SAP® VC/IPC – Extensions

ORISA can refer to extensive experience from customer projects in the use, adaptation and extension of the SAP® configurator IPC. Our customers benefit from our many years of expert knowledge, technological expertise and direct cooperation with the SAP® development teams. Our adaptations and extensions secure the software life cycle by maintaining the release stability of the overall application.

We support your team with the following project topics:

  • Modelling
    The efficient and correct creation of models in VC Mode with compatible support of the SAP® IPC requires experience, very good knowledge of the modelling syntax and extensive product knowledge. Especially for the modelling activities for system configuration with the SAP® SSC (Solution Sales Configuration) in advanced mode, many years of knowledge are necessary.
  • Integration
    To integrate the SAP® IPC variant configurator into the various scenarios of your sales process, we provide application and interface programming that automatically processes the call and data transfer.

  • Operating concept
    Our practical experience shows that extensive adaptations of the interface to the needs and corporate identity of the client company are necessary within the project. The excellent training of our team in the use of SAP® programme enhancement concepts and the concepts of the W3 allow an effective and favourable implementation of your requirements and ideas.

    Alternatively, the user interface can also be implemented with the ORISA Web Framework. This implementation offers the following advantages:

    • Creation of clear operating screens for complex multi-level dynamic models
    • Performance increase by transmitting only the changed data for review

    • Stable view without flickering

  • Functionality
    Customised functions, display and navigation elements, processing and analysis functions extend the scope of operation and functionality of the application. Our extensive knowledge in the use of SAP® programme enhancement concepts allows us to efficiently implement your requirements and ideas.
  • Product visualisation
    An extension pre-implemented by ORISA creates vivid dynamic product visualisations.

  • Offline – Usage
    The application and operability of the SAP® IPC locally on a PC without an Internet connection is enabled by an additional offline scenario.
    Further information on the offline scenario

    The offline solution includes:

    • the availability and identical use of the software components and configuration data in online and offline mode
    • the distributability of the application and configuration data from a central system to the local, offline working PCs, transfer and distribution via CD-ROM, USB stick or web service
    • the installation-free start of the application through data provision with ORISA File Database (an SQL-compatible database, tuned and optimised for IPC access).

    The technology used in the offline scenario offers the following advantages:

    • data access without installation or registration, also directly from CD-ROM or USB stick
    • high storage density, as the data is read directly from ZIP-compressed files
    • efficient data compression and storage, so that even large databases (MS SQL) can be transferred unproblematically via CD-ROM/USB stick
    • high reading speed, as the data is stored in Java binary format and structurally optimised
    • driver classes are provided for the use of the file database in the IPC

    The offline working application only requires an installed web browser (IE current version). All programme components including Java Runtime Environment and Apache Tomcat component are delivered with the application.
