About Konrad Hornschuch AG
Founded in 1898 and headquartered in Weißbeach near Heilbronn, Germany, Konrad Hornschuch AG is the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of films, high-tech synthetics and artificial leather, with more than 1,000 qualified employees from over 80 agencies worldwide. The d-c-fi x® product line comprises high-quality foil products that offer everyone the opportunity to create individual living environments, for example with self-adhesive foils, wall borders, table or floor coverings. The skai® brand is the first choice among Hornschuch partners in the industry. For example, noble leather looks can be found in high-quality automobiles, where they surpass the properties of the model in many respects.
The project
The merger of the “Industry” and “Consumer” divisions at Konrad Hornschuh required the introduction of an enterprise content management system that would provide greater transparency for all users. In several workshops, the IT department and the marketing department of the company, together with IPI, designed a company portal based on Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 with integration of data from the SAP system. Thanks to this solution, all important customer data is now transparently available in the customer information system “HIS”. In addition, the provision of forms in the enterprise portal ensures significantly shorter and more efficient work paths.
Quote:
Herbert Binus, Head of Information Management, Konrad Hornschuch AG.
“The good cooperation during the specification and implementation of the requirements, both between the internal teams of Konrad Hornschuch AG and with the external consultants of IPI GmbH, had a significant influence on the success of the project. Only in this way was it possible to successfully implement this extensive project and thus create a uniform work platform for all employees throughout the company.”
