There are, perhaps, hundreds of electronic document management systems of various calibers. Therefore, we, Cognitive Technologies, did not begin to reinvent the wheel with square wheels, but summarized our experience in automating workflow and business processes in our new product, which was called E1 Euphrates. E1 is historically the heir to the already well-known EVFRAT-Document management system, which differed from similar solutions on the market in that it used an industrial object-oriented DBMS NIKA (also developed by Cognitive Technologies). The realities of the market are such that it was decided to base the new system on MS and Oracle solutions popular in the corporate sector. But in order not to become attached to the products of a certain vendor, we developed the Cognitive Nexus platform - a document-oriented layer between the information system and the DBMS, which gives certain advantages to our system, including complete independence from the database used. In addition, the graphical interface was completely redesigned (sore spot of almost all corporate systems) - thanks to Usethics.
In our next posts we will describe in detail what the salt of our product is, what advanced technical solutions were used to create it, and what developers and users might be interested in.
