Steinbacher Dämmstoff GmbH
Three Questions for Thomas Bevc
What was your starting point?
Our starting point was that we were faced with the challenge of setting up a uniform cost reporting system for three companies with different financial accounting structures. Since then, we have also changed the financial accounting software in our source system from JET Financials to Comarch ERP and made major structural adjustments. CP was on hand to support us throughout the process.
What are your highlights?
The highlights of the Corporate Planner solutions, alongside the software's ease of use, are definitely the expertise and the high standard of service provided by the CP employees. During project implementations, I have had personal contact with Mr Mark Gehann and Ms Silke Gebhard, and both have provided an incredible amount of input with their expert knowledge – not only in the field of their software, but also in terms of content. As a result, I was able to learn a great deal for myself too. But I'm also very impressed with the CP-Campus and their customer portal, which work really well. I've never experienced this level of expertise among the staff at any other software provider.
What lessons have you learned?
As a consequence of the software's wide range of possibilities and its ease of use, it might sometimes be perceived as a threat. The CP solutions are so comprehensive that you won't always get round to exploring all of their possibilities in your day-to-day business.

"CP enables us to structure and analyse large amounts of partially unstructured data from our various source systems (ERP, OLAP databases, payroll accounting, etc.). Not having to depend on an IT department makes the job a whole lot easier."
