The Challenge

Our client had most of their business processes supported by SAP R/3 family system. One of the most important business functions of any complex organization is financial management and in this particular case our client's employees were not satisfied with SAP R/3. They sometimes even had to use Excel spreadsheets to track expenditures and remaining funds. Eventually, the company requested an easier to use, more efficient solution, with more functionality/features and better performance, which we helped them to develop.

The Solution

Using the .NET development platform we developed an Intranet application to set, manage, and track budgets. The application imported purchase orders and invoices from SAP R/3 sub-system. The budgets were set at the beginning of a financial year through departments and projects hierarchy in the application. The application allowed instant tracking of expenses, adjustments to the budgets whenever necessary, and extensive reporting capabilities. A complex security hierarchy was supported in the system to reflect the organizational structure. A project manager for example, had access to only his/her project financial information, while a department head was able to view all data at all levels, from the department overall big picture and drilling down to any particular invoice. Another important function that we implemented was automatic e-mail notifications, triggered by certain events (For example, when a particular budget was nearing its end or an invoice could not be correctly identified with any project). Monthly status reports were automatically e-mailed to the users of the system as well. Our team also optimized the database and added data export capabilities at the end of the project for better performance usability and reliability.
