What is Agilewiz BPMS™
The main differentiator lies not in “what is
delivered” but “the manner in which it is delivered”. It is a known
fact that any customer implementing an ERP undergoes a traumatic
experience in the actual implementation. It is in this area
that iWeb has ensured that its main product called iWEB ENTERPRISE
SUITE™ and its various modules are created under its own
application framework Agilewiz which is a Business Process Management Suite
(BPMS)™ having its own Rule Engine or Business Rules
Management System (BRMS). This ensures that implementers do not have
to repeatedly rely on software principals for critical but necessary
customisation of the product.
In order to understand what iWeb can do for
you it is imperative to understand the Agilewiz Business Process Development Suite™ as it is
the main differentiator of their offerings vis-à-vis the
competition. When
managing and improving business processes, the complexity of
information systems can quickly begin to limit rather than enable
business operations. The Agilewiz Business Process Management
Suite (BPMS)™ with the in-built Business Rules Engine breaks this
cycle by allowing you to create IT solutions based on your business
processes & business rules, rather than on your IT systems.
Using Agilewiz BPMS™, both technical and
non-technical professionals can model business processes using the
same simple, accessible tools. You can rapidly create and change IT
applications, while focusing on the tasks and activities critical to
your business, free of any restrictions from underlying information
systems. So with a little training on the system any ordinary person
can use the software.
Agilewiz BPMS™ helps software developers to Analyze,
Prototype, Develop, Test and Implement Business Application
Solutions in an easy, fast & low cost manner.
Agilewiz BPMS™ is thus as fast as you need it to be,
taking the shortest time from design to implementation stage for any
business requirement for any vertical. It also provides performance
that improves in a near-linear way as new resources are added to the
equation. Providing the highest availability for the lowest T.C.O,
It’s the best bang for your buck in these troubled times.
It is no wonder then, that with
such innovative and marketable software on their hands that they are
partnered with giants like Intel, Microsoft & IBM.
Their Business offerings are centred around
three major categories:

Technical Details of Agilewiz BPMS™
Agilewiz BPMS™ is a system tool which can
build fully functional application modules by feeding the
appropriate metadata as input. Based on user requirements, there can
be flexible customizations made to the framework before the
application is built.
This document throws light on all the explicit
features, developed in phase 1, by providing a prototype of each
feature. The features which are developed are listed in the
Functional Requirements section of this document and a detailed
description of each page of the application is provided in the
functional description section of this document. Additionally, a
description of the proposed solution gives a rough idea of the
architecture on which this application is built.
Functional
Requirements (Scope of Work)
The scope of work for phase 1 includes the
following:
·
Date base/Table
selection/maintenance
·
Page generation/preview
(page layout)
·
Editor
·
Meta Data creation and maintenance
·
Printing Feature
·
Email creation
·
Chat Integration
·
Shortcut links
o
Search
o
Add to favourites
o
Calendar
o
Quick Add
·
Personalization of pages (changing theme)
·
Set up creation and compilation
·
Solution creation
o
SFA application creation
·
WCF implementation
o
Rule engine – for 2 rules viz:
§
Data type rule integration - Default selection of date/time
picker user control when selected component is for Date of Birth
(DOB)
§
Formula rule integration - Calculation for Gross (Gross =
HRA+BA-PF)
·
Process Engine
Rules
The WCF Rules service will bifurcate and
maintain all the rules for different applications. These rules are
sent as xml to the Agilewiz™ for binding the controls, page and
flow.
7 Layer Creation
The class files for every layer should get
generated and compiled and referred in every layer. Also call to the
insert stored procedure from the persistent engine should be made
for every respective page in the UI. Also there should be a common
method which takes care of calling the stored procedure.
Email Creation
The email creation facility will enable the
user to send and receive emails through the application.
The user will enter the destination email id
and self email id to send any email. Currently in the application,
the user will only be able to send an email.
Chat
Functionality
This feature will enable the user to chat with
other users of the same application module.
The user needs to select a channel so that a
chat window can start.
Meta
data creation
User can create metadata or can even use the
existing meta data respective to the application he is going to
create. The user’s meta data or script or any artefacts will undergo
approval process.
Table creation/Maintenance
Before the user starts working on the
application, he is enabled to select the tables with which he needs
to work on.
This particular feature allows the user to
select the server and then the tables. Along with creation of new
tables and columns, a user can even delete columns and tables.
State
Transition
The first level of state transition was
implemented. The Approve/Rejected/Close/On Hold transition will be
the state of the document at any point of time. It will be initiated
when the document is created by the user.
Solution Creation
The final process that is created using
Agilewiz™ is termed as the final solution.
Agilewiz™ will create a solution for different
applications like SFA, CRM, SRM etc. based on the preferences and
customizations of the end user, and once developed it will be
deployed on the computer systems of the end user.
The solution which is created will be packaged
with all the functionalities like the editor, bonded rules, user
controls, specific pages etc.
Once this solution is finally integrated at the
client side, the end user can start using the application at his
end.
Set up creation and compilation
The user is provided with a setup .exe file. On
installing this setup the solution will be built and deployed on
client IIS.
Process Engine
The Table creation for the destination database
[which the generated application needs to use], deploying the stored
procedures, Solution creation, compilation of the solution and setup
creation are all done by this process engine.
Once the setup creation is completed, user can
take the setup.exe and the associated files to his location and
using setup.exe he can extract and deploy the application into IIS.
These are taken care by the setup.exe.
