Issues End-to-End - Way to Go
Issues:
Looking at any software system regardless of the technologies used, the front
end is the interface with the users which has what we call normal data that the
users understand. The backend or the storage of data can be in a format that only
the data storage vendors and the software understand. The backend data are known
as de-normalized. Data moving in any direction may go through several phases,
technologies, format, systems (legacy or windows, ...), but data must arrive at
one end or another. The data traveling speed and format may have issues due to
the number of hands-software-hardware handling and not to mention
security-encryption-decryption also.
Answer:
Our answer to such issues is the standardization of records which is called Data
Access Object (DAO). Each DAO would represent one standardized record type (person,
item, product, ads, links, data, ... etc) based on the business type. Both ends
would be storing the same DAO. This would eliminate normalization and de-normalization
and speed the conversion. Only certain DAO would need security-encryption-decryption
and not all the DAOs and that would save effort, time and cost.
Intelligent DAO:
DAO can be a dummy storage object or we would add functionalities and intelligence
to DAO. Therefore, DAO would contain the data and the processes needed to make it
useful and intelligent (self aware and correct errors).
Format and Speed:
How would DAO would stored in SQL databases as fields of tables?
Our answer is to group DAOs and convert them into XML file using web services and
store the entire group as XML field of the type Character Large Object (CLOB). We
need to create database services to services such XML fields. One database record
of DAO read-fetch will have all the DOA objects ready in memory to be used by the
developers code. The simplicity and the saving in term of time, effort and usage
can only be imagined.
Front End Templates:
Once the data or DAO is standardized with intelligence, then we can easily standardize
the font display or web pages using templates. These standardized front or templates
would not be imposed on the development team, but simply an added tools for architect
and developers to use or cut/paste from its code. The front templates with the help of
CRM services can be used for personalization, profiling and segmentation of web
pages, mobile apps and any existing or future technologies.
Business Intelligence:
CRM services and Dynamic Business Rules would be the main tools in operating Business
Intelligence. Making better and smarter business decisions faster with solutions would
be automated where the business rules and CRM analysis provide the decision makers and
CEO with an English-like Macro Decisions GUI interface. Their Macro Decisions would be
translated in real-time into running their company-business software similar to running
any software such as Microsoft word document. For more details see the Dynamic Business
Roles section.
