SmartApps

SmartApp Definition: A SmartApp is a self-contained web-application that combines a configurable user interface, data, workflow and security to deliver powerful business functionality.

InQuest IQ9 allows companies to deliver all their business applications as SmartApps on a powerful web-based platform — with one user interface, enterprise search, a comprehensive security structure, company specific workflows and web-services for integration. In minutes, business users, with zero coding experience, can replace stand-alone databases, emails and spreadsheets with SmartApps that have all the document management, collaboration, process automation, project management and reporting capabilities that are needed in today’s information intensive work environments. SmartApps are used by InQuest customers to Lower Operating Costs, Reduce Cycle Times, Increase Data Accuracy, Streamline Business Processes and Increase Revenues.

With SmartApps, you can take the power and security of InQuest IQ9 and instantly deploy business applications using nothing more than a web-browser. Building highly functional SmartApps is easy with no technical skills or coding required. For complex SmartApps and system-to-system interfacing, InQuest IQ9’s open .NET architecture supports the most stringent IT requirements as well.

Each SmartApp is configured using four main building-blocks: Data [the information you need], Documents [how you want the information to look], Workflow [how the information flows between users or systems], Security [who can see the data and add, edit or delete it], and Reporting [structured “views” of your information].

DATA	InQuest IQ9 lets you build your SmartApps using a variety of powerful different data types (MetaData). From simple entry fields, date fields and drop-down selections to auto-increment IDs, location pickers and data sources, each SmartApp can contain a virtually unlimited number of fields.
DOCUMENTS	Build a SmartApp and present your information using web forms, Adobe PDFs, Microsoft Office files, AutoCAD drawings or 200+ other formats. InQuest IQ9 supports the way you want to present your information.
WORKFLOW	The industry leading IQ9 Workflow Engine allows business users to design and configure complex, multi-step workflows and link them to their SmartApps. If you can envision a business process, you can create a SmartApp for it.
SECURITY	As an enterprise application, InQuest IQ9 meets the most rigorous security requirements. Access to data can be configured for users, roles, groups and companies. Since data access requirements can change during a workfllow, InQuest IQ9 support stage based security for granular security control.
REPORTING	From the global Report Center down to user generated InfoViews and exportable data filters, users are able to report and analyze their information at multiple levels throughout IQ9.

For companies with Enterprise Asset Management requirements, InQuest IQ9 SmartApps can also include a tightly integrated Enterprise Asset Catalog [complete asset information across the asset lifecycle] and a Global Site Directory [a company specific location hierarchy for organizing data and documents].

All of your company locations can be modeled and managed from a global or regional level down to a building, floor, room or cabinet level. Each location can then have assets, projects and processes associated to it for complete location based information management.
