Philips India Limited, the Indian subsidiary of the Netherlands based Royal Philips Electronics N.V is a leader in Lighting, Consumer Electronics, Semiconductors, Domestic Appliances & Personal Care.
The Challenge
To convert the interface to Philips' dealers, a part of the enterprise solution JD Edwards WorldSoft (now called PeopleSoft EnterpriseWorld) from a "green screen" application to a graphical web based application while retaining the Digital Certificate based security of the earlier application and incorporating the corporate image & design used by Philips globally.
The Solution
Systsoft Systems & Software (Systsoft) completed the pilot solution by using IBM Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) to convert the front end screens to a web based interface. The digital SSL based certificates were incorporated into the solution on both the server and the client to prevent unauthorized access to the system. The interfaces were done using the same design and style used by Philips in its web pages globally
The Benefits

eliminated leading to significant communication cost savings.
- The system security has been maintained at the same level as in the dialup environment
- The interface is easy to use and so the learning time and cost is minimal
- The corporate image is reinforced leading to greater brand awareness
