CONNEXUS CONCEPTS has the expertise and flexibility to help you design and develop your business processes to expedite the exchange of information that is essential to the product development process among your business partners. We have considerable knowledge and experience with raw material physical and chemical data, and regulatory information requirements, and can assist you in building processes that allow you to obtain that data in a seamless fashion which aligns with your product development process.
In today's process industry market, many businesses utilize commercial systems or have implemented home grown solutions for their product lifecycle management needs. In most cases, these solutions often replace manual, paper-based processes and spreadsheet solutions that have evolved over time.
The data in these systems originate from external sources, such as suppliers, regulators, and customers. Data arrives in various forms (faxes, email texts and document attachments). In the majority of cases, data in these various formats must be reviewed, interpreted and re-keyed into your PLM systems before they can be used to support the development process.
This slow manual process of reentering data is a major source of inefficiency and can also lead to data integrity problems. There is a much simpler way to get access to your data, which involves utilizing readily available commercial technology and some business process reengineering.
The technology to solve this problem has been available for over a decade, and many progressive and forward-thinking industries have adopted this technology to facilitate data exchange. Standards, such as EDI, SWIFT, RosettaNet, HL7 and HIPPA have been used throughout the electronic and healthcare industries for many years.
The Food & Beverage, Consumer Product and Specialty Chemical industries are just starting to address this same challenge due to market pressures and the availability of supportive and effective back-office systems.
CONNEXUS CONCEPTS has a passion for solving data integration problems. We specialize in:
- Understanding chemical and food ingredient and raw material technical data which is used for compliance with regulatory requirements and product labeling requirements, and hazard warnings.
- Working with your business resources to define the business requirements. Our domain knowledge makes it easy for us to capture the requirements completely and correctly and to communicate them accurately so there is no confusion or missed opportunities.
- We collaborate with your business partners on your behalf ensuring your needs are well represented, as well as respecting their trade secrets and intellectual property.
- We document the business requirements and work with your IT professionals on the implementation of the solution, and assist with user acceptance testing to ensure the business requirements are satisfied.
- If you prefer, we can implement a technical solution for you using commercial software, and tools and technologies to author, collect and transform data into the proper format for your PLM system.
Our goal is to give your company easy access to data so that product development operations flow efficiently, smoothly and profitably.
