  • OpenCS: the 100% Internet workflow

Paris, November 9, 2006 – The Business Process Management has now become a Babel tower with two faces: on one side a black box that allows the communication between different systems and on the other, a human workflow management platform. If a first time editors brought a solution to the interactions between systems, these exchanges only represent 15% of the BPM according to Jim Sinur, a Gartner analyst.

In order to answer to the remaining 85%, OpenCS launches today its new 100% web workflow platform. Simply accessible through the web, without any downloading, it coordinates and fluxes the work of multi-located collaborators. A new module: CompoCS ™ allows composing directly online a collaborative folder. As the “paper” folder, the collaborative folder allows circulating, validating, noting all kind of information. It contains structured data, attached documents, messages, sub-folders… and guarantees through its record a complete tracking of the developed actions. When a folder is created online, the project manager defines also the working process. With a simple click, he defines the role of each intervenient, their access or modification rights and the route that the project will use as it is developed. Because of its 100% Internet approach, OpenCS fluxes the decision making and working processes to turn them more operational. The handlings requiring several validations or signatures are therefore simplified: follow-up of off-shore providers’ contracts, collaborative management of materials, signalling and reporting of “quality” incidents, citizens and civil service relationship management… The platform has been conceived to evolve easily due to changes and successive versions essential to human workflows and to human organization in constant adaptation.
OpenCS: a 2.0 workflow architecture OpenCS has been rooted in Java and the Internet since 1998 and is today THE workflow 2.0. It’s time for online “composition” and to execution of collaborative web applications. Respecting its original modular conception and based on standards, the OpenCS platform is “100% XML” and can be executed within a J2EE environment. The Ajax interface and the use of vectorial technologies without plugin (SVG) guarantee user-friendliness and performance to users.

About OpenCS

Born from the Internet, OpenCS can’t keep from innovating in order to offer to its clients powerful technologies and methodologies. Within 5 years of existence, OpenCS won prestigious references (Ministry of National Education, Conseil General and Préfecture of the Indre region, the VCP/LVMH, City council of Paris, CDC) and large integrators use its technology (Unilog, IBM…). Historically rooted in the Internet culture, OpenCS places itself naturally at the heart of the Internet 2.0. Created in 2001 by Patrick Bedigis, OpenCS has been developing since 2003 in the Paris Cyber Village seedbed in an innovating business community. It has benefited from the active support of Sicentipôle Initiatives (that later became one of its clients). A first fundraising, that happened in late 2005, gathered IDF Développement and Oseo within the OpenCS social capital. Its last research and development program, “smart token”, has just been certified by the CapDigital competitiveness hub. Patrick Bedigis is the treasurer of Silicon Sentier and at this title, very implicated, in the thinking of new uses within our capital city.
