SharePoint Topics: Administraction, Collaboration,
Content Management and Search

Challenge: For more than six decades Bender has
developed and produced top quality products for the measurement and
monitoring of electrical systems that enjoy an excellent reputation
and are used worldwide. Many of Benders internal processes
were often inefficient, furthermore, information important to a
specific and sometimes greater audience could not easily be shared
and made available. Bender wanted to move the company forward, gain
efficiencies and help employees pass on knowledge within the
company.

Benefits and Outcomes: IPI GmbH, a Nintex partner,
introduced into Bender a SharePoint 2010 based collaboration
environment with Nintex Workflow 2010 to both capture employee
knowledge and automate processes traditionally done via paper
forms. Benefits recorded by Bender are increased efficiency,
eliminate paper processes, shared knowledge and collaboration and
increased quality management. In closing Oliver Böhmer, CIO of
Bender remarked “we are well on the way to making sure knowledge is
captured, processes are automated with an eye on long term
benefits, and our employees are actively part of defining these
processes for better collaboration and efficiency.
