"Access Disk" allows you to download files, edit in third-party applications, provide access with delimitation of rights (editing, viewing, deleting), maintain versioning, create a hierarchical directory structure and sign files using electronic signature.

The updated version has redesigned the "Meetings" module, which allows you to organize meetings. Now all activities related to the organization, conduct and execution of the result of the meeting are presented in the form of a single end-to-end process. The standard route includes the following stages: formation and approval of the agenda, adjustment of the terms and composition of questions by the initiator, if necessary, confirmation of the composition of participants, registration, formation of a protocol with the possibility of editing by the contractor. Then the approval and signing of the protocol using an electronic signature, distribution to the participants of the past event, as well as the execution and control of orders. As each event is completed, interested participants will receive appropriate notifications.

The "Counterparties" module is now not just a reference book, the values ​ ​ of which can be used as part of working with contract documents, but a solution with a multi-stage approval and approval route. The counterparty card includes comprehensive information about the main and bank details, current status, contact persons associated with subsidiaries and affiliated organizations. It became possible to attach scans or electronic versions of constituent and other documents required for evaluating the counterparty.

The power of attorney card contains the main attributes, including the list of attorneys, terms, list of powers, etc. As the validity period of the power of attorney approaches, the statuses automatically change and notifications are sent.

The platform tusk tracker received the function of automatically calculating the rating of a request or task depending on the category of the client and/or partner, the planned labor intensity and the timing of implementation. This algorithm allowed the Avandok team, which uses its own product in its daily activities, to approach release planning differently and ensure their release with the most demanded functionality.

We continue to develop the system as a tool for a wide range of business tasks and will soon present a module - Avandok CRM. This will expand the boundaries of using the Avandok platform to organize end-to-end processes, including for building effective work with applications, services and interaction with customers and partners. told Pavel Perov, Product Director of Avandok

REST API for May 2021 includes over 50 methods and provides the entire set of necessary tools for working with the object model (authentication, session management, working with users and user groups, object rights, content and object management). This allows partners and customers to independently expand the functionality of the solution by their developers - for example, add business logic for processing documents or assigning rights, as well as create their own integration modules with external information systems without involving the vendor.

EMC Documentum (DFC - Documentum Foundation Classes) and other enterprise-class solutions have similar tools. Now they have become available in the Russian ESM platform, which is a big step forward for us. Sputnik Foundation Classes removes all restrictions for our partners in terms of customizing solutions for their customers, - notes Pavel Perov, head of Sputnik ESM, KORUS Consulting Group of Companies.

2020

Ability to create or modify business process components

On September 16, 2020, Korus Consulting Group of Companies announced the update of the ECM platform Sputnik ECM, where it presented a set of designers for automating the organization's business processes. Now users can independently create or modify business process components - directories, document cards and routes - and add them to the system as service packs, without rebooting the solution.

In this version of the Sputnik ESM platform, users can independently create simple (flat) and hierarchical directories, customize their display and rules for creating records.

You can customize the composition of document attributes, their type and placement on the card in the visual editor. The user independently configures the rules for filling attributes and their dependencies. With a large number of attributes, they can be placed in tabs for quick access.

To determine the document route, the user can use the already ready-made processes specified in the business rules engine (BRE platform module), or create his own stages of his life cycle: sequence, set of actions within each stage and conditions for moving along the route.

All objects available in the designer can be created using the inheritance mechanism (component reuse), which makes it easier to apply changes to business process elements.

Previously, similar settings were made in an XML editor. Now the user does not need to understand programming even at the low code level: the business process can be configured and added to the system by a user of the "consultant" level. If earlier it could take several days or even weeks to change the composition of the attributes or the life cycle of the process (taking into account the coordination of requirements and cost of work), now it will take a few minutes, since the process does not require the involvement of a developer.

The presented release is an important stage in the development of the'Sputnik ESM' platform. Now our customers will be able to independently develop their solutions. Moreover, they will be able to share their developments with each other by simply forming and sending a package with business processes to their colleagues, "says Alexander Axelrod, head of the document management practice at KORUS Consulting.

In the next release, already in 2021, KORUS Consulting Group plans to release a version with advanced platform API capabilities and a visual configurator of integration services, as well as add tools for visually customizing reports.

The ability to form a desktop and customize the appearance of the system using widgets

On July 21, 2020, KORUS Consulting Group of Companies released an update to the ECM platform Sputnik ECM, where it presented an updated concept for organizing a workspace. Now the user can independently form the desktop and customize the appearance of the system using widgets that allow you to quickly access the information of interest without going to the menu.

According to the company, in the updated version of the Sputnik ESM platform, the user can independently create his own workspace. You can display various widgets on the desktop: lists of documents formed by ready-made and individual filters, links for performing various operations or transitions to modules and sections of the system, information diagrams. If necessary, the user can configure multiple desktops. For example, you can set up a widget that displays information on task due dates in terms of task types, or the number of tasks for each type.

The user gets access to all the information of interest to him and does not spend time navigating the menu to perform the necessary operations. You can organize your desktop so that you have lists of the documents that you work with most often, and you can also customize their appearance. For example, for a registrar, these are tasks "for registration," for a manager, outgoing documents for approval and/or signature.

To configure the desktop, you can use visual designers or use a pre-formed library of available dashboards. The system administrator can configure interfaces for different categories of users and create ready-made profiles for different roles ("registrar," "manager," "regulatory controller," "lawyer," "clerk," etc.) that determine the set of widgets on the desktop, their appearance and settings. The profile can be assigned to a user by an administrator, and the user, if necessary, can adjust this profile according to his preferences.

