ONEi BENEFITS

We are interested in developing a product that addresses yours needs in a unique, flexible and comprehensive manner. Through this product, any user - for instance, a Customer Service Representative - would be able to configure how "his system" would look like (through the ONEi) and how and what it would perform (using the ONELiNK). Skilled System Administrators would carry out more complicated system configuration tasks.

The uniqueness of the product comes in through such flexibility and also the flexibility to:

Create/Modify business processes,

Interface with any front-end or back-end system.

Incorporate future systems, applications and devices.

ONEi will basically provide three kinds of functionality:

A Universal Front-end that can be accessed through a wide variety of devices (PC/Mobile Phone/ PDA etc.)

Provide, through this Universal Front-end, a number of User services ( e.g. what we are doing with the ONEi part of the Demo right now)

A graphical Interface known as "ONEi Configuration Manager" to create/ modify/delete Entities or "Workflow/process Units" such as Screens, and each individual element of the screen such as a Text Field.

ONEi CONFIGURATION MANAGER (OCM)

OCM is a JAVA CLIENT (GUI) that will be used by Business Managers and / or System Administrators to define, create and modify Business Processes or Workflow from existing templates (using graphical icons and textual definitions) and assign them to various Users. Any code or scripts required are generated automatically (like an HTML editor that generates the relevant tags and scripts through a graphical designer screen). It would have an explorer-type User Interface, as available in similar products. It would have a Menu Bar (with standard menu options, as well as options that are specific to ONEi). Below the Menu Bar. There would be two toolbars. The first one is the standard toolbar that provides shortcut ICONS used for various FILE and EDIT operations. The second toolbar is known as COMPONENT TOOLBAR that contains different components like TextField, Button, Textarea, Listbox, etc. Used for Screen Design. There will be Tree-View EXPLORER PANE on the Left-hand side that would show the Sequences and its corresponding screens in a hierarchical order. Moreover there will be various kinds of POP-UP WINDOWS associated with various kinds of ENTITIES e.g. Property Sheets of the components. There will be a Status Bar at the bottom of the UI.

ONEi FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

The ONEi 'module' provides the User Interfaces or Screens/Views to the End-Users belonging to various groups such as Sales, Customer Care, Accounts and Finance, to name a few. The Sales Group, in turn, would include various categories such as Store Sales, Field Sales, Tele Sales, and so on. Each User would have the freedom to access the system through various devices such as a PC, Mobile Phone, Net Appliance, etc. The type of device being used would be "detected online" and appropriate screens would be invoked. The Screen Layout (and quantum/type of information available) would depend on the type of device being used to access the application. For instance, a mobile phone user would be to view only the "most critical" information (and not the 'complete' information available through a browser).

The ONEi consists of the following:

ONEi Configuration Manager (OCM)

Prepackaged Services

ONEi USER SERVICES

The User would undertake all his business functions through ONEi - i.e. he would not only view screens but also "transact" using these screens. For instance, by using ONEi, a Salesperson would be able to respond to customer queries, perform a credit check (after a subscription request) and activate a connection as one continuous process, even though multiple systems, both inside and outside the enterprise, are getting involved.

ONEi may be viewed as providing the following key user services:

Presentation Service display and formatting based on type of access device (PC, Cell Phone, PDA etc.) used for the service.

Content Configuration and Management User defined content. Allow creation/alteration of personalized content from units of information and also rapid content definition through use of templates provided as pre-packaged services. This would allow grouping of data elements into a user interface. Such interfaces would be sequenced into workflow for performing business functions and also tailored to different web-access devices.

User Management Provide facilities to create users, define roles and access rights for both content definition and service request.

Request Fulfillment Service to integrate user request through response via integration with business functions and back-end systems.

User data store Provide facilities for the user (administrator and end user) to store information about elements, element mappings, content, content flow, user access and authentication etc.

System services Provide transaction integrity, foreign language support, error reporting and logging, security.
