KSV Connect

Starting point

KSV1870 is both a traditional association and a modern service provider. KSV is the leader in the B2B segment on the Austrian market. 21,000 members and 5.4 million solvency reports provided in 2008 are a case in point.

Quick handling and process integration are of key importance.

However, things look quite different in practice:

  • Information has to be retrieved over the Internet or telephone
  • The complete process is managed manually (entry of inquiry data, …)
  • Multiple inquiries because information is not centrally available
  • Retrieved information is not assigned to the SAP customer record
  • In most of the cases, information is only available on paper
  • etc.
