A Strategic Approach to Tactical Solutions
The Factonomy Framework provides medium and large organisations with a strategic approach to IT and data governance.
The lightweight Framework acts as a common thread throughout the organisation, making it possible for all the applications a company employs to be visible and risk assessed from within a single, centralised repository.
Faced with the task of tracking, maintaining and risk-assessing hundreds or even thousands of bespoke applications in a complex, multidimensional environment, organisations often make painful compromises or persuade business users to accept plain 'vanilla' applications instead.
The Factonomy Framework offers companies an alternative, which facilitates far greater sharing of information within organisations by extending one framework from business user to developer, improving both security of and access to data.
Business users can continue to use, develop and enhance their preferred applications in a managed way and staff will become more productive through improved access to existing systems throughout the organisation.
Development teams can pursue independent application development without compromise, which can be governed, and shared as appropriate, with other parts of the business.
The Factonomy Framework is extensible so developers can expand or add to its capabilities by creating new .NET assemblies and registering these with the core for use by business analysts and framework developers using Declarative XML.
Gartner estimate that 'integration' takes up nearly 35% of the total cost of development, design and maintenance in a typical enterprise project. By implementing the Factonomy Framework across the organisation, companies can eliminate this cost.
Pursuing a strategic approach to tactical solutions and putting all bespoke applications under a single umbrella framework, companies can minimise risks and provide effective data governance, by ensuring company officials know what the applications contain and what the risks and governance issues are in terms of access.
