. Document Automation


The SOS GmbH specialises in projects for the automation of document generation workflows. We carry out individual customer projects for document dialog processing with Windows and Web, as well as serial letters for batch processing, based on our DOCUMENT FACTORY product. DOCUMENT FACTORY is integrated into the company workflow and works on all standard platforms.

Services

.Outsourcing of Output Management


Documents which have been created with an Office text system are collected on a server and then consolidated in a database. Our product PRINTOUT organises the transfer of the documents to a service provider, such as the Deutsche Post AG and their partners.

The SOS GmbH implements projects to enable business documents for automated output management. GUIs are implemented for monitoring document delivery and accounting.

Services

.Open Source Technology Integration


We use Open Source technology (e.g. PHP, Apache, OpenOffice, Tomcat, MySQL) and commercial products (e.g. Java, Oracle, SQL Server) to automate business processes.

Projects have been implemented for larger companies, for example 25 German libraries take part in the Document Order and Delivery project in which their stock is offered to private and commercial users over the internet.

A central accounting application for the Document Order and Delivery project was implemented using Open Source components: the efficient processing of more than 100.000 orders per month - posting, billing and accounting - is achieved with a high degree of automation.

Services



SOS GmbH organises the reception and distribution of data between different IT systems.

Support is provided for data exchange with simple data files and XML formats. Data transfers are automated between different platforms. Data deliveries are routed to subscriber systems according to individual workflow requirements.

The Job Scheduler is a flexible and multifunctional tool for the implementation of workflow requirements: interfaces for programming languages such as Java or Perl allow the efficient implementation of jobs, definition of job chains and configuration management.
