ERP class Integrated Management System

Integrated Management System "eInstytut" is a multi-module ERP class system designed to manage research institute, developed for Foundry Research Institute in Cracow.

ERP class Integrated Management System was designed as a customized application, tailored to the specific needs of research institutes, with architecture open for further modification and expansion.

Work on the project "Integrated ERP software supporting the management of Foundry Research Institute" began in August 2009. From the start of the project a team of professionals designated by Foundry Research Institute has been cooperating with our company to work the concepts of operations for all modules. This team has also been responsible for implementation of necessary organizational changes at the Institute. The main goal was to create modern software, which would replace all obsolete applications and manage all business processes at the Institute. The system also had to be integrated with the software for human resources and accounting “Sage Symfonia”.

At the end of the first stage of the implementation of the system in August 2010, it consisted of the following basic modules:

• workflow,
• project management,
• reports module,
• work time registration,
• equipment and resource management,
• CRM,
• administrative modules,

The next stage of upgrade was completed in January of 2012 offering new features:

• support for Accredited Research Laboratories,
• support for Certification and Standardization Office,
• Document Management as a part of the Quality Management System.
