We’re a product company focused on delivering innovative solutions for Content Suite and Extended ECM
Our solutions are trusted globally by over 100 organizations from different industries and of various sizes
CSP = Content Server / Content Suite / Extended ECM
We’ve discussed and seen the technical and practical benefits of leveraging Module Suite .
From a business and investment perspective we identify for main values:
Creating easy-to-use, intuitive and tailored business solutions facilitates their own adoption as well as the adoption of CSP in general
A zero-footprint keeps things lean while an easy to learn toolset allows most technical users to become productive in just a matter of days
Thanks to low-coding delivering a solution or application takes a fraction of the time. And you can employ truly agile methodology.
All in all the Module Suite is about maximizing your EIM investment. In other words “doing more, with less effort and delivering awesome results” ----------------------------------------Before going into Q&A, I’d like to make 2 quick annoucnemtns
FORM:
Enhancing the standard form framework and adding a visual drag&drop form builder
Create very advanced forms that can be used to collect and process information in pretty much any scenario.
WORKFLOWS
We’re not adding a new WF engine, we’re enhancing the standard WF engine
Add automation and personalized steps in order to drive efficiency and productivity
INTEGRATIONS
Module Suite is used to facilitate the integration with other platforms and systems
Be those home-grown systems or productized platforms such as DocuSign and ZOOM
UI
As we’ll see today, Module Suite can bring several advantages when crafting tailored interfaces in both the Smart and Classic view
The objective is normally to provide the most productive experience possible to the the business users
To our knowledge, Module Suite is the only solution that allows you to add custom menu items in the SmartUI.
The idea behind this feature is quite straightforward…. to allow you to further tailor and further personalize the UI to you business’ specific needs.
Even thought it might seem like a fairly simple innovation, the impact this has is huge.
It allows you to open a host of new scenarios for what is essentially the main mechanism with which users interact with the system.
What are some possible use-cases for custom menu items?
Example:
we could select multiple Word documents in a folder and in one click merge them, add a cover page and apply a naming convention
Or we could select a document and start an approval process with one click
As always with Module Suite, the use-cases are extremely flexible, can have a wider range of complexity and are pretty much endless.
One of the primary characteristics of this new feature is that it employ the low-coding approach of Module Suite
Creating a custom menu item is a question of configuring a pre-packaged item.
We’ve also kept the ability to employ a fine-grained approach to permission. In other words access to custom commands can be managed even on the level of a single user.
The benefits of Custom Menu Items can be summed up in 3 key points:
automation at the service of productivity,
supporting tailored UIs for efficiency
employing an agile methodology….more on the next slide
What differentiates our solution is that is has an almost zero lead time from concept to deployment
The traditional approach would take knowledge on the SDK, development time and deployment time. All in all it could take between 1-5 days.
While with the Module Suite it can be done in a matter of minutes, by 1 person sitting along side the LOB and without any restarts
---------------------------------------
I’m sure you’re all quite eager to see the live demo of the Custom Menu items in Smart View…but bear with me just a couple of more minutes as I’d like to introduce the ZOOM integration that we’ll be showing as well
I’m sure that this item in the agenda caught your attention
It’s safe to assume that smart working and remote collaboration will become more and more prevalent.
For this reason we’ve implemented an integration between CSP and ZOOM.
For this initial development of the ZOOM integration, we've made it ready to use in the context of Connected Workspaces.
Why CWS? Simply put, by their nature these are the most relevant CSP objects for collaboration.
With a ZOOM integration we further enhance their collaborative aspects.
CWS can be thought of as both the catalyst for virtual meetings as well as the container for all the relevant pre/post meeting content
We see the ZOOM integration as just one piece of the puzzle in implementing a 100% digital process for the new way of working
This is an example of how 4 tools can be used seamlessly to discuss and finalize a contract 100% remotely.
Let’s say I need to discuss and offer or a contract with an external party
