P2plus Knowledge Management:
Intranet, Workflow and Document Management
An intranet is the ideal basis for effective and secure internal communication.
This involves more than just sending e-mails. Regional branches and field
service can be connected to the company via an extranet. Document management
for structured document storage with automatic indexing and comfortable
search functions further increase the utility of an intranet. Workflow
management allows predefined business processes to be carried out confidently
again and again. P2plus thus has a comprehensive concept for the
knowledge management of the medium-sized company and it can be implemented
without huge technical expense.

P2plus APS/SCM
P2plus brings company data processing and the internet together on the basis of Microsoft Windows 2000 and the Microsoft .NET development platform. As P2plus itself has been realised with the newest of technologies (Web Services, ASP, XML, SOAP), services from the internet can be used without any complications. And the scalability of Windows 2000 and the .NET Enterprise Servers means that P2plus can be applied across a wide field, from small companies to corporate groups with numerous regional branches. Core components are web services, and user functional levels are realized in active server pages (ASP). All each user workstation requires is a current browser. What sets P2plus apart, however, is the ease with which it can be tailored to meet customer requirements. A highly comfortable client concept permits implementation in complex company structures. And implementing the system internationally is also simplified thanks to dynamic adjustment to different language environments and optimal ASP capabilities. Also, due to the fact that the user interface is completely browser-based, P2plus can be flexibly used with any access system.
