Kaba's competence center for Kaba Workforce Management Asia Pacific is located in Singapore. Here, the communication interface between Kaba B-COMM and Kaba partner's time management (e.g. SAP ERP) is also hosted. Flintec's time collection by phone and mobile is seamlessly compatible with Kaba's stationary collection terminals. The connection between B-COMM (Kaba Singapore) and the telephony (Flintec Mannheim) is established using a VPN.
The entire process-from capturing time data by phone, mobile, and stationary Kaba terminals to analyzing and interpreting the collected time stamps using a time management subsystem-can be tracked and validated from virtually everywhere in the world as long as rights of access have been granted: this is made possible using the Flintec telephone server (s.a. Flintec TimeTracking), the Kaba B-COMM server, and the SAP time management host. Richard Koch, consultant at Kaba Singapore, argues: "This hightech telephone system demonstrates that globalization indeed has become a reality."
Flintec's cloud based solution-a quick and inexpensive set up-is also well suited for migration from an on-demand service solution to an on-premise system. When an on-premise system uses SIP for phone access (IP-network or PBX) and is based on a virtual machine, the installation will be done remotely. Due to its physical location, the installation will be customs-free.
Flintec is a leading developer and provider of telephony turn-key solutions based on Flintec's IVR and CTI platform for end users (BMW, Daimler, ..) or OEMs (Kaba and Kaba partners for time registration).
