Bouvet provides services described briefly in the following section. However, most deliveries are combinations of the service areas. The customers’ needs are the deciding factors.
Portals
Today’s portals serve the function of being an employee’s most important working tool and a company’s channel of communication with the public, partners, suppliers and customers. The portal gathers information from multiple underlying systems and facilitates easy access for the user.
Custom application development
Standard systems are often considered too general, and needs tailoring to fit the organisation perfectly. Custom application development comprises different phases, from planning, mapping of requirements, analysis and design, implementation, testing and deployment. The development process benefits from being agile in order to meet changing demands throughout the process.
In order to meet the customer’s requirements, Bouvet focuses on a few established technical and methodical frameworks. Bouvet focuses on the following technical platforms; Java, Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and Open source products.
SAP
SAP is one of the world’s major software suppliers. Bouvet is one of the leading companies within SAP competence in Norway. We conduct total deliveries of SAP, adjustments, upgrades and enhanced utilisation of already installed SAP-modules in addition to integration between SAP and other systems.
Bouvet helps the customer see new business opportunities and uses its capabilities within this technology to develop solutions that realise the potential.
Bouvet has, as the only SAP Education Partner for SAP in Norway, the responsibility for all open SAP training in the country.
Business Intelligence
The availability of updated information about business operations and factors that can be of influence is critical in a market characterised by rapid change. The purpose of Business Intelligence (BI) is to collect, analyse and give access to information to obtain an optimal decision basis in order to facilitate qualified decisions and rapid adjustments.
BI-systems give more knowledge about the business and factors that affect results such as revenues, production and changes in demand or market shares.
System integration
Companies in general own, operate and maintain several different IT-systems. The different systems are often tailor-made and customised for a limited area. The collection of data from different systems can often provide a useful tool for companies and the integration of systems eliminates the process of physically gathering the information.
A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ensures that the systems support the business’ needs and processes optimally. Bouvet has participated in several of the largest Nordic SOA-projects.
The gains from system integration include easier maintenance, increased availability of information and more efficient business processes.
Application management
Companies often find it too costly to build and maintain the competence required for further development and maintenance of applications. Bouvet has developed a concept for application management (BAM - Bouvet Application Management). All elements related to an application assignment, such as phone support, corrective maintenance, configuration management, new releases and change management are included in the BAM concept. BAM also involves activities for development and improvement of the application.
Bouvet signs management contracts for most major applications we develop.
Education & training
Bouvet offers education and training within IT, project management and presentation technique. The courses are held by experts within the subject area. Accordingly, the courses are based on solid experience and practical examples.
In addition to a wide selection of open courses, we offer our customers in-house, tailor-made courses, either at the customers’ offices or at our own facilities.
As Bouvet is the only SAP Education Partner in Norway, we offer a wide range of SAP standard classes and certifications. These courses contain course material developed by centrally by SAP.
