Abstract(s)
Comunicação é sem dúvida a grande palavra-chave entre os sistemas informáticos. A criação
de um canal de comunicação que permita a interligação de vários sistemas e fontes de dados, independentemente
da sua localização física, poderá proporcionar um enorme valor acrescentado para
a empresa.
Neste contexto, e com o objectivo de melhorar os seus processos de negócio, o Grupo Visabeira
decidiu substituir o seu actual Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), o GrVisa, pelo SAP.
Com a implementação do novo ERP surgiu a necessidade de desenvolver novas ferramentas de
suporte à operação. A Viatel, empresa de telecomunicações do Grupo, alertou também para a necessidade
de adquirir um sistema que permitisse a emissão de Guias de Transporte, mesmo na
ausência de ligação ao servidor central. Este sistema deveria assegurar também a integração dos
dados com o respectivo módulo do SAP.
Sendo a Visabeira Digital a empresa responsável pelo software do Grupo, analisou as vantagens
que um sistema integrador poderia disponibilizar para outras empresas. Assim, pretendeu não
só implementar a funcionalidade de emissão de Guias de Transporte, mas também estruturar uma
arquitectura de interligação global que garantisse a expansão do sistema a novas funcionalidades e
a outras empresas.
Como fruto da implementação deste projecto surgiu uma nova arquitectura, baseada na arquitectura
cliente/servidor, estruturada e subdividida em três sistemas: Sistema Cliente, Sistema Integrador/
Servidor e Sistemas de Informação Externa.
O Sistema Cliente implementa um funcionamento dual, permitindo que as suas funcionalidades
possam aceder a dados em tempo real (modo online), operar recorrendo exclusivamente aos
dados armazenados localmente (modo offline) e ainda, estabelecer um consenso entre ambos os
modos de funcionamento.
O Sistema Integrador/Servidor foi criado com o objectivo de centralizar o acesso aos Sistemas
de Informação Externos num único ponto. Desta forma, toda a comunicação e integração de dados
entre os diversos Sistemas de Informação é processada por este.Já os Sistemas de Informação Externos representam os Sistemas de Informação com os quais o
Sistema Integrador/Servidor comunica para obter/integrar informação.
Após a implementação deste projecto os principais resultados obtidos foram: o aumento da
produtividade; a integração automática de dados entre os diversos Sistemas de Informação; a redução
de custos dos links entre armazéns; e, por fim, a criação de uma plataforma que permite a uniformização
do desenvolvimento de software.
ABSTRACT: Communication is undoubtedly the biggest keyword among informatics systems. The creation of a communication channel that allows the interconnection of various systems and data sources, regardless of their physical location, provides an enormous value to the company. In this context, and with the objective of improving its business processes, the Visabeira Group decided to replace its existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the GrVisa, by SAP. With the implementation of new ERP, it was necessary to develop new tools to support the operation. The Viatel, a telecommunications company of the Group, also warned about the need to acquire a system that would allow the issuance of waybills, even without a connection to the central server. This system should also ensure the integration of data with the respective SAP module. Being Visabeira Digital the company responsible for the software of the group, it has analyzed the advantages that an integrator system can provide to other companies. The objective isn’t just the implementation of the functionality of waybills issuing, but also to contribute to a global interconnection architecture that would guarantee the expansion of the system to new features and other companies. As a result of this project implementation, a new architecture arises. This architecture, based on client/server architecture, was structured and divided into three systems: Client System, Integrator/ Server System and External Information Systems. The Client System implements a dual function, allowing their facilities to access data in real time (online mode), operate using only the locally stored data (offline) and also establish a consensus between these two operation modes. The Integrator/Server System was created with the aim of centralizing access to external information systems at a single point. Thus, all communication and data integration between different Information Systems are processed by this system. At last, the Externals Information Systems represents all Information Systems with which the Integrator/Server System establishes a communication for reading and integrating information. After the implementation of this project, the main results were: increased productivity; automated data integration between various Information Systems; reduction of costs of the links between warehouses; and, finally, the creation of a platform that allows standardization of the software development.
