The subsidiaries work directly with the central database via the Group's Intranet or, where applicable, via the Internet. This system ensures that subsidiaries have instant access to information.
The technical architecture of a Web application means that no installation is necessary in the subsidiary. The application is installed on the central server. It can be accessed by the subsidiaries as soon as they connect to the server.
CashNetting adapts to the netting model chosen by the group:
With CashNetting, several validation levels can be defined for the subsidiaries and central treasury department. As such, disputes between subsidiaries can be settled on-line.
The import/export module of CashNetting simplifies interfacing with other software in the subsidiaries and at central level. As such, invoice files can be easily imported regardless of the format generated by the system upstream.
In addition, all the information contained in the CashNetting base can be exported in any format.
CashNetting respects the ergonomic and browsing standards in force for Web applications. Assistance can also be personalized by the Group. In this way, subsidiaries can obtain a reminder of procedures to be respected at the time of data input.
The Web application architecture reduces administrative work thanks to centralization of deployment and updating tasks. This leads to a substantial reduction of administrative costs, particularly in comparison with those linked to traditional application management.
CashNetting was developed in Java. This gives it the most reliable technical architecture for the Internet. Data are stored in a relational database that is open to all analysis and operating systems (Business Objects™, Seagate Crystal Reports™, Jasper Reports™, Cognos™, etc.).
