History

In January 2012, it became known that the structure of management of ECM practice (enterprise content management, storage of corporate information, including electronic document management, EDMS) was seriously changed in the IT Co. group.

In December 2011, a 100% subsidiary of the management company of the Business Logic 2.0 group appeared, which, in addition to implementing ECM, will be engaged in a new direction for the group - business process management (BPM) systems.

Up to this point, the practice of ECM was represented by the long-existing developer of the EDMS "Boss-Referent" and created in April 2011 by IT Information Management, which implements similar software. Before creating " Information management»As a separate company, the implementation was presented by the integrator's department.

Direction is important to the group. As the chairman of the board of directors of IT Co. Tagir Yapparov tells CNews, over the past year the share of ECM practice accounted for about 500 million rubles. proceeds. With the total income for 2010 according to the rating "CNews100: The largest IT companies in Russia" 4.7 billion rubles. As for the number of employees, according to the new general director of "Business Logic" and "Boss-Referent" Maria Kamennova, now there are about 230 people working in the direction, of which about 180 employees are in implementation. As of the end of 2010, according to the CNews rating, a total of 1,550 people worked in the IT group.

Before the arrival of the Kamennova Company, they were subordinate to to different people... Implementing company - Georgy Podbutskiy, who remained in Business Logic as Deputy Director in charge of ECM. The developers were led by Andrey Grib, who is now leaving IT Co.. Yapparov associates his departure with the fact that "not all managers have integrated into the new matrix structure, which provides for greater delegation of responsibility."

Legally, "Boss-Referent" remained independent of the "Business Logic" organization, which is also fully owned by the group's management company, says Yapparov. However, a CNews source in the group is sure that we are talking about the complete reassignment of the EDMS development to the implementers. “The matter was not limited to the departure of Grib; people from the implementing company also came to other leadership positions in Boss-Referent,” he says. - Normal business internal competition between structures has existed for a long time, and mutual accusations of failures were also heard. Over the past few years, several directors have changed in the implementation. Now the "Boss-assistant" has become completely dependent on the implementers. "

Despite the shake-up of the direction, Tagir Yapparov intends to double the revenue from his work annually, i.e. already this year it should reach a billion rubles. An agreement was signed today between Business Logic and German BPM developer Metasonic. Plans to support the multi-platform "Boss-Referent" remain: Lotus, Microsoft Sharepoint, FileNet, JBOSS, mobile versions for iOS and Android. According to the anonymous interlocutor of CNews, during the reorganization a number of programmers left the company and to implement these plans they will have to hire new ones. Recently, IT Co. announced an internship in ECM.

The BOSS-Referent management documentation system is a software package that allows organizations to create effective electronic document management and office automation systems and thereby significantly increase the efficiency of management structures. In particular, the creation of such systems in an organization allows:

  • Increase the speed of decision making and their quality
  • Strengthen control of performance discipline
  • Improve the manageability of the organization
  • Increase the productivity of individual employees, work groups, and the organization as a whole.

    The BOSS-Referent system has big number implementations and is intended for enterprises of various sizes and forms of ownership:

    • Large commercial enterprises and holdings
    • Federal authorities
    • Regional government bodies and other state-owned enterprises
    • Geographically distributed enterprises
    • Companies with complex organizational structures
    • Companies with a large volume of workflow
    • Small, rapidly growing companies.
    The functionality of the BOSS-Referent system can be used by both managers and heads of departments, IT specialists, clerks, executors, secretaries and other employees of enterprises, thanks to a wide range of automated business processes:
    • Working with internal documents of the organization
    • Processing of incoming and outgoing documents
    • External contacts management
    • Working with organization contracts
    • Organization of news channels and conferences
    • Keeping a directory of the organization in electronic form
    • Support for engineering support of economic facilities of the organization
    • Organization and planning of events.
    The electronic document management system, built on the basis of the BOSS-Referent management documentation system, can be conventionally represented as a set of several layers.
    • Hardware: servers, client workstations, local area networks, modems, printers, scanners, uninterruptible power supplies and other technical means.
    • Operating system: network operating system Windows system, Linux, other and transport protocols that combine all hardware into a single complex.
    • Lotus Notes / Domino is an application software platform that is an add-on over a network operating system and includes tools for storing documents, replicating (synchronizing) data, full-text search, Email and other important mechanisms.
    • BOSS-Referent - applied interconnected software modules operating in the Lotus Notes / Domino environment and supporting business processes of management and, in part, functional document flow.
    • Organizational and regulatory support: regulations, work rules, instructions for users and system administrators, etc.
    The BOSS-Referent includes a set of interconnected subsystems designed to create an electronic document management system and office automation:
    • System-wide dictionaries
      • Organization directory
      • Dictionaries
      • External addressees
    • System-wide services
      • Harmonization
      • Assignments
      • Switch
      • Templates

