The need
As the trust services market becomes ever more competitive, our users need Jobstream to be tailored for new business requirements, with increasingly rapid turnarounds. Custom Systems is a wide-ranging technology initiative, designed to allow Jobstream consultants to add new features to your system straight away.
Examples
- Enter dates, personnel and notes relating to your accounts preparation process.
- Enter an “earliest date for time-posting for this office”, and prevent the posting of time before that date.
- Allow an address record to be flagged as a “politically exposed person”, and store an extra page of details.
- Extend the client browser to display the administrator, allowing searching and reporting.
Traditionally, customisation was a task for the programming team. Changes needed to be assessed for impact on other sites, slotted into the programming and testing schedules, and finally issued along with the next Jobstream product release, perhaps six months later. Jobstream has developed new technology which allows customisation to be freed from the release cycle, and to become a consultancy task instead. Because Jobstream has its own Data Dictionary and Forms Engine, we have been able to develop a customisation technology which controls the behaviour of the system but is carefully isolated from the core Jobstream functionality. As a result, seamlessly integrated customisations can be delivered straight away. As well as offering immediate results, Custom Systems customisations are simpler and cheaper than traditional programming work.
