Follow on Google News | Toplevel unshackles design and configuration with the Open Design Studio web toolkitOutreach becomes a complete web-based solution with the launch of Open Design Studio 2016 for digital transformation
By: Toplevel Outreach Design Studio 2016 has been developed as a fully web-enabled platform to solve two key issues: enabling non-technical staff to construct and build services and the need to liaise and collaborate with partners irrespective of their location. Up to 52 percent of organisations are concerned that their personnel lack the design capabilities to deliver positive end user experiences according to a recent Deloitte survey(*). The same survey also found that 74 percent of organisations choose to blend inhouse and contracted resource to develop digital services. These two key statistics indicate that there is a real need to reduce technical design requirements and to unshackle the user to facilitate collaborative working. Open Design Studio 2016 solves both these issues by providing a low-code virtual environment which is now available for the first time as a complete web-based solution. Open Design Studio is a visual drag-and-drop tool that empowers business transformation teams to create, design and update digital interactive services, and even add integrated case management screens for staff. Its low-code capability ensures that business objectives determine the nature of the build ensuring services are accessible, easy to use and fit for purpose. Open Design Studio 2016 sees the Process Modeller graphical BPM tool, the eForm Digitiser for the creation of digital services, the Case Workflow Designer and the Document Designer now join the Booking Designer and the Theme Designer as web-enabled tools to create a complete web-based tool-kit. Users can now design and configure business rules, workflows, document layouts, screen layouts, and other Outreach components over the web via Open Design Studio 2016 freeing them to work collaboratively, either fully or partially co-located. Key benefits include: · Zero installation costs – eliminates the need to install and maintain applications on the local user workstation by providing access via the web or a secure Cloud-based SaaS service. Delivery times can be cut by up to 50 percent compared to bespoke software deployments. · Ease of use – web-based graphical interface makes it simple to access and manipulate Outreach components. Non-programmers are empowered to make changes to the look and feel and can perform simple data configuration. Facilitates BYOD by enabling users to access Open Design Studio over any device. · Flexible working – enables the coordination, configuration and deployment of services with colleagues or third parties. Is the ideal solution for Agile projects when taken as a managed SaaS Cloud service as it enables close collaboration even if team members are in split locations. · Collaborative working for multi-disciplinary teams - empowers staff without programming skills to make changes to wordings, layouts and business logic and workflows according to their level of technical ability. Uses three tiers of access: Developers (unrestricted access to design features and code), Analysts (access to configurable logic and business rules) and Contributors (ability to edit text, visual styles and field placement only). · Web-based learning – access to a library of self-help e-tutorials enabling the user to rapidly assimilate and apply designs without the need for any codin.g capability Open Design Studio 2016 Alpha release 1 is in trial with Toplevel customers who will help influence the design and form of the final solution. These customers also have access to e-tutorials and provide feedback via the Alpha sandbox. Changes will be incorporated into a Beta version in common with the digitally led delivery process pioneered by GDS. Open Design Studio 2016 will become commercially available in Q2 2016. A digital solution built for Digital Government “Open Design Studio 2016 is evidence of our commitment to promoting open standards and reducing costs as it enables our customers to build and control services via the web, eliminating the need for local installation. Taking the Open Design Studio toolkit online means we are now able to offer Outreach as a complete web-based, purpose-built solution for UK government and public sector organisations. The web version still benefits from the same three tier role-based security access as the local and Cloud–based services and is proven for IL3/OFFICIAL Sensitive services. But where it really provides an advantage is in its ability to promote collaborative working practices, making it even easier to efficiently design digital services, configure seamless staff facing case management and interact with systems integrators and third parties.” Jane Roberts, Toplevel's Strategy Director (*) “Deloitte: End
