR/HCM is now supplemented by a four-level reporting tree to visualise formal key issues in the field of structural authorizations and organisation matters. Additionally it will be possible to compare the structural authorizations with ABAP rule settings to detect and evaluate error sources directly and solve them immediately - all from one DSR interface (Single Point of Control). We introduced this solution at the 7.AdManus Praxistage-congress in November 2011 and gained quite a lot of positive feedback.

Get advice from the benefits of the new DSR pre-assigned rule set. It will work very efficiently and professionally, for you as well!
