Industry Solutions : Faith-Based Organizations : Features and Benefits : Aptify TechnologyThe Aptify Technology Platform provides a powerful component software framework designed to meet the changing and demanding needs of today’s businesses. Aptify’s focus is on extensible, scalable, and flexible solutions built on a component technology platform to enable these applications to help organizations meet their constantly changing needs. Aptify is an industry leader in component technologies and has well over a decade of history leading the industry in technology innovation.
Aptify takes advantage of industry leading technologies such as Microsoft’s .NET framework, ASP.NET and SQL Server. Combining industry leading technology infrastructure with the flexibility of the Aptify platform results in extensible, scalable and rich functional capabilities. Aptify provides extensibility at all layers of the system — the database, business logic and presentation layers.
The Aptify architecture allows comprehensive configuration to be applied to every business application built on the platform while maintaining compatibility with future versions of Aptify. This assurance enables organizations to tailor the software to their specific needs without destroying their upgrade path. Aptify users gain the unique advantage of controlling the application infrastructure to adapt technology for their specific needs, while assuring their systems continue to evolve and upgrade alongside their business requirements.

Aptify Technology Advantages
- Aptify allows for a choice of user experiences — a rich Windows environment and a Web Access solution are both available! Don’t take away the richness of the Windows environment that power users require--Aptify can provide a full Windows user interface as well as access to the same information and many of the same functions through a powerful web interface.
- User-Level Personalization — Provide each department and user with information and functionality that meets their requirements most effectively.
- Graphical tools streamline the process of installation and configuration. Most configurations can be accomplished by simply configuring the Aptify environment through a set of graphical tools!
- XML/SOAP Web Services support can be established for every business object in the application suite as well as for configured applications. All Aptify business objects have the native capacity to serialize as XML and can interact with XML web services seamlessly and in a secure manner.
- SDK/API Documentation — The Aptify platform includes comprehensive documentation that developers can use to leverage and extend the core platform for advanced functionality beyond meta-data configuration while still staying within the upgrade path.
- Automatic Software Distribution — All software components that are changed in a centralized server environment are automatically distributed, on-demand, to all nodes on the network, eliminating distribution costs normally associated with installing and upgrading enterprise software.
Key Capabilities
One of Aptify’s key goals is to provide software that is flexible enough to meet the evolving needs of an organization’s unique business requirements. In keeping with this approach, Aptify has led the industry with groundbreaking innovations that allow organizations to leverage technology to evolve their business needs. Some of the key components of the Aptify Technology Platform are described in the following:
- Aptify Process Pipeline — Easily extend or modify the business rules of any Aptify application using an intuitive “flow chart” interface to meet your unique business needs. Aptify’s Process Pipeline is a unique technology that will provide the tools necessary to define, create, and incorporate powerful business rules directly into any Aptify application easily and cost effectively. Once defined, a business rule can be used from anywhere in the system, including from Aptify’s scheduling tools for automated recurring execution.
- Business Process Automation and Workflow — Aptify’s rich business rule and workflow uses the Process Pipeline editing environment and provides the capability for an analyst to quickly establish new business rules and workflow conditions in the system without writing any code! Furthermore, these powerful meta-data configurations are upgradeable from version to version.
- Digital Dashboard — Dashboards allows users to personalize the content and appearance of their Aptify desktop and bring rich, active content to each user that is specifically geared to their needs. Productivity is maximized by personalizing the information presented to each user and adapting it to their job functions and preferences. Aptify Dashboards allow administrators and users to define the appearance of the desktop, including displaying real-time information from any Aptify application, third party system, as well as from any web content source.
- Form Templates — Each user in an organization generally has a specific focus in their use of any business application. Aptify recognized this when developing its Form Template technology which allows each department and each user to have unique layouts and displays for each database form. This technology provides personalization that increases productivity since each user in the organization sees the information that is most relevant to their job functions. In addition, the Form Template technology dramatically reduces the time and effort required of administrators to modify forms for the users using an intuitive graphical interface for administration.
- Replication — Replication allows you to: Maintain Multiple database servers for scalability and redundancy.
Utilize the application in “disconnected” or “offline” mode when network access is not available. Manage off-site functions such as event registration/logistics without network connectivity. Automatically synchronize data changes including powerful conflict management
- Job/Task Scheduler — The Aptify Job Scheduler allows any business process to be setup for automatic execution at any time and with any recurrence that an administrator specifies. This feature can be used to automate many recurring functions such as running and distributing frequently used reports, so that users can focus more on their job and less on remembering to run recurring functions.
- Comprehensive System Security — Aptify is proud of
having an extremely secure enterprise application architecture. Aptify applications are secured at the database layer, the business logic layer, and at the presentation layer. This approach allows for unparalleled access to the database by users, but completely locks users down from accessing information they are not authorized for. The Aptify security technology includes highly granular security control including field level security, row-set security, and rules based authorization technology. Aptify provides a robust and extensible security model that extends to all of your e-Business applications automatically.
