Connected Intelligence (Ci) is TechnologyOne’s current technology release. It is an exciting, new generation platform that sets the standard in the future direction of enterprise business software solutions.  TechnologyOne’s customers have embraced this release and are realising significant benefits today.

The Ci release is a new generation that marries the best of client server and web technology. It is based on an internet architecture that allows customers to swiftly and automatically deploy any TechnologyOne solution across their organisation.

Not only is the Ci release easy to deploy, but it also empowers users with a rich user interface, unlike traditional web applications which limit the user experience. The solution is sophisticated in its functionality, with genuine integration with other desktop applications such as spreadsheets and email, an instant response to, and validation of, information, and rich tools such as graphing and grid manipulation.

By combining the key benefits of a simple and easy to deploy solution with a rich user interface, TechnologyOne provides its customers with obvious and practical ways of using the application, and reduces the need for training wherever possible. The Ci technology uses concepts from both web and Windows applications that organisations already use. This leap in the user experience results in an increased use of the system throughout the organisation and in turn our customers maximise their return on investment.

Our next generation applications are based on people-centric technology, a generation ahead of functionality-centric ERP applications with system and module boundaries. Our applications are designed to cater for a user’s 'role' in an organisation, rather than the software application’s view of the world. Users are presented with an active, role-specific workplace unique to the work that they do, 'out of the box'.

Instead of having a ‘passive’ desktop where you seek out information, TechnologyOne’s workplace provides all users with proactive task alerts, integrated business intelligence such as graphical key performance indicators (KPIs), and a workflow engine to automate and streamline the job at hand. The simplicity of this “one user experience” can be tailored for each team member, whether a middle manager, or an accounts payable clerk.

Ultimately, information is the most important outcome from an enterprise application and we help our customers to proactively push high quality, real time information across their enterprise for greater effectiveness. Even staff who cannot log into the system due to time pressures or their remote location can receive important and timely information for action via a number of methods, including email and SMS.

Our customers appreciate the fact that TechnologyOne is always at the leading edge of software technology. The Ci technology platform is based on a service-oriented architecture on the .NET platform, and supports the latest in web services technology to connect disparate systems.
