The systems develop their full strength in the seamless interaction between product idea, toolmaking and series production.
The user licenses of the IKOffice software can be purchased as named or concurrent (also floating) licenses. While with Named licenses the users are defined by name, the number of Concurrent licenses only limits the number of any users. For further explanations, please refer to the License Explanations information sheet.
The maintenance or service contract ensures the readiness, up-to-dateness and security of your system and is a mandatory component throughout the use of your software. It includes all updates as well as telephone help and support for your employees. We have created one of the most favorable and at the same time most extensive service contracts in this industry, with a yearly rate of approx. 7-12% of the total amount.
Depending on the type of use, IKOffice can connect via interfaces to surrounding ERP systems such as SAP, Navision, Dynamics, WinCarat, AS400 and many more. We also successfully realize the transfer to financial accounting systems such as DATEV, FibuNet, Simba, etc.. Furthermore, connections exist, for example, to time recording systems such as ZEUS, AIDA, ATOSS or bedatime and control stations such as ProSeS or the ARBURG master computer system (ALS), as well as to various QA systems.
However, the exact method of transferring and accepting data is always an individual definition, which is agreed in preceding workshops. As an example, the integration is shown graphically in our flow chart.
IKOffice recommends the use of a virtual server, as we can provide pre-configured virtual machines for it. Of course, the IKOffice server can also be installed on a physical machine. If this should be the case, this will be coordinated with you individually.
The minimum requirements for the virtual server are as follows:
* Memory: min. 8GB RAM
* Processor: min. 1 CPU core
* Hard disk space: min. 20GB HDD
Recommended requirement:
* RAM: 12-16GB
* Processor: 2-4 CPU cores (from 10 concurrent users rather 4 cores)
* Processor frequency: >= 3Ghz CPU Freq. (IKOffice benefits from single thread performance)
* Hard disk space: >=50GB HDD (more if IKOffice document management is used)
The software created by IKOffice provides the complete solution for all conceivable business transactions. Nevertheless, the specifics of your company can be realized in individual adaptations. Our software is adapted together with you to the conditions on site, without you losing the connection to the base and thus the ability to update.
Currently, about 20 programmers are working on the IKOffice software at three partner locations. IKOffice GmbH currently has 15 employees at its headquarters in Oldenburg.
