AN OBJECT OF DESIRE
Actually, there are indeed 3,500 objects
within this image - handmade and individually created . Not for the
first time, the image was copied, manipulated or illegally used - by various
companies, universities and individuals for their business purposes -
worldwide!
The reason for
this abuse definitely is the high quality of this visualization. The
effort of creating was extremly high and expensive of course.
Wolfgang Karner's work illustrates the
software architecture of Comarch ERP enterprise software. It may only
be used by Comarch for sales and training purposes in the immediate
product context. A basic version of the image originally was developed for the pioneering enterprise
application software SEMIRAIMS. The visualization also was constantly
adapted according to the development process of the software and it was
modernized several times. The SEMIRAMIS software is now sold under the
name of COMARCH ERP and is successfully implemented in numerous
companies throughout the world. A few well known companies are:Zalando, SONAX, Victorinox,
Blizzard,Falke, the sportscar manufacturer
Wiesmann,
Develey, Freudenberg , Bernbacher, Dallmayr, Kik, and many more.
