B:TECH modernizes business agendas and improves HR and other internal processes

B:TECH is part of the B:GROUP and operates as a major system integrator in the field of industrial automation. It specializes in the design and implementation of complex automation solutions for manufacturing and process operations across various industries. Typical deliveries include control systems, industrial switchboards, software applications, and robot integration. Thanks to its strong engineering background and individual approach, B:TECH maintains a stable position in the market.

B:TECH had long used on-premise IT infrastructure for its business agendas, together with a robust but gradually outdated QI information system. Due to the dynamic development at B:TECH, this system gradually ceased to meet the requirements of a modern working environment and the necessary process flexibility. The customer's main goal was therefore modernization – an effective transition to the Microsoft 365 cloud environment, simplification of HR processes, unification of user identities, and optimization of management and access to company data.

Aricoma played a key role in the entire process. The customer was looking for a reliable partner who would bring not only technical competence, but also the ability to transform a general assignment into a functional, secure, and long-term sustainable solution.

Aricoma designed and implemented a multi-phase transformation that used the Microsoft 365 platform as the main pillar of digital modernization. The project began with the migration of data from an on-premises environment to the cloud, including the precise division of documents and metadata in the Microsoft SharePoint environment. At the same time, part of the functionality of the QI information system was replaced with proprietary applications developed on the Power Apps platform.
Specifically, three applications were created for B:TECH:

• An employee card that draws information from Active Directory and allows for the management of job positions, completed training, documents, and certifications in a clear digital environment.
• A training module that handles the entire process from course registration to evaluation and archiving of certificates. The system automatically notifies users of expired training courses and records their status.
• Personnel requests, i.e., an internal helpdesk-type system (a so-called ticketing system) that simplifies the submission of requests to HR, breaks them down into subtasks, and tracks their progress.

Development was agile. B:TECH actively collaborated on the specification of individual functionalities, participated in regular status meetings, and provided ongoing feedback on prototypes. This approach made it possible to respond flexibly to changing user needs and fine-tune details until the final form was achieved.

Aricoma also played an important role in cybersecurity within the project. It ensured the deployment of Zero Trust access policies, endpoint management via Microsoft Intune, and advanced endpoint protection using Microsoft Defender for Business. This contributed to increased security across the entire environment without compromising user comfort.
