Certified Partner in Focus – Die Erste Geige

Barbara Wittman, Die Erste Geige: " I am an enthusiastic ARCWAY Cockpit user since 4 years. At that time - in its first version - Cockpit was already an insider tip for depicting complex data prcisely. Cockpit has become more than a tool to me. Cockpit represents not only effiency, but also communication and mutual understanding for me. Therefore, I actively apply Cockpit in many areas of my consulting portfolio. Here is an excerpt:

Process Optimization

As an SAP retail advisor, I work with international commecial enterprises especially in the process analysis and optimization. The main questions my customers ask me are. how can my errors be eliminated? How can new processes be covered with the SAP software?

Cockpit allows me to easily and swiftly analyse processes, make room for improvement obvious, and create entire business specifications.

Saving Knowledge

ERP implementing projects often require years. When the last consultant has left the project, this leaves an enormous knowledge gap. Who knowas everything about the project now? Together with the project members, I work out business and IT plans and a glossary which brings the most important aspects of the project to the point.

Making Innovation transparent

Is SOA a term which you cannot easily apply on your enterprise? Don't panic - you are not alone. many ask themselves how to apply this new technology on their organisation and where exactly to begin. By creating landscapes with Cockpit, I answer exactly these questions. Once a general overview is made, I can clearly analyse which process or field is suited for a start in the SOA world."