We decided to release a separate unscheduled release. This concept of organizing a workspace changes the algorithm of the user's work in the system. Users can now customize their workspace themselves using visual designers and user interface profiles. This significantly reduces the time required to perform operations in the system. told Alexander Axelrod, Head of Document Management Practice "KORUS Consulting"

KORUS Consulting plans to release the next platform update in mid-fall 2020. The main task of the solution developers by the end of 2020 is to expand the line of visual design tools and customization of the workspace and business processes.

Red OS Compatibility

On December 16, 2019 RedSoft , he announced that in order to develop a technological partnership, together Corus Consulting with DM, they tested their products for compatibility. During the tests, the correctness of the electronic document management EDMS Sputnik system (manufactured by Korus DM Consulting) at (the Russian operating system RED OS manufactured by RED SOFT) was confirmed. Based on the results of the work, a bilateral compatibility certificate was signed.

The compatibility of Russian high-tech products is especially important for the implementation of the import substitution policy. Since it is the creation of complex domestic solutions that can provide it. The successful results of our testing will allow customers to gain tangible benefits from the use of Sputnik EDMS in the RED OS environment. commented Rustamov Rustam, Deputy General Director of RED SOFT

Updated UI implemented on native UI framework

On December 10, 2019, Korus Consulting announced the release of an updated version of the Sputnik ESM platform. As a result, the platform received a completely updated user interface implemented on its own UI framework. For each functional area, the user can choose to present information (for example, by task types, documents, due dates, etc.), as well as create and use personal filters.

According to the developer, the system has a full-fledged workspace designer, which allows you to create separate views for each functional zone in addition to a table view. The user can create a layout of the workspace, its colors, define font parameters (color, size, style), and select the displayed fields. Combined with content preview functions and the ability to perform tasks without opening an object card, the workspace designer allows you to create convenient interfaces for different groups of users: performers, clerks, managers, etc.

Process Configuration Engine

The updated platform component allows you to flexibly configure, test and execute processes without having to use programming. The Business Rule Engine helps you create process templates, combine them into directories, and form a template library. You can also create conditions for selecting a template and define the sequence in which processes are started. Users have access to process management tools such as creating/importing, starting, stopping, editing, deleting, and the ability to move the selected object to any life cycle state, including automatically creating the required tasks. The graphical mode of the route presentation allows the user to see not only the stage at which the object of interest is located, but also the final performers of both completed and not yet started processes, Korus Consulting emphasized.

Document Archive Module

To organize work with electronic documents subject to temporary or permanent storage, the platform implements the Archival Storage and Destruction module, which structures documents in accordance with the list of cases by year, organizations and departments. According to the developer's statement, the system will tell you which document arrays are to be transferred for temporary or permanent storage to the archive, or will allow organizing the storage of document data directly in the platform. Documents with expired storage periods will be separated into a separate category selected for destruction. The system implements tools for the formation of registers of documents, case lists and acts on allocation for destruction according to the established forms.

Also in 2019, platform performance testing was carried out. In accordance with the test program and methodology, a constant load created by 70 thousand users was simulated for 49 hours. The platform successfully coped with the task, showing high results in the response of the user interface.

According to the developer, the Sputnik ESM platform fully meets the policy import substitution and is implemented on. free software It supports modern server and client: from operating systems to, Windows Astra Linux compatible with and, DBMS Oracle PostgreSQL works in all modern. browsers ESM Satellite supports, including electronic signature qualified, and also scales to an unlimited number of users using hardening technologies.

Compatibility with Astra Linux and inclusion in the "Universal workplace of a civil servant"

On July 10, 2018, NPO RusBITech and Korus Consulting DM announced the completion of a joint project to create a multifunctional complex for working with electronic documents based on the domestic operating system Astra Linux and the Sputnik EDMS.

A number of compatibility tests were carried out on the software products of the complex not only with Astra Linux, but also with other software products register Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media included in and necessary for users for everyday work, after which the companies entered into a cooperation agreement and exchanged certificates of technological partnership.

Based on the positive results of testing and discussion of joint strategic projects, it was decided to include the Sputnik EDMS in the project to create a solution, which received the working name "Universal Workplace of a Civil Servant." It includes solutions such as the Astra Linux operating system, the My Office office suite, the Sputnik browser, products from InfoTeCS, CryptoPro, Kaspersky Lab, Infowatch and 1C.

This comprehensive solution can be applied in public authorities, municipalities, ministries and departments, state corporations. In short, in those units that, within the framework of the state import substitution program, comply with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 16, 2015 No. 1236 "On Establishing a Ban on the Admission of Software Originating from Foreign Countries for the Purpose of Procurement to Meet State and Municipal Needs."

Load testing

On June 25, 2018, KORUS Consulting Group announced the load testing of Sputnik EDMS in a configuration focused on implementations in large organizations with more than 100,000 users.

EDMS testing was performed with the following load profile:

The hardware and software complex included such components as:

All servers ran on software: CentOs 7, Apache Tomcat 8, PostgreSQL 10.2.

author '= Alexander Axelrod, Director of Document Management, KORUS Consulting GC The results of all the test cases are positive and exceeded our expectations by about half, and this suggests that Sputnik is running smoothly on high loads without any degradation of the performance and response time of the user interface. Separately, it should be noted that according to the results of load testing, we did not carry out any 'tuning' or refactoring of the platform, which, in turn, confirms the correctness of the architectural decisions taken during the design of the'Sputnik'.

The test results allow you to position the Sputnik platform as an Enterprise-class solution that can work with hundreds of millions of documents and with more than 100 thousand users.
