Central integration platform instead of isolated solutions

The challenge

The heterogeneous IT landscape with numerous isolated applications led to long throughput times and poor data quality at Westfalen Weser Netz. Instead of manual processes, media-broken data flows, and inconsistent user interfaces, a central platform was needed to DMS connect systems such as SAP, GIS DMS , integrate external service providers, and holistically digitize processes.

The solution

With the introduction of the low-code platform X4 BPMS, Westfalen Weser Netz received a central integration solution including comprehensive adapters. These not only enable interfaces to SAP GIS, but also allow all data required for the processes to be retrieved and transferred. X4 Web Apps also X4 Web Apps user interfaces for internal and external users, enabling them to process data from various backend systems in a single, intuitive environment.
