Optura Overview

No organizational structure is ever set in stone — nor should it be. Organizations need to adapt to ever changing market demands. In today’s enterprise, organizations are often regimented by function, location or line-of-work with entrenched information systems that reflect these structural boundaries. The inflexibility of established enterprise software systems can often be the biggest barrier to fine-tuning a dynamic organization. To be effective, information and communication must flow across organizational and structural barriers in order to support the business of businesses — transactions and service. Workers need to collaborate across functional and organizational boundaries and information needs to flow across disparate systems.

Most enterprises have legacy application solutions in place with existing silos or islands of data supporting finance, manufacturing, human resources, logistics and procurement. The value of this data can be significantly enhanced when made available for repackaging, filtering, combining, and dissemination to other individuals, departments or partners that comprise a business transaction or service cycle.

Enterprises focused on business process improvement are choosing to develop better business practices by implementing composite applications, rather than replacing existing systems at considerable expense and disruption to the organization. Enterprise systems remain in place with established input and output methods as well as access controls and maintenance mechanisms. Composite applications provide the means to improve legacy application processes and ERP systems by collecting data and combining work procedures and repurposing and disseminating content for a much broader set of users and operations.
