Kaz is a $500 million dollar company that markets healthcare, home environment control systems, and medical products in over 65 countries around the globe.
You may not be familiar with the name-brand Kaz, but they develop and market products under a variety of labels such as Vicks, Braun, and Honeywell.
Why ShareVis: Kaz needed a way to track and control business processes from complex engineering procedures to day-to-day operational tasks. One of the most daunting challenges they faced was implementing a complicated engineering change request (ECR) process. Kaz tried to build a solution using Oracle ERP, but found that it was not flexible enough to meet their need for frequent changes and options that could branch to sub-options.
Automated Tooling Systems, Inc. (ATS) provides custom designed, built, and installed manufacturing systems to leading companies around the world. ATS has delivered more than 10,000 systems to manufacturers in industries including electronics, telecommunications, healthcare, solar energy, automotive, and consumer products.
Why ShareVis: Managing an expanding organization and providing a platform for Enterprise Document Management and Collaborating, SharePoint was a natural fit. The single weakness of SharePoint was in the area of Forms and Advanced Workflow. Many internal processes were slow and lacked sufficient control to keep projects moving and on schedule. ATS management sought to increase efficiency and shorten response times in these critical business processes. ShareVis was tasked with the job of assisting ATS to implement flexible business process improvement initiatives on SharePoint in a timely manner.
