Cloud without limit

The new digital world demands powerful platforms that allow experimentation, respond agilely to change.

Modern, digital technologies see themselves as a panacea for software manufacturers and end users: quickly launch applications for new business models, make processes more efficient, introduce systems faster and with lower risks, reduce IT costs.

Cloud solutions promise extensive functionality quickly, with little effort and risk, and thus offer themselves as alternatives to the classic on-premise ERP systems, even if their individual components do not always have the promised integration maturity.

They consistently pursue the shift from the traditional "What would you like?" to the forward-looking (?) "We'll guide you!" approach.

You no longer get what you want, but what you supposedly need. It's life within a predefined corridor that can, after all, be extended by developer tools such as the SAP Cloud Platform.

But what happens if you can't realize your ideas using the existing range of functions and the extension options offered?

What opportunities do IT and users have to engage in the creative process that the digital world demands of them?

How can they constantly develop processes further without experiencing the ERP standard as a brake block?

In such cases, "bimodal IT" brings degrees of freedom like the digital world needs to breathe. In a bimodal environment, stable, reliable (and sluggish) core systems coexist with agile solutions that integrate well.

With Metasonic, Allgeier offers a powerful set of tools for highly agile business activities. The intuitive approach allows all users to design and continuously adapt their own processes.

This frees up resources in IT. With flexible modules, individual solutions are created quickly and in a standardized manner and can also be changed again and again during operation.

At Allgeier, we have implemented several scenarios and tested the integration with SAP and other third-party systems: From invoice receipt verification to master data creation and IT change control in a validated environment.

Users and IT experts together described their business processes with Metasonic and the resulting process models were not only immediately executable, but also resulted in a web application in just a few steps.

It was immediately ready for use and can also be changed again at any time. In this way, expertise was easily exchanged and coordinated among colleagues, while software solutions that could be run in parallel were created.

Metasonic helps transform the IT department from a bottleneck to a catalyst for business. Users are involved in system design and IT is able to understand and meet their needs with unprecedented speed and efficiency.

Metasonic offers an uncomplicated way to fulfill special requests, contributes to SAP flexibility and thus increases user acceptance. By implementing special requests outside the SAP system, there are no negative effects for SAP release capability.

As an easy-to-use platform, it increases the efficiency of SAP implementation while allowing shorter process release cycles. And the ability to incorporate manual workflows and third-party systems enables easy end-to-end process automation.

Cloud solutions still don't deliver everything they promise, but there are viable ways to give them a leg up!
