## XML CoP – Case Management

**XML CoP – Case Management**

**April 20 , 2005 **

## Agenda

- Background
- Overview of Application XML
- Value and Proof: Demonstration of Mobile (Disconnected) Case Management Application
- Open Discussion

## Background

- Over 15 years focused on Reuse and Assembly of Software
- _Recognized by Dr. Charles Goldfarb_ published in his 5th Edition of the top selling XML handbook
- ObjectBuilders is the leading provider of _Assembled Software Solutions. _
- ObjectBuilders Software Solutions are _Assembled and delivered entirely in XML._

## Goal

*How many of you would like to (need to) deliver higher quality, more complex software solutions faster and at less cost?*
*We will show you the way...*
*Peak your interest so that you further explore the concept of Application XML and Assembling Software Solutions.*

## Application XML Exceeds The Presidents Case Management LoB Goals

**The President’s LoB Initiative Vision **
- Utilizing common solutions and data standards, case management information is easily and appropriately shared within and between federal and local agencies and with citizens.
**The President’s LoB Initiative Goals**
- Enable case management data to be shared efficiently within and across agencies.
- Improve effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement, investigation, and civil and criminal litigation case management business processes.
- Identify common case management processes across components and agencies that will drive system and function consolidation.

## What is Application XML?

- Just another XML Schema? Not to ObjectBuilders...
- Application XML enables TRUE Application Assembly
- Application Assembly = Consistent High Quality Solutions in Less Time and for Less Cost

## What do I need to Assemble?

- Physical infrastructure (new and existing)
- Modules and Services (as opposed to objects and frameworks)
- Common architecture (XML and Web Services)
- Powerful productivity tools for Assembly
- Engines capable of rendering Application XML (called players)

## What about Code?

- Three Tiered Architecture

- Three Tiered Architecture
- With Application Layer

- Code still exists. Application assembly or the application layer rides on top of coded services and existing infrastructure.
- The goal is to have ZERO code in the Application Layer

## Available today...The Proof...

- How many of you would like to see a robust application (not a click through demo) that was created in 2 weeks and is 100% assembled?
- A totally disconnected Case Management application
- How workers are provided with a “*Mobile Packet*” that contains all the data, records, and materials needed to complete assigned tasks
- Integrate multiple data sources and leverages existing infrastructure
- Leverages like SQL Server and FileNet Workflow
- Open, Represented 100% in XML. Open, technology independent
- Works in thin, rich and full client. Future proof
- 100% reuse of base components. 100% reuse of standard modules. 90% reuse of templates and Solution modules and services as applicable

## The Demonstration

**FACILITY**

**STATE DEP**

**EPA**

**Application for Permit**

**Permit received and Manager Assigns to Reviewer**

**Reviewer determines Inspection is needed.**

**Inspector downloads work to Tablet PC.**

**Inspector performs inspection at facility.**

**Inspector returns to office an uploads work.**

**Reviewer receives inspection reports and forwards approved permit to EPA.**

**EPA Reviews and adds comments to permit as necessary.**

## ObjectBuilders Overview

**ObjectBuilders Overview**

** **

## Introduction

**The business problem - trying to create higher quality, faster and less expensive business applications – This is the goal of any manufacturer**
**Computer Hardware has evolved – computers are now manufactured by assembling interchangeable and reusable components**
**Computer Software has not evolved to the level of computer **
**hardware manufacturing**
**ObjectBuilders provides the solution – A True Application Assembly Platform**

## Technology Leadership

**GMAC said that their R3 project (Created using ObjectBuilders products) was the most successful delivery as far as they can remember**
**Delivered a 500 page custom business application 30 days after the specification was completed**
**ObjectBuilders applications have stood the test of time. Through an upgrade to the base player, customers have been able to move from: Win 3.1 16 bit to Windows 32 Bit to Distributed N-Tiered to Thin Client to Rich Client to Disconnect – All without rewriting a single line of code**

## How Application XML Works

- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
- <OBAFArchiver  ID = "_OBAFArchiver0">
- 	<ObjectList>
- 		<OBWindow  title = "Import Run"
- 			<OBView  h = "593"  documentFile =
- 				<OBButton  ID = "_OBButton0"  nex
- 				</OBButton>
- 				<OBBox  parentIDREF = "_OBView0"
- 					<OBView  h = "39"  documentF
- 						<OBButton  ID = "_OBButto
- 						</OBButton>

## The Factory

**Past**

## Challenges Solved by the LiveApp PlayerTM

- Applications are not flexible, adaptable and scalable to changing business requirements
- Application needs to be created for specific deployment technology. Applications are not technology and vendor independent
- Packaged vs. Custom: Custom solutions are very risky; Packaged solutions force businesses to fit the package
- Multi vendor product integration
- Multi platform deployments
- Leverage existing corporate technology infrastructure
- Future Proofing
- Technology Independent

## Case Study – Media/Communications

- Challenge
- Thousands of partners; multiple channels; all unique contracts
- Need to implement new contracts rapidly to meet market demands (competitive, strategic, tactical)
- Need to integrate multiple internal and external data sources and production systems (Siebel, Oracle, Lawson, Portal, customer systems)
- Solution
- FinancialStream
- Originally custom LiveXML
-  Results
- A single source to manage the entire contractual relationship
- Automated settlement, reporting & auditing of financial obligations
- 80% of all enhancements handled through Admin Interface
