documentsOS is based on a standardised runtime environment and includes user-friendly document management. Prefabricated solutions run in a stable environment and can be easily expanded. New business processes can be implemented quickly and without risk – in the company itself or in the cloud.
The proven runtime environment of the otris development platform is closely interlinked with operating system-related services and can be easily integrated into the company infrastructure or the cloud. Data and documents are routed through the organisation with the help of workflows. If special business logic is required, this can be added using the de facto JavaScript standard in a low-code process. The processes are then stored in an electronic archive in accordance with legal requirements.
All of otris’ specialised solutions are based on the capabilities of documentsOS and are used thousands of times every day. While otris specialises in legal and compliance solutions, otris solution partners also implement their own solutions in various specialist areas of companies. However, the proven components of the low-code development platform are always used. This results in fast development cycles and high product quality.
Centralised services
User management, secure data storage and communication with operating system-related services, such as an e-mail server, are just a few examples of the central services of the otris solution platform. The more of these standard services are utilised in a specialist application, the better the time-to-market and product quality. New services are constantly being added to the runtime environment, which has been hardened over many years. The otris development team only uses 100% open source extensions.
Javascript-Engine
Javascript has also become firmly established on the server in recent years. It is simple, easy to learn and there are many good development tools. The integrated Javascript engine offers access to the services provided but also to a constantly growing world of open source Javascript libraries. Only where necessary can special requirements be implemented at a high level of abstraction (low-code development).
Integration into companies
The documentsOS servers can run on Windows and Linux. They can be operated in data centres (on-premises) and in cloud environments. Interfaces enable the exchange of data and documents with other company software. The user operates the specialised solutions with a web browser or mobile devices. The solutions are therefore available everywhere. Standards such as HTTPS or LDAP and the optional use of private networks (VPN) offer the highest level of security.
Document management in the browser
Whether you want to define a multi-stage process for document approval, map a digital signature process or automate the data check after approval – with the otris solution platform you can digitise work processes. Graphical modelling is carried out with the help of a workflow design tool (Microsoft Visio).
Workflows control business processes
documentsOS integrates all database content into a differentiated authorisation and access concept with clear rules and possible exceptions. The implementation is customised and can range from a pragmatic approach to complex access control. With documentsOS, you can organise secure access to confidential documents.
Audit-proof archiving
documentsOS integrates comprehensive business intelligence functions. Data from the database or from other sources can be called up for customised analysis. The data can be analysed, grouped, summarised and arranged according to any criteria.
otris develops model-driven solutions. This means that the desired technicality is first transferred to a graphical model and from there, automatically, to the programme code. This approach speeds up development and simplifies maintainability through standardisation.
Thanks to agile processes in otris software development, usable prototypes are created after a short planning phase, which are refined step by step. Starting development at an early project stage and after a short planning phase has many advantages: Individual parts of the programme can be assessed immediately and, if necessary, redesigned, expanded or discarded. This reduces the risk of undesirable developments and enables the uncomplicated implementation of optimisations during the ongoing project.
documentsOS contains ready-made components that can be used for different use cases. Example: Deadline management, which was originally developed for contract management, also works in legal tech applications to monitor objection or cancellation deadlines. Other components can be reused according to the same principle – e.g. editorial workflows, authorisation concepts, reporting tools. The use of ready-made, proven components saves time and ensures quality.
On-premises or cloud – documentsOS works without restrictions in both worlds. On-premises means that the solution is installed on a server at the company location. In a cloud version, the user accesses the servers of a secure data centre (located in Germany) and uses the solution from there. In both cases, the user uses a web browser to work with the software.
Ease of use thanks to a software interface that has been thought through down to the last detail is a top priority in all otris developments. The outstanding usability of the otris solution platform minimises the learning curve for new users when developing solutions in the low-code environment.
