In today’s industry efficiency is of utmost importance. Efficiency equates to competitiveness, improved customer satisfaction and an increase in the profit line of a company. What makes a company competitive are its unique internal business processes as compared to that of its competitors.

 The advances in the computer industry have helped build a host of packages that provide features that help improve and enhance these internal business processes. These packages have been available in different forms for small, medium and large companies. Often, products available off the shelf force organizations to mold their processes to the features available in the products, rather than have a package that molds itself around the organization. Products such as SAP and BAAN have captured the large markets by providing a best-practices, highly customizable platform around which we can mould our business practices and processes, unfortunately these packages cost millions of dollars.

 The small and medium sized organizations have been neglected in this segment. Often smaller organizations fulfill their automation needs by procuring individual packages that provide islands of automation. Thus a point of sales system may not always integrate into the inventory system, or the accounting system. Customer, Vendor and Payroll management are often neglected in packages, and have to be managed externally. Moreover small businesses have unique practices that are essential for their survival in the extremely competitive business scenario.

 Through IOS, Axxonet Solutions has tried to address these issues and provide a consolidated system that can manage almost all the needs of an organization, while being flexible enough to mold and enhance according to the customers needs.

 The IOS system provides small and medium organizations the computing power and management information that was until recently available only to large corporations. Organizations’ core strengths are its products and services. A package like IOS helps bind and enhance the functioning of different parts in a company with the final objective of forwarding the products and services.

Security

On accessing the IOS system the user is prompted to log into the system using his/her userid and password. The main function of authorization module is to give appropriate security to various modules of the package. The user will only be allowed to work on the modules he has been given privileges for. It also keeps track of the users logged into the system.

To enable structured handling of authorization, a group concept is adopted. Each user of the system is assigned a unique username and password. The users performing similar operations are clubbed into a group and group privileges as assigned to different modules of the application. Many groups can be created based on the different profiles of users or departments within the organization. Each of these groups can be assigned different levels of access for the modules and they would not be allowed to access modules they do not have permissions for.

The Authorization Module helps the administrator to create user accounts, group users, assign permissions to different groups, and set access levels for different modules to each group.
