As experts in data warehousing and analytics we are increasingly faced with requirements where our customers need very advanced “dashboarding”. Their requirement may include the ability to execute transactional activities such as creating a Purchase Order, triggering a data process in a back-end system or providing “always on” multimedia streaming and broadcasting at a large scale and this across multiple devices (Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, etc). These are features that the traditional analytics solutions we typically deploy cannot provide. What is required in these cases is a fully integrated enterprise application which calls for a completely different approach.
Leveraging the Clariba act·in | frameworks for faster time-to-market
When our customers started demanding fast dashboards with hundreds of screens, stunning visuals, data input and multimedia capabilities, multi-platform and multi-device support we decided to create a framework that could leverage all these requirements while maximizing the ROI of our SAP solution expertise, experience and references.
With our Clariba act·in | frameworks, we are able to provide our customers with pre-configured components that allow us to design custom end-to-end solutions for the acquisition, integration, processing and analysis of data from a broad range of sources, leveraging SAP Cloud Platform technology, as well as, other platform solution components from AWS and Azure.
The main components of our architecture template are reflected in our proprietary act·in | frameworks:
Frontend: A cross platform frontend with Clariba developed modules that we base on the leading development framework IONIC allowing us to provide our customers with one single code base, while being able to deploy the solution across different device types and platforms.
Middleware: Our application layer based on Node.js enables complex application logic, access security, etc. It also provides an additional security tier to our data tier and provides the required performance for our applications as we use a serverless environment with hyper scalers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
act·in | flexi data models
Database: By using the SAP Cloud Platform in-memory database HANA services, we provide the most flexible, scalable and high-performance response times for our applications. Our flexible data models are optimized for SAP HANA and have been developed to adapt to complex requirements for any type of application.
act·in | connectors
Integration: Our out-of-the-box integration to a variety of market leading enterprise solutions including SAP ECC, SAP S4/HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle ERP, Oracle CC&B, AWS S3 and other industry-specific solutions leverage our in-house existing knowledge of interface protocols and ETL best practices framework.
Thanks to this solution architecture we are able to provide our customers with the following benefits:
High performance applications with best possible latency in a scalable, serverless environment through leading cloud providers
One time development portable to any mobile or desktop platform
The ability to implement practically any business scenario through an application
Large applications can run at no performance payload. We have deployed applications with 170+ screens with no negative impact on performance.
