OREANDA-NEWS. December 14, 2012. An automated system of planning and monitoring of production on the basis of complex solutions IBM Cognos was integrated in FSUE “Roslesinforg”. The system was deployed by GMCS just in 4 months and today covers the corporate center in Moscow, 13 controlling and 22 controlled branches of "Roslesinforg." The company received a tool that allows to plan operations, control the contract execution by the corporate center, keep track of contracts subsidiaries and analyze the key indicators of the production.

The solution proposed by IBM provides rapid access to information on the status of the contracts, financial statements and other important data in the context of branches, forestry and etc. "- said Alexander Tretyakov, CEO of “Roslesinforg”.

As it was noted by Eugene Erofeev, director of BPM-systems department of GMCS: "Project for "Roslesinforg " demonstrates the growing interest and demand from large companies in a completely different class of solutions. Just ERP-system is not enough to manage the core business and monitor key performance indicators, particularly in the presence of multi-branch network. The implemented solution for planning and monitoring of production is the result of close work with teams of specialists of "Roslesinforg" and GMCS ".

The integrated system consists of two modules: IBM Cognos TM1 for planning of operations and IBM Cognos BI for multidimensional data analysis and analytical reports. Planning of contracts at the Corporate Center is sold with different type of work, performers and objects of the forest fund. In this case, there are different ways of calculating the cost of the work, depending on the activities (land management, state forest inventory).

In order to monitor the work of the pre-contractual branches in the system mechanisms was developed for corporate center to coordinate the participation of branches in competitions at various trading platforms, to recommend a particular auction to participate and to keep statistics and analyze the results. Integration with 1C produces actual data on the contracts.

For analysis of the key indicators of the company specialists GMCS set special reports and analytical panel. Accordingly, "Roslesinforg" can promptly in a simple and understandable form to receive information on the status of the contracts, financial statements and other relevant information in the context of branches, forest areas, types of work, etc.

Today, about 40 specialists of "Roslesinforg" work with the system. As Raisa Gourevitch noted, Deputy General Director for IT, "Roslesinforg": "The solution, that we have obtained, is fully consistent with your needs, and we are pleased with the results. We are able to optimize the number of business processes related to the planning and monitoring of industrial activity, reduce the possibility of errors in the calculation and avoid multiple entry of the same data by creating a single repository of information, mechanisms of consolidation and allocation of access rights of users. I would like to mark the professional work of GMCS that provided a high quality of work and the launch of the system in a short time. In the near future we together with GMCS plan to develop an embedded system.

"Changes in legislation tighten the requirements to conduct contracts, where transparency of the interaction comes to the fore.

In addition to contract management and performance monitoring, analysis, it provides an analyst for the procurement, tenders, etc. "- Bella Temirkanov, Project Manager, the company GMCS.