      • The documents
      • Office notes
      • External contacts
      • Control of contracts
      • Engineering support
      • Conferences
      • news
    A well-built system architecture, which is based on openness and modularity, makes a great contribution to the convenience and speed of BOSS-Referent implementation.
    Modularity is provided by the specialized "Switch" database, which serves as the "Control Center" for the entire BOSS-Referent SDOU. This independent, functionally complete module contains information about the current system configuration and the necessary program code for organizing interaction between databases. All databases are automatically registered in the switch during installation.
    Second important function, performed by the DB Switch, is the configuration of user workstations. A configuration is a set of system databases registered in a separate switch and necessary for the operation of users from different divisions of the company. Deploying the EDMS in several configurations allows each employee to work only with their own databases. An unlimited number of configurations can be created using the switch varying degrees complexity, completely repeating the existing workflow scheme at the enterprise. The switch quickly connects any additional modules to the system, and also navigates through the databases.
    BOSS-Referent is open to developers. Any BOSS-Referent database can be changed by the customer's developers. In addition, a proprietary database can be added to the SDOU BOSS-Referent, subject to certain rules and agreements.
    New databases, forms, views, agents, design elements can be created in the system by standard means development of Lotus Domino Designer. In addition to the built-in development tools, IT Co. provides the customer with a special developer toolkit - Toolkit, which allows you to quickly create your own databases and integrate them with BOSS-Referent without violating the integrity of the system, as well as to change any module of its information environment.

    You can read more about all the changes in version 2.56.1 here.

  • This system was developed by IT Co. (http://www.it.ru). Belongs to the category of systems focused on supporting the management of an organization, effective work employees and for the accumulation of knowledge, and at the same time has developed additional services.

    The main application is the creation of a corporate system that covers the activities of employees at their workplaces and supports management business processes.

    Additional features

    Report generator "sMan

    The Report "sMan" report generator for Lotus Notes (developed by Aplana) provides the preparation of complex reports for users of any Lotus Notes applications and, in particular, for users of the BOSS-Referent electronic document management system.

    Report "sMan can be connected to any Lotus Notes databases of any design. It works with arbitrary parameters when generating reports and performs automatic processing of macros. The report generator allows you to store sample reports for later reuse, as well as export reports to MS Excel, MS Word, HTML and PlainText.

    For potential partners and users of the Report "sMan program, Aplana provides an opportunity to work with it in a test mode for one month.

    Scanning and text recognition systems

    The BOSS-Referent system is integrated with the ABBYY FineReader (version 4.0 or SE 7.0) and CuneiForm (version 10 and higher) scanning and text recognition systems. Integration allows organizing quick automatic conversion of documents from paper to electronic form and their convenient input into the system.

    BOSS-Referent offers three options for using scanning tools in electronic document management and office automation systems:

    • - Using a desktop scanner to organize custom scans. Recommended for organizations with a small volume of incoming documents
    • - Using network scanners for workgroups
    • - Use of a streaming line of scanning, providing fast automatic conversion of documents into electronic form in a continuous stream mode. Such scanning is performed using barcode technology and is recommended for use in organizations with a large volume of incoming correspondence, with a geographically distributed structure of the administrative apparatus, in the central offices of ministries and departments.

    Fax Server Extra Fax

    Integration of the BOSS-Referent system with the ExtraFax fax server (by Extracomm Technologies Inc.) provides the ability to send and receive faxes and e-mail, route incoming messages, calculate traffic costs using the built-in billing system, as well as perform many useful functions on working with faxes.

    Users can work with the ExtraFax server through a standard Lotus Notes client, any web browser, or print documents to fax from any Windows application using the ExtraFax Print-to-Fax driver.

    Client site settings, which can be done through the standard Notes client and over the Internet, allow you to select fax headers and send messages on a schedule and priority basis. When printing documents from Windows applications, address books stored on the Domino server can be used to select a destination.

    Very convenient for users: a single mechanism for sending faxes and e-mail, the ability to send documents from the Windows environment to fax with one click of the right mouse button, as well as automatically sent notifications about the results of sending faxes. You can organize group work with faxes by routing incoming messages, setting up individual and collective fax headers and a built-in billing system. The program provides an opportunity to differentiate access rights with faxes - to work with faxes (create, read, delete, forward, etc.) and to send faxes over long distance or international lines.

