EASY in use at the Theo Mueller business group

The right ideas at the right time, a keen sense for market development, and a constant flair for innovation have made the Theo Mueller business group an ultra-modern and extremely successful company throughout Europe. It was therefore a logical step for them to rely on the market-leading DMS solution EASY ENTERPRISE for the acquisition, archiving, and retrieval of incoming invoices.

Seven years ago, the Theo Mueller business group implemented EASY ENTERPRISE for the acquisition, archiving, and retrieval of incoming invoices. This was followed by implementation of EASY CAPTURE and EASY DOCUMENTS. Now Theo Mueller archives its e-mails using EASY xBASE.

More growth - more records

Because of the continuous growth of the company and the associated increase in the amount of documents, the Theo Mueller business group decided on a project to digitally process and archive incoming invoices in December 2004; after all, invoice processing is a time-consuming and thus cost-intensive business process; if this is handled electronically, many options for process optimization and cost reduction become available.

Brief installation and satisfied users

After a brief planning phase, the experts from PART, integration and implementation partner of EASY SOFTWARE, were able to install EASY xBASE on-site. Particularly from the point of view of the Mueller business group, PART delivered the crucial added value for the EASY xBASE project. Resulting from a cooperation of more than eight years that far exceeds archive applications, each new project allows saving more time. Thus, the tasks performed in a complex corporate structure took less than four days to complete. Each additional location installation was complete within a day, much to the satisfaction of all those involved. This helped reduce the load on the Microsoft Exchange database by 40 percent.

Helmuth Binder, Manager of IT infrastructure at Theo Mueller GmbH & Co. KG, commented on the e-mail archiving solution EASY xBASE:

"The deployment of EASY xBASE provides optimum e-mail storage and retrieval requirements in the business group. In my capacity as IT manager, I particularly appreciate the fact that the constant stress factor of 'My mailbox has reached its limit' is now a thing of the past, the data volume has been dramatically reduced, and backing up our mail servers has become significantly faster.The EASY xBASE system additionally enables us to meet the legally required GDPdU standards."

Mueller's future belongs to EASY solutions

Resulting from the positive experience with the successfully deployed EASY solutions, the Theo Mueller business group is already planning the installation of other EASY solutions: "We want to roll out our implementation. The next possible step is the file server archiving solution EASY xSTORE."
