 In addition to the close integration with the Microsoft collaborative environment, we will connect the KPI library of Sustainability Master with an agreed set of surrounding systems such as your ERP, HR, financial, production or data warehouse system. For that we will use above mentioned API’s of Master Collections and the neighboring systems. Maistering will align with your IT-team on this wiring. For each KPI we will align on frequency and temporality of the streaming.
