Management Software Solution for GSK |
|
Earlier this year, GSK (Consumer Healthcare) Germany
purchased three InterForm400 output management
software applications. Two of these were for their IBM
iSeries 830 P40 and 720 P20 at their operation in Buhl in
Germany, and one for their IBM iSeries 730 P40 in the
UK.
SpaceTec staff visited their site in Buhl to set-up the
InterForm400 application, which was then deployed
across all of their European sites. In addition, GSK used
the services provided by the SpaceTec team to
help design their European documents and assist them
with going live. GSK's main application software is
J.D.Edwards.
Reinhard Schemel their Head of Infrastructure &
Operations, and Fritz Worsch his Senior
Manager, selected SpaceTec to manage this part of GSK's
European project, because of their ability to deliver on
time, within a very tight time-scale.
Fritz Worsch said that he was very pleased with how
quickly InterForm400 was deployed and the professional
support provided by SpaceTec to all the GSK staff in
delivering the solution on time. In September
2003 SpaceTec gave a two day training course to a
number of GSK staff at their UK headquarters in
Brentford Middlesex.
The UK operation under Paul Holding was the first site to
go live with InterForm400. John Langley was the main
person in the UK to deploy InterForm400 and had a live
application fully functional in December 2002. The main
requirement of GSK UK was to provide printing to a
remote site running RS600, which handle all their
deliveries from their distribution centre.
InterForm400 is supplied with unlimited user licences at
no additional cost. Also prices are based on the total
system rather than the number of partitions. For example,
GSK are using InterForm400 on their LPAR boxes and
although they are running multi-company applications for
their complete European Operation, they only pay a
single license cost for each box.
