Please fill up the form below and we will submit a proposal for your project. Alternatively, you can send email to contact@optionm.net with the project requirements. Contents Project Description Capability Analysis Technology Architecture Tangible Benefits Click here for more details Project Description The overall objective was to enable companies to cost effectively monitor key performance indicators to achieve their strategic objectives. A completely generic solution while technically and conceptually elegant was too formidable for users to configure and use. We recommend a set of pre-configured industry specific versions of the proposed performance management system (hereafter PMS). These pre-configured versions can be further enhanced or modified by the customers to match their specific business needs. Security was a key concern and SSL was used for communication across application tiers (browser-web server-database). Database can be stored on another host if required and can be accesses only through programs and not accessible directly. All data in database can be kept after encryption by encryption methodology and decrypted when required. Java EE was used to develop this web application at Linux Platform. Data security was dealt with detail in this proposal and was an important part of this project. AJAX methodology and XML was also be used to fetch the data from database and show dynamically.

Back to top Capability Analysis In this section, we have described the comprehensive list of capabilities that the proposed application provides to the following types of users:: Site Visitors Registered Client & Administrator Users of Registered Client Super User The next page describes the capabilities of the site for the above types of users. Based on this analysis, we have prepared a navigational layout for front-end site as well as the admin panel. Finally, we use these artifacts to create a work breakdown structure and assign roles and estimated person hours for each activity. Consolidated effort estimation, project schedule and price / payment terms was provided. Site Visitors Site visitors can go through the informational pages like About Us, Our Approach, and Contact Us etc and can go through the demo of the online service. Site visitors can also see different membership options and can register for available free services. Site visitor can also go through the service brochure for more details. Site visitor can also browse the feedback about services submitted by registered users. Site visitor can also go through a survey questionnaire to check the suitability of services for him.

Back to top Technology Architecture Secure transfer and storage of information was the key design consideration. SSL was used not just for communication between browser and web server but the communication between the application and database server was encrypted as well. Java EE in model view controller architecture on a Linux server was the recommended choice for building this application. Java enabled browsers also provide sandbox security within the JVM process container. We recommend Java EE for the following reasons: Easier development. The focus in Java EE 5was ease of development. With Java EE 5, there was less code to write -- much of the boilerplate code has been removed, defaults were used whenever possible, and annotations was used extensively to reduce the need for deployment descriptors. EJB -- simpler, better. EJB 3.0 makes programming with Enterprise JavaBeans technology simpler through the use of Plain Old Java Objects (POJO), it also introduces a new persistence API. Enhanced web services. Java EE 5 includes simplified web services support and the latest web services APIs, making it an ideal implementation platform for Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). JSF, JSTL, AJAX, and more. Constructing web applications was made easier with Java Server Faces (JSF) technology and the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL). Java EE 5 supports rich thin-client technologies such as AJAX, technologies that was crucial for building applications for Web 2.0. The Web browser itself plays a large role in the security of the system. The Web browser defines and implements a security policy for running downloaded Java code. A Java enabled Web browser was include a Java interpreter and runtime library along with classes added to implement a Security Manager and various Class Loaders. From a security standpoint, the Web browser's implementation of the SecurityManager was much more critical than the implementation of the Class Loaders. The Security Manager controls the access to critical system resources. This allows the writer of a Web browser to implement a specific security policy by subclassing the Security Manager and overriding certain methods, and then installing the new version as the system Security Manager. Since the subclassed Security Manager implements the security policy, it was critical that the Web browser's version of the Security Manager was implemented correctly. In the extreme, if a Java enabled Web browser did not install a system SecurityManager, an applet would have the same access as a local Java application. The Web browser's security policy can be made arbitrarily complex since the SecurityManager hooks provide a flexible interface. Any policy that can be programmed can be used. For example, the policy can have the SecurityManager query the user with information regarding any particular requested access. The first phase was offered a pure centralized hosted application which the users can rent out through online payments on the site. Cross browser compatibility was ensured and architecture of both business as well as database tier was fully scalable for future enhancements. XML was used as the format for all information exchange between application modules to ensure standards based implementation that was compatible with any future standards based implementation. There was an external integration required for "Live Person Chat" which allows the site visitors to communicate using chat with the support personnel for their queries. It was have some html tags given by the "LivePerson.Com" which needs to be integrated with the proposed website in order to implement this feature. The website was developed considering for future enhancements, which might be flexible without affecting the current version. The other was a of integration was for processing of online payments using credit / debit cards or ACH transfer. Dundas Charting and Dundas Gauge can be used as a third party utility for charting and KPI measurement with dashboard and scorecards. These costs was not included in this proposal and client has to provide these third party utility if required at his cost. Click here to submit your project requirements to Option Matrix, India.
