Support for Business Processes

Due to the fact that Internet is a two-way medium, organisations were, in the past, quick to recognise the opportunities it provides and are now using the Internet to support their business processes. They mainly apply it to processes which can be accelerated and simplified, or in which they can safely incorporate co-operation with their target groups. In some cases, they may even leave a part of the process to be managed and implemented by the users. On the other hand, organisations can optimise and simplify the application of business processes within the company through good use of Web applications.

A good human resource website can, for example, enable an organisation to allocate work conducted during the preparation of public tenders for job vacancies: gathering applications, assessing and selecting personnel and reviewing and confirming the suitability of applicants, all the way through to the final interview and selection of the candidate.
This saves a lot of time, and the information accumulated in the process of tenders and selection are uniform, comparable and quickly available to anyone involved in the process.

A content management system is another example as it enables an organisation to gain the involvement of an optimal number of employees and external workers in the preparation and publication of content and digital communication elements. It also enables content to be captured exactly where it is being formed. Corrections can be made and supervision implemented from one place, regardless of whether or not an internal or external editor is involved in the process. And, most importantly, the nature and availability of the Internet enables content work to be allocated in an optimal manner, in terms of both time and location – even outside normal business hours and off business premises.

As the content communicated by the company to the outside world is increasingly important for the company's success, a content management system also enables central review and storage of all materials that are available to the company. As such, it can serve as a distribution platform for these materials for other purposes, for example: sending and further processing for print, or as an Extranet intended for more restricted target user groups who must prove their identity by logging in and are thus given a more detailed insight into the knowledge and
information available.

E-commerce

Are you asking yourself how to boost your company sales? Where are the new business opportunities? Boost your sales with the help of the largest and most cost effective sales medium – Internet. Online sales have reached an exceptional global expansion and e-shops are turning into increasingly advanced tools providing customers with simple choices and payment methods, uncorrupted terms of exchange or warranty, as well as a comfortable delivery of goods to desired addresses.

Along with the infrastructure, Sonce.net provides consultations in e-commerce implementation into your business process and advise you which promotional tools help you boost the sales. Our knowledge and technology assure you that your costumers will find you and shop online easily.

E-shops created by Sonce.net are based on the Magento Shop product, which consists of two main sections: the user trading system and background management applications.

Magento Shop enables a random design of one or more providers' shops in different regions, as well as a high level of integration with commercial ERP systems.
By implementing this solution we provide our clients with the most advanced and constantly developing system used for online trading, while users are provided with online stores that are adapted to their purchase requirements and enable a superior user experience.

When setting up an online store, we will advise you in forming an online commercial model, advertising support, and technical integration of the online shop with supporting systems.

Intranet

Intranet is an excellent source of information for every company. It represents a means of internal communication and a tool that helps employees in their work processes and the exchange of internal information, and enables electronic collaboration.

Intranets are designed exclusively for the internal staff of a company, which can include employees and external co-workers, and are protected from external communications of the company by means of security protections.
This way, an intranet can provide all types of classified internal information, where we most frequently classify different types of employee access to various levels of classified content in terms of their position in a company.
In principle, access to the intranet always requires a user login, on the basis of which content and tools relevant to the user become available.

Online Recruitment

Recruitment and the provision of personnel on the internet is on the rise. Potential personnel search for information and examine possibilities available in individual companies. A company's website is the right place to communicate with potential personnel, as website content ensures a proper means of addressing and selecting required information, thus creating the desired image of the company.

However, the opportunity is even greater.
Since job seekers act in the same way as shoppers, it is wise to instantly turn interest on the internet into action.
Contact forms for the submission of enquiries and resumès are the least the internet can contribute to the recruitment process.

Transfer of a part of the recruitment process on the internet decreases costs and increases the effectiveness of the recruitment function.
We can direct internet communication by target groups, carry out the application and pre-selection procedures, submit suitable documents for the selection process as well as a conclusion of the recruitment process.

By means of a wide range of tools available and knowledge of the recruitment processes, as well as the behaviour of job seekers, Sonce.net transfers as much of the recruitment process onto the internet as is optimally needed by a certain company.

Personnel as a Community

The treatment of personnel as special communities, and in line with the definition that is exactly what company employees are, makes sense in large companies, especially those that have their employees in different locations or even countries.
In such cases, we also recommend the application of tools developed in recent years within various internet communities (MySpace, Facebook) in addition to using personnel management tools.
These tools enable interpersonal communication of individual functional and/or interest employee groups, regardless of their location.
They can be turned into collaboration tools ensuring greater effectiveness and self-organisation, or simply social tools that increase acquaintance among the employees and raise a sense of belonging in the group.

Sonce.net possesses tools used for building communities and has experience in establishing communities as well as organising recruitment processes.

Event Management

The organisation of events and meetings has become a constant element within every company or organisation. As most companies do not employ resources to be in charge of merely event organisation, Event Manager is the right choice since it saves a company time and money in the field of event management and communication.

Regardless of the scope and type of event (internal, external, etc.), Event Manager provides the user with the possibility of comprehensive organisation management in one place, as it enables:

Invitations, notifications and sending of reminders
Simple import of address lists and address classification
Collecting attendance confirmations
Setting up an event website
Posting information and material on the event website
Posting of a photo gallery on the event website
Keeping records
Post-event communication (thank-you notes, reminders, posting of material, etc.)

Other Internet applications

By presenting itself on the Internet, a company supports its business process of sales and promotion. This is true in general, provided that the Internet presentation is planned accurately. However, we can also support different or more specific business processes with the help of the internet.

The sales process can be supported by using a simple catalogue published on the website, including an enquiry form or even an e-store.
Perhaps your sales people can access their tools via the internet when on site.

Through internet applications, we can select and distribute stock exchange information, for example.

The recruitment service can support recruitment by means of a Web application designed for collecting applications, as well as testing and initial communication.
Forms and internal procedures such as the confirmation and review of holidays, or writing and approval of travel orders, can take place within Intranet or on the Internet.
Attendance applications and training organisation can be done via a Web application.
Uniting employees in a community is an opportunity provided by the development of internet communities, which are based on completely new grounds.

Preparation, promotion and implementation of events for different public group targets can be improved with the help of the internet.
Internal events, even meetings of a confidential nature, such as management or supervisory board sessions, can also be carried out by means of the Internet, completely and even more safely than by means of traditional tools.

In short, virtually any process requiring the collaboration of more than two people, or at least two people who are in different locations, can be supported by means of the internet.
We do not suggest that this solution is always reasonable. However, it is well worth considering.

Advertising Management

In the digital world, virtually anyone can act as a medium. This also means that anyone can offer advertising space and thus try to create a new source of income. Both internal and paid advertising requires a good concept and quality technical solution.

Sonce.net provides both.
We are happy to advise you in setting up advertising surfaces and tactics of facilitating investments into your medium. In addition, we also offer the leading advertising space management software by 24/7 Real Media.
