Today, Voglauer is able to automate processes with XcalibuR and reduce error-prone manual routine work to a minimum. In addition, XcalibuR facilitates the daily work routine at Voglauer through the simple exchange of versioned binary data. Large amounts of data, such as multimedia data, are automatically updated at the trading partners.
