Innovative Aerospace supply chains, collaboration, partnerships and e-business
Aerospace collaboration portals, those customisable, internet web browser based applications that provide "one stop" access to each user's most relevant data and tools really can deliver a solid return on investment in very short order. They allow you to unlock business potential and enhance productivity by providing role tailored access to information and processes from a single internet web based portal. Aerospace collaboration portals have built in functionality to help you deliver applications, information, key performance indicators (KPI’s), and processes to employees, customers, and partners across your organisation.
Why Aerospace collaboration portals make good business sense – Information really is the lifeblood of your business, and anything you can do to help your employees, customers, and suppliers make better decisions faster is bound to be good for the bottom line. Aerospace collaboration portals enable companies to deliver business information and processes to employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners through a single source internet web browser portal. This makes it easy for everyone who interacts with your business systems to locate the information they need quickly and to complete common tasks with a minimum of extra effort.
5 ways Aerospace collaboration portals can help your business run more smoothly and profitably through better collaboration.
1 – Unlock the potential of all your employees - Accelerate productivity across your business by providing employees with immediate access to business applications and to updated, accurate information so they can make better decisions faster.
2 – Take the hassle (and expense) out of common tasks - Timesheets, expense reports, requisitions, and other tasks can be delivered through the user's internet web browser, reducing the time it takes to manage these processes and eliminating related paperwork and data re-entry. And, by opening the flow of useful business Information to your employees, you'll reduce the endless stream of requests for custom reports and the countless calls for simple business facts. Free your IT, accounting, and support resources to drive your business forward.
3 – Give executives at-a-glance access to key business metrics - Enable executives and business decision makers to assess the current health of your business and respond quickly when conditions change with KPI’s and SLA’s.
Multiple views and alert ranges: Using graphs, tables, and green / yellow / red conditional alerts, companies can create KPI’s that draw attention to the most important aspects of each information view. Decision makers can then drill down quickly to discover underlying causes of changing conditions.
Easy to define: Once you've built the underlying queries, it's a simple process to define and deploy the KPI’s most important to your business success, making it easy for decision makers to identify hot spots and act quickly to drive your business forward.
Role tailored Access: Individual KPI’s can be created for each executive, depending on their areas of responsibility. Role tailored access enables you to align the right information with each individual. Easy Updating: KPI’s can be refreshed as often as needed, so decision makers will always be working with current, accurate information.
4 – Share business information with customers and suppliers - Work more effectively with customers, suppliers, and other business partners by granting secure access to business information such as order status, inventory levels, and payment data. Provide access to information stored in other systems and deliver it via the Web to the right people at the right time so they can make better informed decisions to keep your business moving forward and your customers happy.
5 – Give your organisation a framework for collaboration - You can extend powerful information sharing and collaboration tools that foster teamwork and improves performance. Add sites for projects and meetings: Create pages with all the resources team members need including calendars, participant lists, announcements, document libraries, and other Web parts to record activities, share and edit documents, track meeting notes, and provide links to other relevant sites.
Connect to external data sources: Expand the reach of business information by allowing appropriate people secure access to information, but other sources of business information within your business portal site.
