When deciding on a configuration solution, the sustainable benefits for the users and the processes should always be considered in addition to deciding on the correct approach and the appropriate technology. In line with the requirements and ideas of its customers, ORISA offers software solutions based on various technologies and advises customers during the selection process.

ORISA’s standardised configuration system CREALIS® has a comprehensive portfolio with numerous functions. CREALIS® PDM is the comprehensive maintenance environment for all data and dependencies that are required as part of a configuration solution. No programming knowledge is required when carrying out the data maintenance work. CREALIS® CPQ is the product configurator, which has its basis in the PDM data. It offers extensive role concepts, for example for retail scenarios, the security features of a modern cloud solution, and up-to-date, user-friendly functionality for use on all common devices. What’s more, it comes with modules such as an engaging 3D display and a CRM system that ensures seamless integration with particular emphasis on sales tasks.

Configuration solutions based on the SAP® variant configurator SAP® IPC also offer a highly comprehensive range of functions. It is often the case that the system cannot be used out-of-the-box, as the standardised package may not meet all requirements in terms of usability and range of functions. However, the SAP platforms provide sufficient approaches for adapting and expanding the front-end and back-end individually, for example. This means that the standardised ERP processes can be applied to a wide range of configuration solutions. ORISA has implemented a wide range of solutions in this environment, from minimal adaptations of the SAP® IPC user interface to completely independent offline solutions.

Another approach to achieving the optimal configuration solution could also be custom development. As a software provider, ORISA has the necessary expertise when it comes to implementing modern and sustainable solutions. There are many reasons for not opting for standard software. One reason may be the existing technical framework, which places very strict requirements on the technology used. As a result, many standard solutions are simply non-starters and those that remain under consideration do not offer the desired range of functions. A very wide-ranging customised functional scope could be another motive, which would involve too many alterations to a standard software package. Thus, it sometimes becomes challenging for the standard software provider to guarantee long-term support if the standard software needs to undergo strategic development. In addition, the database that is available sometimes contributes to the decision to follow an individual path. It is not always possible to map extensive data structures and integrated dependencies with a standardised structure. In this case, the best approach is to develop a state-of-the-art, high-performance rule engine.
