Infotel, là où vous êtes
The Challenge:
One of our long-standing clients approached us to provide an AI solution for defect detection, prevention, and workflow optimisation.
A major automotive firm approached us for a digital transformation project which includes the seamless transition from a mainframe application to an intuitive web application for hassle-free navigation.
As part of ongoing relationship with our esteemed client, Infotel had several discussions to understand the pain points of our client. Some of the significant challenges faced by them are
- There were lot of non-value-added activities identified as the workflows and UI/UX elements are limited on their existing technology.
- Uncertainty in using the new web application in place of the existing mainframe for production planning activities
- Additional testing effort on mainframe resources who are experienced in the production ordering domain

Our Solution:
We knew the answer to the client’s issue would lie in developing software that supports a reliable and adaptable system.
The team at Infotel conducted detailed requirement-gathering sessions and business process discussions with stakeholders involving the offshore team to understand and align with the business functionalities.
- Regular application demonstrations were conducted by the team to stakeholders and end-users to educate them to use the new web application, build trust and confidence, and encouraged them to use the modernised version of application to replace the legacy applications workflow.
- A cross-functional approach was followed where Java developers were utilised to prepare test scenarios to test the application. This approach helped to optimize the resource utilization, minimised reliance on specialised mainframe testers.
- Role-based access control (RBAC) was implemented within the web application to ensure data security and compliance, allowing users to access only the information and functionality relevant to their roles.
A user-friendly and intuitive web application was built tailored to the team’s forecasting workflows.
Role-based access to ensure data security.
The web application can easily be hosted on a cloud platform for scalability or on-premises for greater control.

I want to share user appreciation of the tool OPTIMA & OPERATIONAL ALERTS. We have very positive feedback from the users and the management. This contributes to our process automation expansion and gives many benefits to our team. Of course, in terms of NVA reduction, but also in terms of error reduction & user experience. Much better to attract new talents using this OPTIMA interface rather than SCOPE! Many thanks for your support in delivering this tool
