4 ADF KickStart Architecture Neos ADF KickStart takes a unique approach to development. It employs a methodology that relies on an array of reusable functionalities that are straightforwardly controlled via a unified dashboard with an easyto-use GUI. Neos ADF KickStart is an ideal tool for any company doing rapid business application development or enhancing existing systems with contemporary technology platforms. It is used by both specialized software development companies, and larger enterprises that develop inhouse solutions in order to improve their internal business processes, communication or interaction with clients. 4

5 Productivity 5 Neos ADF KickStart is useful for anyone developing their applications on Oracle Forms platform, as it eliminates certain limitations of the said technology. It is an on-premises solution based on Oracle Weblogic Server that is also available as a cloud service. Access via cloud platform reduces the time needed for initial training, as users are not required to have extensive knowledge or prior experience with ADF in order to be able to successfully develop their own applications. Neos ADF KickStart unique productivity benefits are reflected in: pre-defined and standardized modules; centralized administration and monitoring of deployed applications; 24/7 support; comprehensive documentation; full access to training content and related services.

6 Development Approach Neos ADF KickStart relies on meta-data holding all parameters and information used by applications built upon the framework. One of unique features of ADF KickStart is segmentation of requests, i.e. a clear separation between functional and non-functional requests that are issued during application development. This significantly improves performance of programmers, guiding them to solve business challenges quickly and efficiently. Every application built using Neos ADF KickStart can be connected with a service. Those can be micro-services running within a company s IT system or any other Internet service, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or any other. Needless to say, connections are established in accordance with standing security rules and regulations. An example of advanced development approach when Neos ADF KickStart is used in setting password application rules, a programmer is able to specify the lifetime of a password, its minimal length, a number of times it can be repeated, a timeframe within which a user is to be notified about pending password change, etc. 6

7 Dashboard 7 Administrative dashboard is used to perform administrative tasks in Neos ADF KickStart. It provides full control over all applications and functionalities within applications. By using the dashboard, the administrator is able to define the structure of the application, generate parameters, create users, specify their roles, etc. After defining the initial application in this fashion, any new application built using Neos ADF KickStart includes this original parameters and information library, in addition to a local library containing specific application data. All applications are protected by the security provider that adheres to all JAAS and OPS standards and provides additional protection over LDAP or Kerberos protocols. In other words, anything that proves valuable during application development is easily converted into a library that can be reused in development of another application for the same or a different user. Functionalities are split into functional units modules controlled via an intuitive GUI. This greatly simplifies application development and administration. KICKSTART NOW

SMS This functionality defines parameters regarding handling of SMS messages, i.e. receiving and sending (including bulk operations). It also supports interactive SMS messages (such as those used to check bank account balances). The functionality complies with industry standards and is usable through RS232/USB interfaces. SCHEDULER Scheduler generates reports based on set procedures. It provides facilities for creation of said procedures and definition of parameters for all processes within the application (definition, execution, management and deletion). LOG & AUDIT This functionality tracks user actions within the application, both at system and user level. It provides details about current operational parameters of each module, and enables administrators to easily browse and search through access logs and data entered into the system. SOCIAL NETWORK CONNECTORS Social network connectors enable integration with all leading social networks and platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, FourSquare, etc. They enable application access through single sign-on via Facebook, provide means for integration with CRM systems, as well as making use of advanced analytics and text analysis systems. 10
