We hope to have Crossroads RMC on our backup team for years to come. Crossroads RMC continues to deliver extremely knowledgeable consultants and project management. We simply wouldn't have made it without them. It continues to be a pleasure working with Crossroads RMC. We had a few security obstacles that we had to work around and a short time frame in which to complete the project, but Crossroad was quick to resolved the issues to get the new system online.
They were integral part of our success. Crossroads RMC not only had a solution, but also a deployment process that was simple, patient and knowledgeable. Crossroads RMC completed the project on time and on budget.
We are happy to have chosen them for this project. Hugh Carty and Luis Diaz are both very competent and efficient technically but also, importantly, respectful and courteous to all employees with whom they worked.
They are what a consultant should be. Should the need arise again we will certainly hope to obtain their services.
Another consultant that I trusted and respected suggested that I contact Frank. I used resources recommended and assigned by Frank who were both 3rd party and direct employees in the areas of EDI, OLM, Finance, and general programming during our conversion and go-live. I again reached out to Frank for a resource and had the opportunity to work with a consultant who knew more about ECC than anybody else I could find from any company.
Every task, request and email has been answered with accuracy and professionalism. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Crossroads RMC and consider them a valuable partner to our support team. Their extensive knowledge of the financial system was a saving grace for us since we had a system that was setup over 15 years ago by people no longer in the company. The patience and professionalism of Hugh Carty made the transition much less complicated and frustrating. There is no doubt in my mind that it would have taken a much longer period and a substantially more painful path if it was not for Crossroads RMC bending over backwards to accommodate our processes and time constraints.
This large swath of knowledge was very helpful in management discussions. Crossroads RMC is responsive to all of our consulting and technical requirements ranging from daily operational issues to large-scale systems integration projects. Recently, Crossroads RMC supported the design and implementation of a highly successful eBusiness project to integrate our customers, banking institutions, and third- party warehouses to our enterprise-systems.
Mohawk will continue to partner with Crossroads RMC to leverage information technologies, to maintain a competitive edge and to remain the largest manufacturer of premium printing, writing and imaging papers in the country.

Baan IV Archiving is that critical step towards continuous data management. These services put you our customer on a path towards a streamlined production database and increased performance. Each service is designed with the intention of providing several levels of assistance to you! These services include: Standard Workshops To learn about general Archiving practices and how they are implemented in Baan IV, you can register for standard workshops. These workshops are instructor-led and are held either remotely or at an SSA Global Education center.
Customized Workshops A customized workshop can be arranged to help you learn about Archiving as well as develop an archiving strategy and plan that is specific to your organization. Typically, these workshops are held at your company location in order to work closely with your key users and IT personnel. The workshop can also be held remotely on request. If required, SSA Global resources can actually execute your archiving plan for you. These services are based on standard functionality of the software.
Customized software solutions can be developed as required for your specific business requirements. Contents Contents Time is spent on developing procedures for archiving manuals, drawings, specs and other hard-copied documents. But do we spend time on procedures to store historical electronic data? The answer to this question is in many cases no, insufficiently, or too late. This document is written to create awareness on archiving electronic data, not as a technical solution only, but as an integral part of your business processes.
This document can be used as a guide through the complete Archiving process, from defining an appropriate strategy till the final execution. This document is structured in this way. Lesson 1 describes the Archiving strategy, in our opinion the first and most important step in the Archiving process. Lesson 2 describes the technical set up of an archiving environment.
Lessons 3 through 8 cover archiving for logistics data and the sessions used to accomplish this. Lesson 9 covers archiving for finance data and the sessions used to accomplish this. Archiving is the process of removing specific data from the operational company. For each session, you will learn about the actual data that can be archived. The Baan sessions let you decide whether to archive the data into an archive company or just delete the data from the operational company. Generally, when any of the Baan archiving sessions are executed, the system runs through two sequential procedures.
First, the master data is copied to the archive company to keep the references to the archived data. Second, the actual data is copied to the archive company and deleted from the operational company. Besides the general data, you also have the possibility to archive any attached texts. There is usually a check box that you can select in order to archive texts.
