Workbrain Technology and Architecture
Workbrain technology manages some of world’s largest enterprises and most complex workforces. It has been designed from the ground-up to allow organizations to incorporate a broad set of workforce management processes on a field-proven, enterprise-class architecture.
Workbrain is a pure Internet application. It runs entirely within a web browser, and does not require any installation on the user's machine. Pure Internet applications are considered "zero deployment" because they require very little time and cost to deploy out to end users.
Finally, Workbrain is the only workforce management provider to offer a unique product strategy that reduces total cost of ownership by limiting the frequency of major upgrades while still providing significant new functionality.
Key Advantages
To meet the needs of large, complex and distributed workforces, Workbrain incorporates a set of guiding principles for its technology and architecture that provide distinct advantages. They are as follows:
- Leveraging a Stable and Proven Platform: Workbrain Feature Packs are free, optional enhancement packages that deliver valuable functionality on a proven, stable platform without requiring a major upgrade. Released throughout the year, Feature Packs significantly reduce the need for clients to manage multiple upgrades while enabling them to continue enhancing their systems to take advantage of the newest technology and functionality advances.
- Open and Service-Oriented: Open architecture with field-proven integration to a variety of leading Payroll, Human Resources, General Ledger and other vendor applications. A variety of integration methodologies are available, including web services.
- Platform Independent: Designed on the J2EE™ (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) specification, a standard developed to allow platform independence. Workbrain enables support for major operating systems, application servers, and databases.
- Scalable and Highly Available: Capable of managing very large and complex enterprises, with proven scalability in the field. The application is third-party tested to support user populations of 500,000 employees with sub-second response times, on a highly available basis.
- Global-Ready: Capable of providing support for localized text, dates, and numbers simultaneously for multiple countries on a single application instance, including the ability to support localized application data and double-byte character sets. Language packs are available for countries across the globe.
- Configurable and Extensible: Workbrain provides a suite of tools to configure and extend core application functionality, allowing organizations to address unique requirements without expensive customizations or complicated upgrades. Each tool is Web-based and intuitive and leverages a graphical interface.
- Secure and Auditable: Comprehensive application security, with a host of authentication mechanisms. Audit trails ensure a history of changes is maintained indefinitely for all system activities, to enable compliance with in-house IT standards and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
- “Zero Deployment” Footprint: Workbrain is a pure HTML-based application that eliminates the need for applets or other code to be deployed on the end-user’s desktop. This simplifies deployments, reduces help desk issues, and enables operation in low-bandwidth environments.
