IT system requirements
The IT-friendly system architecture - open, flexible and scalable
Our IT specialists have experience in connecting the required IT components even in complex systems such as virtualization, SAN, firewall, reverse proxy, active directory, portals and cross-location access.
All crossbase modules are based on the fully integrated crossbase database with interface to the ERP system, covering all data structures for the applications PIM, MAM and CMS with the derivations to online, print and data provision for shops, e-commerce, portals, trading partners etc. This means that all sales channels and markets can be controlled from a single data source - and therefore without an interface to third-party software. Thus an enormous simplification of work processes can be achieved.
The crossbase architecture
- Interfaces, also bidirectional, to ERP system, TMS (Translation Memory System) and other external systems
- Integration and connection to Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) and MS Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Provision of data for e-commerce and shop systems, CMS (Content Management System) and mobile applications
- Provision of data for designers and architects (CAD, BIM)

Oracle database system
The crossbase software solution is based on an Oracle database and includes an Embedded Software Licence (ESL) so that IT managers do not have to worry about organizational and technical details. This results in two essential advantages for your company:
Optimal system integration
The installation can be carried out according to the wishes of your IT without IT having to worry about licensing Oracle. The database can be operated either directly on a physical machine or virtualized, the number of CPUs used is unlimited. The installation can take place on any number of machines, e.g. productive server, test server, web server etc., and the use is possible by any number of users, e.g. internal users, external web users etc..
Easy administration
The IT department can easily control administrative activities via crossbase interfaces without any knowledge of Oracle. The IT department does not have to take care of maintenance itself, as the database system can be maintained by crossbase. This includes regular updates (patch set updates) and system checks (disk space usage, tablespace usage, Oracle and system log file checks, network connection tests, general checks, such as system processes and memory usage, and data backup checks).
Data hub and process monitor
Controlling data transfers and batch programs with the help of the configurable data hub is the ideal general-purpose tool for IT administrators.Learn more here ...
