The project start­ed with in­ten­sive work defin­ing cus­tomer re­quire­ments and da­ta in­ter­faces. Just af­ter rough­ly a year’s work con­fig­ur­ing CD­Prof­it to meet the re­quire­ments of Berlin Last Mile as well as pro­gram­ming the in­ter­faces for trans­fer­ring da­ta from the ex­ist­ing sys­tem to CD­Prof­it, the project has moved on to the sec­ond stage.

Berlin Last Mile is now work­ing with CD­Prof­it par­al­lel to the ex­ist­ing sys­tem.

This ap­proach is in or­der to give the users enough time in gain­ing han­dling ex­pe­ri­ence and mak­ing the change as com­fort­able as pos­si­ble, with­out com­pro­mis­ing the dai­ly pro­duc­tion. At the same time it was re­gard­ed im­por­tant that user feed­back is gath­ered from all use cas­es and that users get com­plete­ly fa­mil­iar with the sys­tem.

“Any­graaf has ful­filled the orig­i­nal re­quire­ments. How­ev­er, in a project of this scope new re­quire­ments in­vari­ably rise while im­ple­ment­ing. We can­not em­pha­size enough the re­spon­sive­ness and ac­cu­ra­cy of the project team, both in-house as well from Any­graaf side. The new­ly re­de­fined ar­eas are most­ly fo­cus­ing on salary cal­cu­la­tion, bud­get­ing and new de­liv­ery pos­si­bil­i­ties tai­lor­ing the sys­tem to the cus­tomer’s needs,” says Chief in­for­ma­tion of­fi­cer Mar­tin Schmidt at Berlin Last Mile.

Berlin Last Mile GmbH has been re­spon­si­ble for de­liv­er­ing each and every is­sue of Berlin­er Mor­gen­post, Tagesspiegel and Berlin­er Zeitung since 1994 – more than 300,000 dai­ly news­pa­pers to sub­scribers from the print­er di­rect­ly to let­ter box­es day af­ter day and night af­ter night.
