Your Strategic Information
Every organisation relies upon information for the efficient and profitable execution of business. The selection and on-going deployment of information systems will directly impact the day-to-day efficiency and profitability of each business unit served.
The needs of a business are constantly shifting. Competitors strengthen their own position, environmental and economic factors change and the size and scope of your business will change over time.
Flexibility is key. Managers and senior staff are best placed to understand the information needs of their direct reports but are often burdened with inflexible systems or limited access to the highly skilled I.T. resource required to flex systems to best meet changing requirements.
In the past, businesses had only two choices. Purchasing an off-the-shelf system required the business to adapt to the way others have addressed the information requirement. Developing a system from scratch or heavy customisation of existing enterprise solutions carries high levels of cost and the risk of failure.
The Factonomy Strategic Information Framework is a declarative business processing and presentation engine. A declarative approach to systems development allows business analysts and trained business managers to configure the framework with details of the information to be accessed and the business processes to be undertaken. The framework uses this configuration to deliver the required screens and create any required program code for the instance in which it is required.
The Factonomy Framework is not always a replacement for existing systems that already store vital information and provide valid functionality to some areas of a business. The Framework can be configured to work with existing information assets providing greater access to the appropriate information across an organisation and reducing any double entry.
The declarative approach to enterprise solutions reduces friction between resource constrained central I.T functions and business units that require simple to use systems that can grow and flex with rapidly changing requirements. I.T can deploy and maintain the core framework dealing with server resource, security and systems integration whilst delegating the configuration of individual system elements directly to the business units that need them.
Unlike any other enterprise strength solution, the Factonomy Strategic Information Framework distils all configuration and development tasks in a single XML-based declarative language that is both readable and easy to learn. This fundamentally different approach reduces the cost of development teams whilst at the same time very significantly reducing the time taken to develop systems.
Increased flexibility, reduced development head count and shorter project timescales have brought declarative frameworks to the forefront of enterprise information strategies. Factonomy delivers the most comprehensive solutions of its type available today.
