With 13 years' experience working in the Baan arena - both throughout the UK and in Europe - including involvement in full life-cycle implementation projects, extensive experience in the industrial sector and formal training qualifications, Brookdale can benefit your organisation by providing guidance, advice, education and programming services.

Any Baan-related requirement can be addressed - from report writing through to interfaces and large development projects.

As Baan users, your staff will already be familiar with the function of Baan's standard display, maintain, processing and reporting sessions. With the day to day use of Baan and the specific requirements of your organisation, many people will have noticed functionality that they would prefer could be altered and others will have ideas as to how forms could be changed to suit their method of working to increase efficiency and productivity.

Brookdale can offer a full, client-specific, customisation service incorporating customisation tracking and patch management. Click here for more information.

Many organisations have dedicated systems that control specific areas of their business, such as goods receiving or production process control packages. The data gathered by these systems is often keyed in at source, processed and then duplicated in Baan.

Creating interfaces with Baan both to and from these systems saves immense time and eliminates errors in subsequent data transfer. Click here for more details on how creating Baan interfaces can help your organisation.

Transferring valuable data to or from legacy systems can be a time-consuming task and prone to error. Particularly when importing data into Baan, it is imperative to identify all target tables and fields that the data must populate.

Brookdale can handle your data migration issues to and from Baan using either Baan Exchange or by writing tailored development scripts. Click here to learn more.

Though Baan's functionality is comprehensive and covers all generic business areas, organisations often require specifically-designed and built sessions to enable either replication of the function of legacy systems or replacement and improvement of current methods.

New development can also encompass brand new functionality and can be integrated seemlessly into Baan. Visit the development page to examine some of the advantages and options available.

With an ERP package such as Baan, data content is immense and holds all the information required to enable an organisation to operate efficiently, productively and cost-effectively. Retrieving that information quickly, easily and with clarity to all departments is crucial in the smooth running of a business. Baan's standard reports provide an excellent method of reporting, but are generic and have fixed query fields and layouts.

Brookdale offers a first-class report design and report writing service, tailored to retrieve the data you want in the format and layout that best suits your requirements.

The ability to control and manage your organisation's users, data access permissions, printers, Baan companies, software environments, databases and patch/solution installation is core to the secure and robust operation of Baan. As business requirements change and new devices / personnel / test platforms need to be catered for, so you need to ensure that the infrastructure is in place to be able to support and monitor the set-up.

Brookdale is vastly experienced in all Baan administrative issues and can help you to either create new, or optimise existing configurations. Click here to view some examples of the administrative services offered.

Increasingly, businesses are discovering the advantages of using third-party, graphically-driven reporting packages. Business Objects' Crystal Reports is an excellent example of this type of software.

Using Baan drivers, Crystal is able to access the database (all controlled via Baan's own security) directly to retrieve the data and to present the results in the desired format, along with company logos and photographs etc. if required.

Crystal can also access multiple databases simultaneously to retrieve data from various sources.
