Wüstenrot & Württembergische AG benefits from REALTECH

With REALTECH’s help, W&W Informatik GmbH, the internal IT service provider within the Wüstenrot & Württembergische AG financial group, has successfully optimized its central SAP systems. In this way, the overall performance of the SAP applications has been increased in the Group divisions of Finance, Controlling, Banking and Human Resources. In addition, the homogenous system environment is partly to thank for the fact that system operation costs are now much lower than before.

REALTECH makes companies SOX-compliant

The international auditing and consulting company Ernst & Young confirms that REALTECH TransportManager software enables customers to comply completely with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) with regard to data and process transparency and availability. Ernst & Young also relies on REALTECH’s TransportManager itself, as the software ensures that all data can be traced and is documented in full for internal and external audits.

SAP NetWeaver training further expanded

A new challenge has emerged on the SAP consulting market, as SAP NetWeaver and the SAP Enterprise Service Architecture (ESA) have created a need for new consulting methods. Rather than the traditional form of SAP consulting, which was organized module-specifically, what is now needed is an end-to-end view of business processes – something that SAP experts will have to adjust to in the future. In view of this, REALTECH modified the qualification program for its SAP consultants in Germany early on.

Success in the first quarter

The restructuring measures initiated in 2004 have obviously begun to take effect, as REALTECH AG closed the first quarter of 2006 with a positive income from operations (EBIT). The last time the company had managed to do this was in the period from January to March 2000. What’s more, the Software division made a positive contribution to profits for the first time since being established.

Dividends distributed for the first time

This procedure, called the business case integration method, combines processes, applications and technologies to form a solution that brings companies real economic benefits.

ENSO migrates entire SAP system environment

As a result of using this open-source operating system, the company now benefits from reduced operating costs.
