SoftRobot Business Application Software Development Technology FAQ

Q. What is SoftRobot Technology? What is the need for such technology?

Software Development is necessary evil for every business. How fast and at what cost your company manage to get it done is major decision factor. Manage requirements &change to ensure timely delivery is most important function in development.

There are two major elements of costs in software development:

Speed of development (Ideally from days to years).
Software Developers cost. (Ideally in range of US$ 10-1000 / man-hours).

You need to increase speed of development at the same time you need to reduce costs to win the order. SoftRobot Technology is designed specifically to answer this problem.

SoftRobot means Software Robot designed to work like your paid programmer. Programmer’s knowledge of business application development is fed in SoftRobot to achieve speed of development by eliminating coding as far as possible.

SoftRobot is a brand new, interactive, codeless, data driven, technology that eliminates 80% of the traditional software development cycle time from design to implementation, All WITHOUT generating any SOURCE code, recompiling OR possessing any language suite.

SoftRobot will help software developers to Analyze, Prototype, Develop, Test and Implement Business Applications Solutions in easy, fast & low cost manner.

Apart from RAD & CASE enabled Component based complex development methods, another method of documents-based applications development was required. Having to write code to perform basic or common operations places an unnecessary burden on the developer. A complete strategy was required to support both programmatic and codeless application development, to support all applications and developers. Hence codeless methodology was developed where coding is minimum.

Here codeless means we do not generate client-end code files like asp, jsp or exe for creating standard applications. Application Logic is stored in database itself. Our SoftRobot Engine then develops front ends by reading application logic stored in database. Advantage of using standard translator programs like SoftRobot engine is to reduce error and application development time.

Entire SoftRobot Technology is web based e-document management system.

Q. What do you mean by Documents in SoftRobot Technologies?

Document means electronic Document. Documents in cyberspace work together to achieve real e-Business. e-Business is electronic Business methodology which is virtual compared to physical business. Electronic Documents are analogy of physical paper based documents. Once on your computer desktop, these documents can be retrieved effortlessly in seconds.

Basic purpose of computerization is creating, managing & retrieving electronic documents. All software available in market try to solve this basic purpose whether it is MS Office, SoftRobot, SAP, Auto CAD, Photo Shop, Web Pages etc. These software provide basic facility to create, view or print various types of Documents. The software like MS Office, SoftRobot etc. are document interpreters, builders and are called virtual machines. E.g. Word is a virtual machine, which replaces physical machine like typewriters.

Thousands of organizations around the world use electronic documents every day instead of paper documents to achieve e-Business. The reasons for this change are simple:

Prevents lost records
Saves storage space
Manages records easily
Finds documents quickly
Makes documents remotely available
Eliminates need for physical file cabinets
Distribution become easy via email or internet
Helps environment become pollution free

A complete document management system comprises of six elements:

Documents are entered or scanned into the system. The document management system stores them somewhere on a hard drive or optical disk. The documents then get indexed. When a person later wants to read a document, they use the retrieval tools available in the document system. Which documents can be read and what actions performed on these documents is dependent on the access provided by the document management system. Every document system requires security. SoftRobot is a complete document management system comprising of all six elements as mentioned above.

As document is container of information, similarly folders or registers are containers of documents. Group of physical files stored in NOS (Network Operating System) like Windows (We also called files as documents) are stored in a container or binder called Folder. Whereas group of physical records in BOS (Business Operating System) like ERPWEB (We also called records in database tables as documents) are stored in a container called Register.

Q. What do you mean by Applications in SoftRobot Technologies?

Despite all the perceived arguments, complexities and theories computers perform only 2 functions:

Capture Information (add, edit, delete, capture, browse, process data)
Produce Information (reports, spreadsheets, paper, electronic, web, wireless).

Any software application at end of day is information processing system, which captures and produces data in organized fashion. Ideally speaking SoftRobot development methodology maintains analogy of physical world – by storing information in container called document. The person who uses this document and its information is called user.

Thus SoftRobot development solution is document and user based development. It is important to Study physical world and try to map as it is in software. Do not think like programmers. Do not think in terms of Objects, Classes, DLLs & UMLs. Think simple and build simple.

Each Document is stored in container called Register. Physical files are usually stored in container called Folder (WorkRooms). Registers are stored in database, which looks like a big Filing Cabinet. Similarly Folders are stored in Operating systems drive based Filing Cabinets (c:, a: etc.).

An application is a group of documents, users, menus, database etc. as follows:

Documents: Every application can have documents of various type like :

Forms: Where data is entered, modified, deleted or transferred.
Reports: Where data is read only, organized and presented.

Registers: Every application can have various registers containing this documents like:

Open: This means all documents in this register are open for add, edit, delete.
Approve: This means all documents in this register are waiting for your approval.
OffHold: This means all onhold documents in this register are waiting for offhold.
Closed: This means all documents in this registers are successfully approved and closed and can be printed or emailed.
Rejected: This means all documents in this registers are rejected, can also be printed or emailed.
Customized: This register can be DTS – Data Transfer Services transferring certain data as per certain conditions.

