application software. At the same time our goal is to provide
a stable and secure platform for our customers' business processes,
ready for all upcoming challenges.
Strategy
Nowadays there are massive changes in the area of IT and software.
Companies are driving towards the integration of business
and communication processes throughout all departments, based
on a central database. At the same time information needs
to be readily available both remotely by field staff and by
subsidiaries at home and abroad.
IAS has the technological advantage through a conceptual framework,
all to provide unlimited growth potential for our customers.
IAS offers with CANIAS, TROIA and with the state-of-the-art
integration - and communication concept TIP (Total Integrated
Planning) the tools for our mid-market customers to gain and
to preserve competitive advantage. By optimizing business
processes, our customers decrease costs and increase efficiency
and transparency.
Success
We ensure customers' success by using our customized implementation
methodology of replacement, installation and completion of
standard application software. Ongoing improvement and innovation
of IAS opens all doors for future adjustments of business
processes and company structures to the corresponding market
requirements.
Constant Growth -The Foundation For A Successful Future
Industrial Application Software GmbH always held to its principles
of a financially sound business. The most valuable indicators
for success are satisfied and successfully operating customers.
IAS' constant growth through investments have always been
financed by cash flow. Our goals are the ongoing further development
of our software solution and the preservation of our technological
advantage. With our company policy targeted towards a global
Europe, IAS GmbH reached European level as a mid-market solution
provider, both in the areas of organization and the range
of services. Customers from nine different countries provide
us a foundation for international operations according to
our company policy.
Constant Innovation Of Development
As one of the first standard solutions worldwide IAS was running
on the Windows platform and was independent of any database
type or operating system. The first launch of IAS already
included these attributes and targeted in the beginning manufacturing
industries. Not only is the application highly integrated
and flexible, it also provides an open system architecture.
While it supports even the most complex enterprise structures,
all important processes of all departments (sales, procurement,
material management, production and controlling) are included.
Our efforts in software development resulted not only in the
further development of the application itself but also evolved
into an Integrated Development Environment named TROIA. With
this Rapid-Development-Tool IAS offers customers the desired
flexibility and individuality on the highest level. TROIA
is of course included in the software package and can be used
by any of our licensed customers at full functionality.

Market Position
Challenging the competition
Industrial Application Software GmbH introduced with CANIAS
ERP one of the most technologically advanced ERP-solutions.
Today customers from nine different countries speaking six
different languages use the broad functionality of CANIAS.
Since the application is based on the JAVA-platform, both
the width and the depth of the application, together with
the financial accounting features, make CANIAS ERP a truly
unique ERP-solution on the market.
Although our current market position invokes direct competition
with the largest global players, we gain more and more market
share, mainly because of our extremely short development cycles.
Not considered as competitors are niche market players and
providers of heterogeneous solutions.
Technology for the pole position
We created with TROIA and the underlying object oriented technology
an excellent tool for speeding up the development cycles and
for creating individual customer solutions -faster than most
of our competitors. Thanks to the total integration of TROIA
into CANIAS ERP we reached in this market an unmatched flexibility
and individuality of our application, without sacrificing
the ability to update the underlying core application. Industrial
Application Software GmbH will not reached the limitations
of the market within the next few years, so our company is
expected to grow with an annual rate of approx. 30%.
