CAMAGÜEY.- The Territorial Division of the Desoft Computer Applications Company works on two projects associated with e-commerce, according to the engineer Luis Riverón Valls, director of that collective who recently deserved the flag of Vanguardia Nacional of the trade union.
The first project, he said, responds to a Cuban entrepreneur's need to establish a resource planning system. Its novelty is that it has integrated and under the effects of automation all of an entity's processes.
"We currently have many software that computerizes accounting, human resources, or certain productive activities, but they act in isolation. In the new product, conceived in free software, we adopt a system widely used in the world that is the Odoo and meets Cuban standards."
This modality should lower the costs and potentialities of companies, and according to the interviewee, should put it in the cloud of Desoft, so that it contributes to the advancement of the computerization of all entities.
Prior to implementation, which should be ready at an early date, Desoft had quality and accounting endorsements, pending the safety program, in advance of the marketing of the product in the current month. The customer's opinion where it has been tested is favorable. One of them, at the Food Wholesale Company (EMPA for its initials in Spanish), governed by different models and services to prove that it works in each area.
The second project, conceived upon request to the entity, is the establishment of a virtual store - in a test phase - with the requirements required for electronic commerce.
The general director of the national computer applications company Desoft, Luis Guillermo Fernández Pérez, informed the newspaper Granma a few days ago that this type of service was requested by the Caribbean Store address.
This format, set up in Camagüey, makes possible to purchase on the cart and security mechanisms to prevent intrusion of so-called bots (programs that automatically perform repetitive tasks through the Internet) that overload the platform.
The interviewee stressed that the limitation is sometimes not in the software, but in the companies that do not plan to computerize their processes, unless they are told to do so, a scenario that is not only happening in Camagüey but is a widespread situation, a barrier to be overcome without much delay.