Menus: Every application can have menus organized with different schemes as follows:

- Menu Scheme 1: Department wise menu organization

Department and Module name linked to module help

Procedure name with SubModule help linked

Document name with WorkRoom Folder Link

Registers name with functions like Add, Edit, Delete, Search Functions associated.

- Menu Scheme 2: Traditional Operation wise menu organization

Masters: One time documents entry to setup or implement system
Transactions: Daily Transaction Entries
Reports: Output read-only documents to produce organized results.

- Menu Scheme 3: Self-service customized Portal based menu as per roles

Now software’s are also driven via individual user specific portals.

Departments: Every company has departments

Role based Portals: Every departments has people with roles

Menu Screen as per Roles: Every role can be defined using documents

Users: Every application can have users with user manager

Workflow: Every user has to assign a user right to define workflow where specific documents with specific rights are available for action within register. If a user is allowed to access Open register then he can create or edit document. If a user is assigned to approve, he can Approve, Onhold or Reject document etc.

All the above application requires software structure, which end-users will hardly understand in that:

These application structures can be described further as follows:

Document Types: There can be many document types

Master only Form: Documents with single database Table
Master/Details Form: Documents with Master and Details linked database Tables
DTS Document: Data Transformation services documents, which transfers data from one database table to another with certain logic in between. This is useful for EAI(Enterprise Application Integration).
Reports: Read-only data generated in HTML/XML for real B2B links.
Linked files: Files in MS Office formats are linked to applications.

Documents Database: There can be associated documents database

Tables: Actual place where the data will be stored
Views: Pull data from various tables and views as per requirements.

Q: You said Software Engineering is still baby – in its infancy stage? Explain how?

- If hardware technology efficiencies are doubling every 12 to 18 months why hasn't the time required, number of people and expertise to develop and implement software applications decreased to correspond with these expanded technical abilities?

- In recent years computer hardware prices have dropped dramatically. Why have the costs for software or consulting services continued to escalate?

- If the brand name software and consulting companies truly perform and deliver as advertised why don't they offer a guarantee of success to customers?

- Has high cost branded software system saved the client money, enhances customer relations and brings value to shareholders? Check it yourself. Whose interests are the MNCs or big Brand vendors really looking out for?

- All above things shows that there is a need for software, which develops software there by reducing software development cycle time and cost by reducing number of developers developing it.

- SoftRobot provides a totally new Software Engineering Methodology.

Q. Can you summarize what SoftRobot is and what it is not?

WHAT IT IS

SoftRobot is the first truly data driven codeless development technology tool that can handle all your projects from a single application to your enterprise software requirements. With SoftRobot a developer or Business Analyst can easily create and change another developers work. With SoftRobot there is virtually no learning curve. SoftRobot is like real life document based development tool.

WHAT IT IS NOT

SoftRobot is not a toolkit that programmers use to glue modules together nor is it a visual product that requires a long learning curve to effectively use and support. Today’s visual tools and databases literally take years to learn and effectively utilize. These products often require a team of “specialists” to design and implement a complete application. Creating solutions by gluing these complex tools together has caused untold corporate disasters, cost overruns and cancelled projects. Traditional DCOM and CORBA Classes and Objects have created complex programming world with infinite errors & incompatibilities. SoftRobot limits usage of this Classes upto DOM, ASP & ADO APIs. Limited use reduces learning curve and complexity. You are allowed to over ride SoftRobot methodology with traditional methods wherever necessary. Many program files in ERPWEB are written in traditional methods, as SoftRobot cannot produce it automatically. For latest information visit our websites at www.softrobot.net & www.erpweb.com.

Q. What tools SoftRobot provide to build real-time B2B e-Business system?

SoftRobot has EAI (Enterprises Application Integration) tool via its direct Document DTS Register(Data Transformation Services), which transfers data from one application database to other application database of same or different types.

SoftRobot can produce reports in XML format so that it can directly be provided to outside business associates, so that end-to-end e-Business can be achieved without releasing architecture of entire system.

SoftRobot can read and update its database from any 3^rd party XML or Excel files with the help of its Document Upload facility.

SoftRobot Agent Technology can produce business intelligent alerts for mobiles in sms formats and for other devices in html or email formats.

Q. Kindly specify security features available in SoftRobot?.

In SoftRobot at bottom of every document before you do actions like Add, Edit, Delete, Approve, Onhold, OffHold you will find a signature box. The signature and password is same in SoftRobot. You need to provide your login password as signature. You can use standard web security techniques like SSL – to protect data traveling on network by way of encrypting it. By using digital signatures or digital certificates – so that only people with specific signatures can only open the website or email. You can use different port number for your web server also.
