Securitas implemented OpenERP's project management modules to manage its technical service operations. The solution centers on using projects, issues, and tasks to track service requests from alarm monitoring through on-site interventions. It provides automatic assignment of responsibilities, scheduling via the calendar, and notifications. The road ahead includes expanding service management capabilities and further system integration.

EclipseCon '08 - Lessons Learned from an Enterprise RCP ApplicationTonny Madsen
During the implementation of a major financial application for a large financial institution, we learned a lot about how to use Eclipse RCP as an application platform and especially some of the short-comings of the current platform.
This long talk goes through some of the lessons we learned and discusses some of the changes that could be made to Eclipse RCP to get a better platform for enterprise applications.
Active Alerts is an innovative support tool which pro-actively generates alerts on SAP application related issues. Users can be made aware when important events take place and IT can be alerted if a recognised problem needs attention. It’s an early warning system to help support your business.
It is aimed at any person or group who provides support for the SAP application to ensure smooth day-to-day running for the organisation. This could include the IT manager, IT administration manager, SAP support manager, external support organisation or the project implementation manager.
Active Alerts can work across all industries

Rfid roi-sme pilots presentation and results ueapme august 2012UEAPME
The main goal of RFID-ROI-SME is to boost the adoption of RFID technology by wide SME communities, while at the same time creating business opportunities for innovative RFID solution providers within the EU. The aim is to demonstrate tangible benefits of RFID technology across many different sectors and business cases. These benefits will then be disseminated to wider SME communities in the form of case studies, best practices and blueprints. To this end, the project has integrated, deployed, organized and coordinated eight RFID pilots in six European countries (including one international pilot) covering different sectors, starting in March 2010 until May 2012.
This is a presentation about the RFID-ROI-SME project pilots, their business evaluations, key performance indicators, major issues and lessons learnt.