    System composition

    The electronic document management system, built on the basis of the BOSS-Referent, can be conditionally represented as a combination of several layers:

    • - "hardware" (servers, client workstations, networks, etc.) and a platform (network operating system Windows / Linux / Sun and transport protocols), which unites all hardware into a single complex
    • - IBM Lotus technology - a technological platform that is an "add-on" over a network operating system
    • - the BOSS-Referent system, which is a Lotus Domino application consisting of nsf databases.

    Technological features

    1. Support for the work of geographically distributed organizations

    The system architecture allows deploying the system on several independent structures of Lotus servers and, in particular, organizing work on the most complex configuration of Lotus Domino R6.5X servers - in a "two-level star" topology. Two radial servers belonging to one parent server and "seeing" it can exchange information packets directly.

    2. Support for real distribution

    A distinctive feature of the system is to support the procedures for management document flow and office work in geographically distributed organizations.

    • - The system automatically sends: a) to all participants in the approval process a copy of the draft document to be agreed, b) to the person responsible for the preparation of the document (decision-making) visas and comments of the participants in the approval, additional documents.
    • - After completion of the approval, the system updates the status of the document and informs all participants in the approval process.
    • - The stage of acquaintance ends with the automatic sending of the document (and all its copies) to the archive databases.

    At any time, all employees working on a draft document have its current copies, have information about the status of the document, and can also view information related to the issue - comments, instructions, etc. formed during the approval process.

    3. Efficiency and reliability of data transmission

    When transmitting data in a distributed structure, fundamentally new mechanisms for the interaction of system configurations installed on different territories (servers) are used. In BOSS-Referent v.3, the replication mechanism is used only for synchronizing reference and dictionary data. To transfer functional data, often forming bundles of documents (we are talking about a set of files, instructions, visas for approval, familiarization, etc., related to a specific document card), the mechanism of direct data transfer via a socket connection in an XML package is used.

    This mechanism, which underlies the processes of approval and familiarization of documents in a distributed environment, provides: 1) guaranteed and economical delivery (only to the required servers) of bundles of documents to all participants in the work on the document, 2) reducing the load on data transmission channels, and 3) significant simplification system administration: there is no need to perform complex settings of server access rights and replication parameters.

    4. Support for complex organizational structures

    The system supports well-thought-out mechanisms for combining positions, delegation of authority and substitutions. The mechanism for combining positions is key for using the EDMS in organizations where, in addition to functional divisions, there are project formations. For each employee, a list of roles for document processing is set (approver, coordinator, etc.), while the user can have different roles in the functional unit where he works and projects in which he participates. By processing a specific document, the user receives and processes documents in accordance with his role in the department, which is indicated in the document.

    5. Working with versions and revisions of documents

    Document cards and attachments are stored in separate databases. This made it possible to implement a mechanism for working with versions and revisions of documents, which is widely used at the stages of agreement, signing and approval of documents.

    6. System flexibility

    The system's tools, including the workflow mechanism, allow you to quickly modify existing schemes for the passage of documents, as well as quickly implement workflow for new business processes related to document processing. With the help of building blocks of the system, you can quickly implement, for example, the processing of documents necessary for deciding on the advisability of holding promotions, allocating a loan (in banks), etc.

    7. Fault tolerance

    BOSS-Referent supports work in the Domino software cluster, which consists of two servers - the main one and the backup one. In case of failure of the main server on which users work, they are automatically switched to the backup server (when the databases are reopened). When the primary server is restored, the administrator handles the user switch back.

    8. Performance

    High performance of the system in a situation of dynamic growth of data volumes is provided by an archiving mechanism that transfers a document to the archive on the server where it was created, while automatically saving an archive copy on other servers. High productivity is also achieved due to the separate storage of "light" document cards and attached files, as well as access to the latest software tools.

    9. Web access

    For organizations that do not use Lotus as a corporate standard, an alternative way of accessing the functionality of the system is proposed - by means Internet browser Explorer version 5 and higher. These organizations will need to purchase Lotus Notes CALs only for installation on the system administrator workstations.

    10. Convenience of administration

    The Lotus Domino / Notes platform allows you to simultaneously refine the system and replicate it to the subsidiary structures of the organization. There are mechanisms that allow you to update the system in all offices of a geographically distributed organization overnight. To facilitate the work on maintaining lists of employees, the system has been integrated with LDAP directories.