After the archiving sessions have been executed, the archived data will not be available for analysis and reporting in the operational company. The data is moved to the archive company. Archiving is usually not reversible. For example, the archived data cannot be brought back into the operational company. These transactions may include, inventory, financial, sales, and purchase transactions. This transaction data is used in display and print sessions to present detailed historical information.
Over a period of time, the volume of data may increase to a level that will adversely impact the performance of the system. Archiving these transactions may result in better system performance. Besides keeping archived data on the Baan system, it can also be managed by storing the data on tape or other storage media and deleting the archived data from the archive company.
These procedures are not discussed in this document. To determine the archiving procedure for a company, the extent of the data that is to be retained within the database should be clearly defined. This decision should include the total volume of operational data that must be retained in the operational company, usually quantified in terms of weeks, months, or years.
For instance, you should keep in mind the duration for which information is required in the Inventory module for calculation of stock usage trends. Baan stores archived data in a separate archive company. This function allows you to retain records of company transactions on the database for quick access and view without cluttering up the dynamic production data with relatively old and infrequently used information.
Therefore, the period of data for the archive company also must be clearly defined based on each unique company policy. You can have on-line access to data in combinations of years distributed between the operational and archive company.
For instance, a company may retain two years of data in the operational company and one year of data in the archive company.
Thus, such a system would hold three years of data at any time. While deciding on your company policy, the number of transactions that are created on a daily basis and the growth of the database must be taken into account.
If system use increases following the implementation process, the growth rate of the database may be higher than what was originally planned. If this is case, you may have to increase the storage capacity to store the quantity of data required on the database. This course describes only the general legal requirements. For the legal requirements of a specific country, it is recommended that you contact the local Baan office or regulatory authorities. The number of years to store the information depends on the country and varies from five to thirty years.
Ask about these terms in your country and be aware of the difference between the legal requirements to be able to provide evidence in court; for example, a period of ten years in the Netherlands and the fiscal requirements to provide the fiscal authorities with detailed information about the Value Added Tax VAT transactions and fiscal profit and loss; for example, a period of five years in the Netherlands.
Some archiving sessions take a considerable amount of time to run, because several references must be first checked before archiving can take place. These sessions follow a logical sequence. Therefore, run time for the sessions cannot be optimized through conventional means of parallel batch processes.
Instead, it is more efficient to archive a small amount of data in multiple instances, instead of archiving an entire set of data in one big process. Generally speaking, there is no fixed order to archive the operational company. An archiving order becomes evident mainly through the prerequisites of a single archiving session. However, there are archiving sessions that can be run regardless of any prerequisites.
These sessions can archive data multiple times per year. Deciding on an archiving strategy should involve all relevant departments within your company. Application and Technical area are impact in the archiving process. Application Business Areas You must decide what data is required to be archived. Most importantly, you should always consider what effect the archiving of specific data will have on your business process. However, it might not always be useful to do so.
Technical Areas Based upon the amount of data, you must respond to the technical requirements regarding the system, database, and capacity defined.
At least one separate archiving company must be created for each live company. Preferred option. A disadvantage of this method can be the loss of relationships between logistic and financial transactions.
Number of archiving companies and naming convention depends on the business demands. As a result, you should decide which option is best for your given situation. However, make sure that decisions are documented in the archiving strategy document for your company!! The Package Combination of the new company must be the same as the Package Combination of the operational company. This is necessary, since there will be Logical Table linking, which requires the Companies to be in the same Package Combination.
Also, other settings of the archive company should be similar to the corresponding live company. This file contains the date and currency formats. As a result, when creating an archive company, the existing set up is applicable for that archive company as well.
Therefore, for your setup, you just need to ensure that all tables for the archive company are also linked to a database. Baan must know in which format the data must be written. As a result, it is necessary to assign tables to databases, because a database defines the format. Parameter tables are supposed to be linked to a database using with Audit. The audit files reside in the directory as specified in the Maintain Audit File Directories ttaadm session.
This is because during archiving, Baan switches from one database to the other and passes on the original login and password information. Changing parameters can have a tremendous effect on procedures within a company. When audit is switched on for those tables, all database actions done on those parameter tables are stored in audit files.
When something goes wrong in a daily procedure, you can check the audit file to see whether a parameter has been changed, and if so, by whom.
