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.

ECM Satellite

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.

File:Aquote1.png
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.

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.

ECM Satellite

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.

File:Aquote1.png
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"

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.

Main window of Sputnik EDMS

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. "ESM Satellite" supports operation in one installation of an unlimited number of legal entities, branches with the possibility of centralized or distributed administration and organization of own (isolated) circuits. document flow

The Sputnik ESM platform allows you to solve the problems of storing and managing content in organizations of various fields of activity. On the basis of the Sputnik ESM platform, the following can be implemented: electronic document management systems (EDMS), technical documentation storage systems (SHTD), personnel document management systems (CDS), legally significant electronic document management systems (UWEDO), electronic archive (EA), unified document storage, according to Korus Consulting.

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 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'.
