The Swiss software company coresystems AG celebrated its Partner Day last weekend. As was to be expected, the add-on producers for SAP Business One also approached this topic a little differently than others.
Keynote with fun interludes
Already the Keynote was not the usual review and outlook, but was interspersed with sketch interludes, in which primarily Yann Stähli as a cleaner could prove that he could also earn a living as an actor.
However, there is probably no reason to change at the moment, since the development of the coresystems, the Manuel Grenacher is quite impressive. The Swiss company first appeared on the "SAP horizon" in 2006 with 10 employees. Today there are over 70 employees serving 5,000 customers.
From the mobile cloud to the integration platform
The direction of this fast-moving train became clear from the coresystems CEO's further comments. The coresuite cloud in particular will be a focal point of future activities. In future, it will not only be the basis for exchanging data between mobile apps and business applications. Rather, the "cloud" operated by Amazon is to develop into a data hub between the various systems. Of course, this integration platform needs one thing first: as many connectors as possible to as many business applications as possible. To this end, coresystems is now inviting partners to build these bridges and, in return, share in the added value that this creates.
Roadmap for the next 3 years
The concrete roadmap for the coresuite cloud was presented by CTO Yves Senn
- 2011 the supply of the field service with mobile functions is basically complete for sales and service. There will still be some enhancements in the handling of user-defined fields.
- 2012 new POS functions such as receipt creation, electronic payment procedures and reporting for smartphones and iPads. Furthermore, there will be project planning, working time account management and release procedures. In addition, services such as Zendesk and D&B are to be added. databases be integrated.
- Until 2013: the coresuite cloud should then be a fully-fledged business integration platform that allows the most diverse systems to communicate with each other and exchange data.
and then ... Hum Hum
In addition to workshops and excellent catering, coresystems also had a special treat in shop for the guests. A whole fleet of exquisite cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche was available for an iPad-controlled scavenger hunt on Swiss roads. The biggest challenge, however, was not to commit any speeding offences.
Some SAP employees were there too... I could imagine that they discussed on the way home how they could top that ?
