Bring world-class technology to your business

Without procedural coding or crafting of SQL commands SocrateOpen's Model-driven Architecture enables rapid application customizations such as:

• Add a new column to a table
• Add optional validation rules (list of values, range, etc.)
• Redesign an application window to display the new column
• Enter data into the new column through the application window
• Create a report which includes the new column or uses the new column as a query parameter

Web Architecture

SocrateOpen web architecture dramatically improves user experience. It is an example of the latest generation of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) that utilizes Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technology to deliver functionality, usability, responsiveness and personalization through a Web browser.

Workflow

SocrateOpen's flexible workflow model gives you the ability to define automated workflow rules that match your business practices. The system conforms to Business process management (BPM) standards from the Workflow Management Coalition and Object Management Group.

Security

SocrateOpen provides a complete application-level security infrastructure, supporting role, data security, data encryption and auditing. These comprehensive security features enables the application architect to implement security policies that protect your valuable corporate data from inappropriate or unlawful access while enabling your trusted employees to effectively do their jobs. Security policies are extremely flexible and are defined without programming

Transaction Integrity

SocrateOpen ensures that every transaction can be repeated and regenerated. Transaction failures, while rare, can occur. In most cases these errors are identified by the system immediately. An error causes the system to alert the user, who can attempt to fix the problem. If recovery is not possible, the failed transaction is isolated and the rest of the system continues to work. This "transaction de-coupling" is the basis for SocrateOpen's transaction integrity system.

Automated Migration

One of Socrates' primary design principles is that any element of the system can be changed at any time without consequences in other parts of the application or to application data. This very simple principle gives you unprecedented flexibility in managing your application over time.

The Migration Management solution fully embodies the "change anything at any time" principle. Migration Management enables you to migrate to newer versions of SocrateOpen periodically while preserving all of the customizations, extensions and transaction data accumulated since you first deployed your SocrateOpen solution.

Integration

SocrateOpen fully integrates ERP, CRM and Performance Management data and processes. This tight integration ensures that the different functional areas have all the information required for business decision-making. There is no need to derive information as source transactions include linkages to all needed supporting data. Neither is there any delay in users having up to date information as there is no need to transport data or perform any data cleansing routines.
