Architectural Advantages

Kalido products provide a number of key architectural
advantages …

  • A model-driven approach
    • Your solution is defined in terms of a business model that directly reflects your users’ requirements in a language the business understands
    • The business model acts both as the medium for communication with your business users and as the mechanism used by the product to directly configure the software and the underlying database – without coding
    • As the business and applications evolve, so does the business model – with the changes to the business model reflected directly into your solution, and without invalidating existing data
  • A generic approach – subject neutral
    • The products operate consistently across all your data, not just specific application domains – your solution can grow without artificial barriers and across all areas of your business, whatever your business
    • Common facilities – security, audit trailing, workflow management, loading, error logging – automatically enabled across all your data, consistently and without additional effort
  • An iterative approach to projects
    • Sketch out an area of the business model with your users
    • Rapidly implement/prototype with real data
    • Review the outcomes with your users, update the business model and go round the loop again until everyone is happy
    • Test and deploy the agreed solution – be it a new solution, an upgrade to an existing solution or bringing a new business or part of a business
    • Reduces risk, whilst also reducing development time and effort
  • An adaptive approach – engineered to expect change
    • In the business organization
    • In the business requirements
    • In the business model
    • In all you data
    • Propagated to your BI tools
  • But with memory
    • Analyze your business across the changes
    • History tracked and maintained
    • A full and consistent record of the way that things were for audit and compliance purposes
  • And running on standard relational database management systems and servers
    • Kalido leverages your existing investment in database technology, running on Oracle, SQL Server and IBM DB2
    • There’s no need to invest in proprietary hardware or database software to deliver a robust solution that scales, keeps pace with change, keeps track of history, and provides a bullet-proof audit trail
