Partnership between Business Systemhaus AG and Portal Systems AG in the area of Modern Workplace

Portal Systems and Business Systemhaus AG agree on partnership in the Modern Workplace segment

Portal Systems (Hamburg) and Business Systemhaus AG (Bayreuth) announced the start of a joint partnership in the business area “Modern Workplace” in April.

Business Systemhaus AG supports companies in various aspects of digitalisation and optimisation of business processes. It strategically relies on the modern cloud ERP software Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV). The scope of services includes consulting as well as the development of customer-specific requirements and applications in the area of ERP. In addition, fields such as Modern Workplace / Digital Office (Microsoft 365 or Office 365), Human Resources Management (Sage HR Suite), Business Intelligence (Jet Reports, Power BI) as well as IT infrastructure topics.

Portal System AG is the manufacturer of a range of standard solutions for SharePoint and Microsoft 365. The product portfolio for example includes solutions for document management, contract management or quality management. All these applications are based on Shareflex, a platform developed by Portal Systems that enables the solution to be easily configured and operated in the customer’s Microsoft 365 environment. More than 300 companies worldwide already rely on Shareflex and the business solutions offered by Portal Systems.

Better Together: Optimal solutions for our customers

Business Systemhaus AG has decided to become an integration and sales partner for these solutions in the future and to transfer its own solutions to the Shareflex platform. Due to the existing consulting know-how of Business Systemhaus AG, synergy effects result for both sides. Thus, the know-how of Business Systemhaus AG in areas such as quality management will flow into the further development of the Shareflex templates in the future. Furthermore, it is planned that Business Systemhaus AG will develop its very successful template of the 365Performance series for the topic of complaint management as a Shareflex solution in the future and offer it together with Portal Systems AG. For the customers of both companies, this partnership will result in many advantages in the medium term.

Further details on the many possibilities that this new partnership in the area of Modern Workplace has in store for you will follow shortly. Stay tuned!

Partners’ statements:

Michael Zettl, board member for consulting and development at Business Systemhaus AG:

“The competences of Portal Systems AG and Business Systemhaus AG complement each other ideally. We can use the technically well thought-out and constantly further developed framework of the Shareflex platform to introduce the various Modern Workplace solutions to customers in an even shorter time in the future. This allows us to concentrate more than before on our core competence, the analysis of business processes as well as the adaptation of the solution to the specific needs of the customer within the project. With our own development know-how, we can also map complex scenarios, such as the connection to ERP and CRM systems.”

Wolfgang Eichfeld, board member responsible for sales at Business Systemhaus AG:

“Not only in terms of the legal form of the public limited company, but also in terms of size and number of employees, we are similar as companies and match each other well. Our discussions in the run-up to the partnership have shown that we, as medium-sized IT service providers, have a common understanding of how to work out solutions with customers together and at eye level, which give them a strategic advantage in the long term.”

Frank von Orlikowski, CEO of Portal Systems AG:

“We are very pleased to have won Business Systemhaus AG as a new sales partner as well as a source of ideas for our solutions. As a result, we also benefit from Business Systemhaus AG’s experience in the ERP and Business Intelligence business areas. In this way, we will certainly succeed in opening up an even larger circle of customers with our solutions based on the Shareflex platform. Accordingly, the partnership will result in many advantages for the joint customer base in the future.”
