There will be a total eclipse of the sun at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.This is something that we cannot see happening everyday, so let the workforce line up outside in their best clothes to watch it. To mark this occasion of rare occurrence, I will personally explain to them. If It is raining, we shall not be able to see it very well and in that case the workforce should assemble in the canteen.

By the order of the Managing Director, there will be a total eclipse of the sun at nine o’ clock tomorrow morning. If it is raining we shall not be able to see it very well on the site, in our best clothes. In that case the disappearance of the sun will be followed through in the canteen. This is something we cannot see happen everyday.

By the order of our Managing Director, we shall follow through, in our best

clothes, the disappearance of the sun in the canteen at nine o’ clock tomorrow

morning. The managing director will tell us whether it is going to rain. This is

something which we cannot see happen everyday.

Axpert™ - Introduction

Agile Process Engine used for building Business applications without writing code

Patent pending in US Axpert™ developer allows to define the following blocks

Input forms Queries / reports Workflow Background processes Interaction with other apps User access control

The business logic is stored in database as “process Structures”

Not a Code generator. Building / changing processes very easy. Axpert™ is SOA compliant

Advantages of our technology

Lean architecture & hence better performance, needs lesser hardware resources.

Smart Client Architecture Database structures are transparent with adequate security & hence

avoids vendor locking. SOA makes it highly interoperable. Easy to connect with other

applications Simple to maintain & extend. The cost of maintenance is low. Better ROI. The time taken to build an application is comparatively less.

So, a custom made application that suits the organization can be built in a short time. Hence, this could be cost effective solution.

Highly reliable. The process engine is time tested & durable. This has been delivering results in more than 500 customer sites.

Axpert™ Vs Packaged Applications

Packaged Applications Axpert™

Ready built processes No ready built processes. All processes built for specific requirement

Process Gaps exist and so “work-around” / customizations required.

No process Gaps and so no “work-around” / customizations required

“work-around” / customizations take lot of extra effort, cost and time.

no “work-around” / customizations and hence no extra effort, cost and time.

Some third party solutions may be required and hence EAI effort, cost and time required.

No third party solutions required

Unwanted processes and data fields make application heavy affecting the performance.

Only required processes and data fields make application very lean and hence performs better

High-end H/W infrastructure required for good performance

Average infrastructure is adequate for good performance

Look and feel cannot be changed Look and feel can be changed

Modifications and maintenance difficult and need to depend on “implementers”

Modifications and maintenance easy and can be done by in-house staff

Axpert™ Vs. NET/Java development

.Net / Java AXPert

Deep Technical skill required for development

Only business process knowledge with little technical skill is adequate for development

Lot of effort required for detailed design including database design, GUI design, work flow design, transaction management and coding.

Less effort is required as these mundane programming tasks are eliminated. (effort reduction is to the extent on 80%)

Higher level of skills required for adapting to Agile methodologies.

Facilitates easy adaptation of Agile methodologies

Newer technology adaptation is difficult as the business logic is part of application layer.

Technology adaptation is easy as the process definitions are part database layer.

Change management is difficult Change management is easy. (do it yourself!)

Maintenance is expensive as technical dependency is high

Maintenance cost is low as there is lesser dependence on technical resources

Our Value Proposition

For Software product vendors Can use this engine for product development Reduce the “go to market” time considerably for the new product. Reduce the product development cost significantly thereby increasing the

profitability and reducing the “payback” period. Incorporating newer functionalities will take lesser time. Can use this as platform for CRM, Product support Can use this as end to end ERP for project management, timesheet

management, HR, finance & accounting etc, asset management etc

For software service providers Can use this as platform for CRM, Product support Can use this as end to end ERP for project management, timesheet

management, HR, finance & accounting etc, asset management etc Can use this engine for building custom built application for end customers. (can

save on development time, effort and cost) Can be our solution partner for taking this to market and build practice around

this technology

For eGovernance Faster execution , Lower cost, with poor connectivity Lower cost of Change management and maintenance

Our customer says…

What Mr.Sivasailem, IAS, MD says….

Agile Labs are our our main Technology partners implemented through M/s Bluechip Marketing Pvt Ltd. They have set up the e-infrastructure for our operations that spans more than 53 depots spread over 29 districts, more than 6000 products of over 180 suppliers spread over Karnataka, India and the world.

They have enabled the practical application of the concept – Decentralised operations with centralized control – enabling a seamless blend of operational and strategic decision-making to be done on the same information platform. The system solution is solid, secure, robust and reliable. It is amenable to integration with other software systems.

Their ability and willingness to integrate systems developed by other developers (in our case by the NIC-Karnataka) confirms the versatile nature of their systems and profusely speaks volumes about their confidence in their technological solution and their willingness to work with other technology partner organizations that our company is associated with.

What is particularly striking about the Agile Labs team is their attitude of maintaining continuing relationship with their customers on a long term basis not through imposing themselves with software and systems that make them indispensable but by their friendly support services which is not just desirable but affordable. Simply put, they are good people to be friends with but even better business partners………
