History

Industrial Application Software GmbH was founded 1989 to provide SAP consulting and software engineering. In 1993 IAS was launched, our in-house developed standard application software for business processing.

Beyond our sales activities our full-service portfolio for IAS includes consulting, project management, software development and training for middle-market companies.

Mission

Industrial Application Software GmbH delivers individual customer solutions using highly efficient tools. All solutions are based on open standards and are supported by our widely functional 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%.
