Digital asset management can save millions. At RWE, SW asset management begins with an order in the internal SW online store and ends with automatic deployment and SW maintenance on the user's end device.
A lot happens in between - in quite a few different systems. All previous attempts by RWE with well-known and reputable solution providers and service providers had failed due to the rapid change in the global corporate and process landscape.
Our concept and approach was therefore based on a low-code approach for the user interface and a stable EAI integration behind SharePoint as a document and workflow hub in order to be able to react quickly to changes in a global environment despite high system stability.
Based on the developed architecture, an integrated software asset management platform was implemented, which today covers the entire life cycle of software assets at RWE.
The implementation challenge
- Integration of numerous existing systems
- Implementation of complex end-to-end processes
- Ensuring performance and stability
- Simultaneous flexibility for future requirements
- Fast time-to-market despite high complexity
The implementation by KIINNO
Low-code-based user interface Development of an intuitive solution based on SharePoint and BPA xRM.
Enterprise Integration realized Technical implementation of the EAI architecture to connect all relevant systems.
End-to-end process implementation Mapping of the entire process:
- Ordering in the software store
- Automated deployment
- Ongoing maintenance and management
Data integration and analysis Merging previously separate data sources to create complete transparency.
Iterative scaling
- Go-live of the core processes in just 6 months (Germany)
- Expansion to other countries and functions in agile sprints
The concrete benefit
Savings in the millions Identification and optimization of license surpluses.
360°-Prozessabdeckung Complete digitalization of the software lifecycle.
High user acceptance Simple and intuitive use.
Stable operating platform Reliable integration of all systems.
High adaptability Fast response to new requirements.
Long-term success
The solution has been successfully in use for over 10 years - clear proof of the quality of the implementation and the sustainability of the architecture.
Customer testimonial
"With SharePoint, BPA xRM and EFEXCON, we were able to solve a challenge where all previous approaches had failed. " Dieter Bürgel, Head of Software & Services Department, RWE AG
Conclusion
KIINNO has transformed the architecture into a functioning reality - performant, scalable and sustainable.
Only consistent implementation turns a good strategy into measurable business value.
