software for agile data management

The JACAMAR (fka. SDV) is ...

• A stand-alone tool to structure and display data in Tree-Tables.

• An alternative for overwhelming standard spreadsheet applications – Add a level of confidence, workflow support and user friendliness– Multi-user accessible– Still document-based Office-tool approach– Still maintaining easy spreadsheet handling

• Acts like a full blown database, but does not need the maintenance overhead (no server)

• Everything is configurable– That is:

• Data model, • view presentation and • filter definition

• No offline programming required

3

Technical features

• Pure client application

- data storage in multi-user-repository (LAN or cloud)

• In Memory Technics

- Real time processing• NoSQL Database

- intuitive navigation language• Multi-threading user interface• Pure Java

Excel is the worst case for professional Information Management

• No central data storage concept (Where/What is the original?)

• No real time multi user access • No user role / privileges concept• Very poor user friendliness for bigger lists• No support for structuring data cascades (trees)• No process robustness at all (no format restrictions)• No interoperability between similar lists

(Much double work in different business areas to merge data)

• High failure potential

5

Design principles

• Absorb principles from relational databases– Distinction between background data tables and virtual rule-based computation of

view content.

• Absorb principles from Office applications– No offline programming, everything is configurable at runtime– Document based process (Open – Edit – Save cycle)– Utilize client benefits: get best runtime performance

All elements are loaded and finally connected at start-up; No reloading delays during working time

– Interoperatibility with other office applications Direct clipboard-copy/paste; no separate import/export required.

• Additional “unique selling points”– Data display in tree structures– “Think with the User”: Content proposals wherever obvious– Alternative data storage concept: Integrated upload functionality

to web based Content Management systems

Worldwide access by Web Based storage

The JACAMAR tool has built in support for - local file system storage and web based storage systems

Enterprise network

Europe domain

North America domain

Asia domain

Web based CMS system

Shared drives (restricted to domain borders)

User friendliness

• Handling very similar to well known spreadsheet applications

• Foldable tree structures• Scalable data focus

– Sub-sets of data (multiple purpose specific views)– Show sub-trees only at runtime (“Go Into a branch”)

• savable user defined Filters• Intuitive element relation with Drag & Drop• Intelligent content proposals

A third client opens

reads first the table data

and after that the change records.

Other clients close also.

The last one deletes the change
