IT service provider ISD(www.isd.de) implements Nuclos Open Source ERP

– Flexible modular system replaces proprietary system from market-leading ERP provider

– Agile business software for individual business processes

Sauerlach, April 19, 2016 – Industrie Service für Datenverarbeitung GmbH (ISD) has replaced its proprietary ERP – a solution from the global market leader – with an open source system. The IT service provider with around 170 employees and headquarters in Ludwigshafen now manages its entire process chain with the free ERP toolkit Nuclos (www.nuclos.de). The implemented solution covers order, invoice, order and personnel management, warehousing, project planning and invoicing as well as time recording and administration. The development and implementation effort amounted to around 120 man-days; there are no license costs. ISD now benefits from a cost-effective and flexible system that can be easily adapted to individual requirements and processes.

Self-service center for employees

ISD has also implemented a self-service center for users with the modular system. Nuclos offers generic mechanisms with which individual requirements can be implemented very easily, processes can be defined and iteratively adapted and changed if necessary. These include editors for business objects, mask layouts, status models or business rules, with which the portal and workflows can be adapted precisely to the requirements and workflows of the employees. Via the Nuclos web client, users can easily access applications for time recording, absence requests or expense reports via their browser and from any end device. This not only makes day-to-day work easier, for example in the field, but also ensures a high level of project, expense and cost transparency at ISD.

“Nuclos offers us the flexibility that we always lacked with our old system,” says Ralf Trautz, CEO of ISD GmbH. “Our consulting and project business requires agility – from us, but also from the software we use to manage our processes. With the modular system, we can now make adjustments or changes very easily and at runtime. By separating the software core from the application, the system remains release-capable at all times.”
