Klopotek software. It is web-based and available

in addition to your Klopotek rich client solution.

Supporting key business processes in a

smart and simple way

Status-driven workflow engines which can

easily be adapted to your specific

requirements

Business process-oriented support for key

tasks: simple and easy to use

User interaction across all devices

Klopotek's dual technology stack ensures secure co-

existence of classic and STREAM line while transition

Dual Technology Stack

Classic line and STREAM

WebApps are using the

same WebServices to

access the business logic

(read & write)

Classic line partially will

use DataStores and

DataWindows by

PowerBuilder to read data

for compatible reasons

(read only)

8

Strong backing by future-proofed technologies

Angular, is an open-source web application

framework maintained by Google and a

community of individual developers and

corporations to address many of the

challenges encountered in developing single-

page applications.

MarkLogic Corporation is an American software

business that develops and provides an

enterprise NoSQL database, MarkLogic.

MarkLogic is a document-oriented database

platform that has a schema-agnostic data model

for storing and managing XML, JSON, RDF, and

Geospatial data.

Transition by decomposition of functions & features

10

Key features and benefits:

Functions & features of the classic line are reviewed and re-

packaged to workflow-oriented applications

STREAM line is compatible to classic line release 10.8/11

secured by dual technology stack

New key features based on release 10.8/11 are available in the

STREAM line mainly

Merge of release 10.8 and 11 ends in core multi-tier-platform

development, deployment & delivery

Enterprise deployment & delivery of the core platform based on

release 11

Continuous deployment & delivery for applications of the

STREAM line

Roadmap for transition of CRR, O2C and Title Management

Transition is attended by founding KSTS Italy to support

development and change management

Oracle & MarkLogic are used by “best-fit” principle

13

Key features and benefits:

Data access layer is implemented independent of Oracle / MarkLogic

Oracle “best-fit” for transactions-based data (e.g. used in O2C)

Mature technology for OLTP (On-line Transaction Processing) environments with

strong relational data model

MarkLogic “best-fit” for knowledge and information-based data

Mature technology and established commercial solution for non-relational and hybrid

data models

Support of ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transactions for

enterprise solutions

Schema-free & schema-agnostic offers high flexibility and scalability while operating

on big amount of data

Reporting & analytics covered by 3rd Party solution

14

Key features and benefits:

Klopotek was evaluating 3rd – Party solutions to offer open platform for

reporting and analytics which covers:

AdHoc Reporting & Designed Reports for classic & STREAM line

Analysis Reports & Dashboards for custom-specific implementations

Leading provider of the evaluation was Pentaho

Open source solution with commercial support matching general requirements with

strong development roadmap

Only one which is able to access Oracle & MarkLogic in a common way

“Klopotek Analytics” powered by Pentaho available 1st of April 2016

Klopotek becomes OEM partner of Pentaho 30th of September 2015

Platform will be highly integrated to Klopotek classic and STREAM line

Platform can be enriched by custom specific data sources and implementations

15

Klopotek goes cloud computing

Classic line and STREAM line can be

operated and managed in different

scenarios

First 100% public cloud solution

“Rights Sales Manager”

On-Premises Private Cloud Public Cloud

• Hosted and managed on

computers on the premises (in the

building) of the publisher

• Hosted at Service Provider Site

(Klopotek DC or Amazon AWS)

• Supports one customer

• Does not utilize shared

infrastructure

• Connectivity over private

network/fiber or the internet

• Supports classic and STREAM

lines

• Hosted at a Service Provider Site

(Klopotek DC or Amazon AWS)

• Supports multiple customers

• Utilizes shared infrastucture

• Fully supported by STREAM

Architecture

11

Continuously measuring the QoS results in an excellent

UX and performance benchmarking

Enhancement of classic and STREAM lines to measure and log server

side transactions and End-2-End scenarios

Target KPIs for classic and STREAM line

Server side transactions (webservices) 0.5 sec (business hours)

End-2-End scenarios (UX) 0.5 sec (business hours)

End-2-End scenarios (FAB) 100,000 order positions in 2 hours

Visualization and continuously benchmarking e.g. with Elastic, Kibana

Server side transactions End-2-End scenarios
