JANUS is the Linksfield developed platform for Business Process Automation (what’s that?). This platform provides a set of core “building blocks” from which bespoke software applications can rapidly be built, with the joint benefits of custom fit to the client’s needs and construction on a secure foundation of tried and tested software components.

Based on Microsoft tools such as Visual Studio .NET (including ASP.NET and C#), SQL Server and BizTalk, JANUS has two key components:

• An internal-facing application, for use purely by users within the organisation (eg. internal administration staff)
• An external-facing application, for use by customers / partners outside your organisation (eg. intermediaries)

Linksfield can configure JANUS to integrate either option, or both.

Key features of JANUS include:

• Authentication & Password Management, including online user registration
• Online Application Forms / Web Forms with comprehensive field validation and default values
• Document generation and template population, such as Office documents, PDF documents
• Integration with Document Management systems (eg. scanning or fax solutions)
• Maths Engine
• Email engine
• Workflow and Tasks Engine
• Reporting Engine
• Online help system
• Systems Administration framework, including:
  • Global System Settings
  • User Management
  • Logs / Audit trails
• White labelling / private labelling
