RADS®: Technical Overview
6/29/2009 10:39 PM 
Our compliance platform has been built on top of Microsoft's Windows SharePoint Services.  This enables us to take advantage of best-of-breed enterprise scalable technology while providing our clients with familiar tools to further customize and enhance our platform.  In the same way Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 ("MOSS") has extended the core functionality of Windows SharePoint Services, we have also extended Windows SharePoint Services with over 20 additional data types including the ability to dynamically link to data stored elsewhere within the SharePoint system.

The Rapid Application Development System: RADS®

R-Squared developed RADS® as full-featured platform that promotes and evidences compliance best practices, which by today's standards means that the solution also must enhance business excellence and measurable operational performance gains. 

By simplifying the tasks and processes normally associated with burdensome compliance activities and providing real-time visibility on key performance indicators, RADS® not only has allowed our clients to recapture significant amounts of time previously spent on burdensome compliance activities and focus on business priorities, but it also has produced an immediate return on investment.

Compliance as a By-Product

Compliance risk is not something to be measured but minimized.  In order to help promote compliance and minimize these risks, RADS® provides a platform that is used by the business to improve business performance and provide compliance best practices as a by-product of everyday business activity.  In working with those individuals within a company responsible for compliance, R-Squared will ensure that you are able to present a solution that silences all critics.

Less complexity for users

RADS® has further simplified some of the complexity that can evolve around extending SharePoint by creating dynamic forms and conditional visibility rules for data entry.  This means that users only see what they need to see at any specific point in time.

This functionality coupled with rules-based workflows quickly leverages some of the core functionality of SharePoint to quickly deliver an application that can mimic and improve current business processes.

State of the art technology

Our RADS® platform leverages the latest advances in application development to deliver on next generation promises including:

Requirements generated code: Where application code is automatically generated from the requirements documents.

Online Data Structure Definition: Meta-data fields, Content Types and Lists can be modified with the application remaining online - with no down time.

End-user Customization: Permissions can be granted to users not just to modify data to be collected but also rules, form layouts and even custom views.

Enterprise Integration: Integrates with almost any enterprise system through custom-coded plug-ins or web-services, including financial systems, product management systems, and sales force automation systems including SAP.

Desktop Integration: Our plug-in architecture extends the core Microsoft capabilities to allow integration by running custom plug-ins to link with Unix, Mainframe and Windows-based systems.

In addition, we are, of course, able to leverage the many benefits of Microsoft SharePoint Technology including Multi-tier Architecture, Web Services, User Interface Trimming, Versioning and Full Audit Trails.
