ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems

Dokumenthantering hos ASSA

is continuously developing and improving its products, so large amounts of technical information and documentation are under constant revision. Previously, the company had different systems for different types of products and information was only accessible to a handful of people. In planning to modernise the entire system by replacing these with a single flexible and simpler system for managing product structures, models and drawings, the choice fell on Advantum.

With Advantum, Assa Abloy ES can work uniformly with all their products. At the start, Assa Abloy ES used Advantum as a pure PDM system (Product Data Management) for technical documentation, where drawings, 3D models, product and item structures and other technical information are important ingredients. In time, the installation grew, as has the number of users and functionality. 

In the change control process, vital to Assa Abloy ES, the powerful workflow functionality of Advantum becomes the natural engine behind it. Advantum now gives Assa Abloy ES natural control and oversight over this extensive process. Many company functions are involved and Advantum enables traceability for all actions taken – and speeds the process if a drawing gets stuck along the chain.

Assa Abloy ES uses Advantum globally at their development centres in China, Czech Republic and USA thanks to Advantum’s ability to manage distributed file vaults.

Förenklade dagliga rutiner och förbättrad kvalitetssäkring är två faktorer som tidigt blev påtagliga efter installationen av Advantum. Genom Advantums funktioner för säkerhet och behörighetskontroll kan användarna alltid vara säkra på var, när och hur dokument och ritningar är upprättade och förändrade. Systemet stödjer Assa Abloy ESs normala rutiner, vilket innebär att arbetsflödet blir tydligt och lätt att följa.

With our industry solutions and pre-configurations, we can help you in a large number of areas. However, there are needs that are so industry or customer unique that they require a separate configuration of Advantum. With our long experience in configuring Advantum in a customer-specific way, there is a great possibility that we can also help you.

Truly flexible

With Advantum's extreme flexibility, you can take on the challenges of today staying prepared for future needs and requirements for technical and organisational changes.

Flexible Licenses

Advantum is a flexible system, as is our licensing model! We use flexible licensing and focus on the number of concurrent users in the system. By sharing licenses, Advantum becomes a cost-efficient choice for you.

Should you configure or customize
 the system?

One of the strengths Advantum has is extreme flexibility combined with it being a standard software product. This combination means you can have management that matches your needs and requirements without needing to develop a custom solution.
Configuration
Configuration means achieving the management you're looking for with the help of standard components. No new functionality needs to be developed, instead the components are so flexible they can be configured to look and function as you want. The system can be easily kept up-to-date by using our latest version with minimal consulting efforts.
Customization
Customization means creating a system unique to a customer with functions that need to be maintained and updated separately for each individual customer. The functionality is not tried or tested and the costly work of keeping customer-specific systems updated often leaves further development under-invested or left out altogether.

Why we advocate configuration
 instead of customization

Through the years, we have learned that the needs of our customers are often very different from one another. We have addressed this by offering the same system to everyone. Does that sound strange? It’s easy! What we do is simply configure the system to look and function according to your needs and requirements. This means that all of our customers have the same system, but that they often look and function in entirely different ways.

Why is the difference between configuration and customization
 so important?

When you adapt a system, you create something unique for a customer which then needs to be maintained in an equally unique way. A configurable standard system can be maintained through common maintenance and is therefore much more cost efficient.
