Looking for an open
business process solution for your organisation? Want tailor made software but you don’t want to spend custom solution time and money? Do the words faster, better, cheaper mean anything to you? The answer? UBizz |
UBizz Engine |
---|
UBizz is a client/server based open infrastructure using proven technology to run on many hardware platforms and work with any standard relational database system. The robust UBizz Engine optimally supports your business activities. Using revolutionary techniques it is now possible to create a high quality custom solution in no time. The resulting system will exactly reflect your business processes. UBizz users have their own workplace that can easily be customised to reflect theirr role in the organisation by regulating information access and activities, including workflow. The key concept in the UBizz Engine solution is the “Business Model”. A Business Model is a detailed description of your organisation and business processes as defined by standard Object Oriented Analysis and Design methods. The UBizz Engine is able to directly translate a Business Model into a working Business Information System. No software programming, no technical plumbing. The UBizz Engine takes care of all that. |
Open |
UBizz runs on the hardware platforms of leading
international vendors and works with any standard relational database
system. Open means that the system allows interoperability with third-party solutions and services. One could think of interaction with company ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Baan, …), in-house applications or external information systems. |
Integrated Solution |
UBizz is an integrated solution for your organisation. No matter which business processes you need to support. Your UBizz is modelled on your business processes, integrating your business processes into a workflow of business events and processes throughout your organisation. |
Flexible |
UBizz is flexible to changes and progress in your organisation. Your UBizz can at any point be expanded and adjusted without interfering with the running system. Changes can be made to your Business Model. The updated Business Model is fed to the UBizz Engine, and your updated system will be up and running. |
The UBizz implementation project |
Phase 1 Gathering Information |
This is the preliminary phase where the project scope is determined. The following information will be gathered:
|
Phase 2 Creating your Business Model |
Business Experts and Business Modellers will work together to create your Business Model. This comes down to analysing and describing the Business Processes and Business Rules in your organisation. Object Oriented Analysis and Design methods supported by UBizz modelling tools are used to produce the final Business Model. The Business Model will contain entry points to add specific Business Rules (calculations on performing actions, checking information, interfacing to other systems, …). Business Rules are implemented using Object Oriented techniques. At every stage in the modelling and design process the (intermediate and incomplete) Business Model is ready to be fed to the UBizz Engine. This makes it possible to continuously monitor the progress of the project and to validate at any time the correctness of the Business Model. From the moment the first Business Object has been defined, a working Business Information System exists. |
Phase 3 Roll-out |
The roll-out phase adresses the following subjects:

Creating the Business Model: Object Oriented Analysis & DesignThe Business Model will consist of static and dynamic descriptions. The Static Object Model contains Business Objects as you will encounter in real life:
The
Dynamic or State Diagram will describe the States a certain Business
Object can be in.
To
move from state to state, a transition has to take place. ![]()
These diagrams
will be stored using the UBizz Modelling tools, which will produce the
Business Model as can be fed to the UBizz Engine. |
