Milliken SOPS

During a 14 month project in partnership with the Milliken IS team, JK-UK were involved in helping with the movement of processing of information from a stand-alone Microsoft Access, used at a newly acquired site, to the AS/400, used by their other sites across Europe.

The new SOPS system dealt with all the order processing, stock allocation and invoicing requirements that the old stand alone system had done. However there where concerns that managers would not have the same level of reportability that was given by the easily, user generated reports in MS Access.

To allow for this a seperate application was used, BRIO. This allowed for simple read-only access to the AS/400 file system, which would allow for simple user report setup and queries.

JK-UK were involved in all aspects of the projects design, development, installation and support. This has allowed for a much greater understanding of project management and development within large organisations.
