In a perfect world, printers would never run out of paper or require toner; power would never be interrupted and all documents would arrive where and when they are expected. We all know that life can be unpredictable, but our business processes should keep running despite these mishaps. Without APOS Output Management how do we know our SAP BusinessObjects output was successfully delivered? For example, imagine a business scenario where an auto manufacturer contracts with 3rd party suppliers for accurate and timely shipments. This business model enables the auto manufacturer to make and deliver their product using a just in time manufacturing process. The 3rd party manufacturer begins production when an e-mail is received stating the quantity and due date of the order. Without a process to assure the delivery of the email, the auto manufacturer risks unnecessary delays in its manufacturing process and jeopardizes the planned release date of the product because it assumes that the 3rd party supplier is aware of the order. Or consider a major retailer that relies on just-in-time shipping to fulfill its orders from centrally located warehouses. How much business would the company lose if it could not print its shipping manifests, packing slips, and shipping labels? Reliable printing is absolutely essential for many critical business processes. 
Output issues can cause endless business process problems when they occur. It is important in today's budget-aware economy that document output problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently as soon as they arise. When an output job is invoked, it is important to know that the job was successful and if not, that a process is in place to correct the problem. APOS Output Management using LRS technology allows your SAP BusinessObjects system to invoke a process to correct the problem. With LRS handling the output destination, initiating rules-based recovery and providing feedback, you can be assured of successful output from your Business Intelligence system every time. This ensures productivity without interruption or unnecessary cost. Key questions addressed with Output Management: » Did my critical SAP BusinessObjects documents arrive at the intended email server destination? » Did my critical SAP BusinessObjects statements print successfully? » What is the status of my critical document sends? » How can I prove to others that my critical documents sends were executed successfully? If you have ever been asked these questions, and didn't have the answers, visit the APOS Output Management Integration Solution web site here or listen to the recorded webinar here, today! | |||||||||||||||
