= Overview =
bxp is a very extensible and flexible platform but it can sometimes be hard to visualise how all the bits fit together. This start here is designed to show you how bxp is brought together and how you can explore its expansion.
In order to explain bxp we use an analogy to help everyone understand what we do.
Imagine you want a build a house. This house is going to be custom built to give you your perfect space for what you want to do.
bxp is the house. What you want to do is run your operation, your way.
The challenge with building a house is not every house is the same and they all have very different purposes and very different people living in them.
= Building a house =
Different people are involved in building a house with very different skill sets. Like everything in life there is a wonderful blend of skills and talents where some people can do more than others and some are better in areas than others. So we need to divide up the areas:
* The customer: The person who has the idea and is the one funding the project.
* Architects: The people who visualise the idea
* Builders: The people who turn vision into reality
* Interior Designers: The people who transform the inside of the structure
You are the customer. Its your money, how can we help you realise your vision.
All n One are builders (i.e. Software Developers). We have been building since 2005 with staff working on the team building since the 1980s. We are very good builders. Computer software lets us do something real world builders can't do. We have pre-built houses. We can literally in less then 30 minutes construct an entire new house from a template. The houses are bxp systems.
When buying a house some people have very specific ideas of what they want, others are happy to buy something already built. Most of All n One's customers are happy to see what we have already built but we can also facilitate very custom designs. Our pre-built template approach greatly reduces cost.
= Building your house =
The most important part is that you know what you want. The greatest challenge any architect, builder or interior designer faces is ensure that they are able to realise the dream of the customer. The more detail and specific a customer is, the more exact the delivery can be.
Lets start with an example build. You want somewhere you can send your staff. This construction has to provide certain facilities to help them do their job. You want it to look fairly reasonable but you don't want to pay the earth. You're not 100% it's going to work, so you want the flexibility to try.
If this was house building and you were visiting a foreign country, you wouldn't necessarily initially build a house, you might stay in a hotel or rent somewhere to get an idea. bxp can facilitate a temporary stay.
So you do your stay, you now have an idea of what rooms and facilities you generally want. Some might be nice to haves, others will be need to have. This usually manifests in a one or two page requirements document which you can email to the bxp team and we'll interpret and build against using our pre-built templates.
From the prototype that is built (a fully working model house). You get to do your viewing. Is this what I want... can I change this... ohh I never thought of that. bxp can go through a number of iterations of change.
To give an idea of time scale.
* 30 mins to build the house (create a system and select the modules of the system)
* 2 hours introduction / guided viewing
* 30 hours of initial system set-up and support to ensure that your prototype is exactly what is required.
= Style =
Style to some people is vital, to others a couch is a couch. The All n One team recognising this have made is possible for two different groups to influence how bxp is constructed.
bxp allows a client to make their own design changes. You can paint your own walls a specific colour. You can move in your own furniture as you need. Doing D.I.Y. definitely keeps the costs down. If you have skilled graphics people, coders or other talented people already on crew you can literally make worlds of difference. This exercise we refer to as Interior Design. You are putting material within the framework of the system, which you have styled.
Interior Designers for bxp come in a number of forms:
* eLearning content developers: This group make stunning interactive eLearning material which can be delivered and monitored through bxp
* JavaScript and MetaData developers: This group make the system perform very custom functions which can save 100s of person hours of work
* Website developers: This group make public websites far away from bxp, but store all their data in bxp securely
* Mobile app developers: This group make apps for mobile phones which store data securely in bxp
* Phone system integrators: This group make phone systems do amazing things and save lots of manual operation by leveraging technology
The All n One team have skills in all these areas, but there are companies out there who specialise in these areas. We can work with these groups and facilitate the realisation of your vision.
