  1. STAR NETWORK Your Link to the Future A Java Based Framework M. Klingler ITM/SP&D michael.m.klingler@daimlerchrysler.com

  2. What is StarNetwork • The Business Object Platform • Deployment Model • 4-Tier Architecture • Framework Components & Principles • Framework Support • Future Planing • Experience & Questions ? • Contents

  3. The development of an internet based IT platform for all strategic applications of DaimlerChrysler on the retail level in addition to the Dealer Management System. • A platform to implement the digital sales channel for commercial users in Sales and After Sales • The integration of all strategic Service applications such as parts and service literature • What is StarNetwork ?

  4. Current Retail Systems are implemented as Stand-Alone Applications, C/S Systems with Fat Clients or Host Applications. Central Data sources Problems : • Various Platforms (Unix / NT / Host) • Expensive Data Update • Different User Interfaces • Non Standard Software Architectures • Expensive on-site Support • Insufficient Support for the Service and Sales Process Chains • Today’s Solutions 3270

  5. Central Systems concentrate in general on the Support of Vertical Processes (from Headquarters via Sales Channels up to the Retail Level and vice versa). For Retail, the Integration of Horizontal Processes (Customer Order, Service, ...) at the Sales Level is of crucial Importance as well.
