Who & what

steute is a modern technology company with around 400 employees that manufactures high-quality switchgears and sensors for industrial automation, as well as individual and intuitive operating systems for medical technology.

A web hosting system adapted to the customer's needs was to be developed and implemented on a Docker basis in an SAP server environment. This system, in turn, was to be integrated and synchronised in the same way in China, so that maintenance could be carried out exclusively via the headquarter system from Germany. 

All individual systems were to run autonomously in order to ensure a high level of maintenance and security. In addition, an SAP connection for the shop functionalities was desired, which is directly connected to the system within the computer centre. Furthermore, a solution was to be developed that would fully enable the maintenance and output of all marketing product information on the TYPO3 website.
