stSoftware’s CloudBlocks combines the best of industry standard components to provide a solution that gives a greater speed of operation, enhanced security and shorter development time frames, than are normally associated with large scale web applications.

CloudBlocks enables the development of scaleable solutions that require real time data access across multiple locations and applications. the proven design reduces the risk involved in building enterprise level applications.

How it works

CloudBlocks is an object oriented layered database management system with a database application layer, providing database access and business objects providing the business layer to control security, data integrity, and work flow.  Integrated web forms provide the presentation layer delivering a consistent look and feel thereby lowering training and maintenance costs.    

For speed of operation and data validation, the middle tier design incorporates business rules such as formulas and aggregations. These can be dynamically changed and implemented through the web based user interface. Alternative client applications such as Excel, can remotely connect to the business layer through web services.

The application supports server side business rules, and access controls. This ensures data integrity and security regardless of the type of application request. stSoftware's CloudBlocks is also designed to deal with large amounts of data and the system scales by supporting multiple application servers, distributed processing and advanced data caching mechanisms.

The CloudBlocks database system is arranged into modules such as Jobs, Finances and Timesheets containing universal functionality which typically aligns with 80% - 100% of the data requirements of most organizations. The modules are selected and can be configured or customised to complete the tailoring so that 100% of current and future system requirements can be fulfilled.

Industry Specific Systems

stSoftware has used the CloudBlocks framework to develop more customized products for specific types of business and industries.

As we worked with more and more clients, we built a number of packages that were already configured and customised to offer ‘off the shelf’ convenience but were able to be further tailored to suit specific data requirements. These packages included JobTrack (formerly Super-Tracker) – which won the National e-Business Award presented by Yellow Pages – , MemberTrack, AppointmentTrack and SubscriptionTrack and more recently Cloud file Manager.

We would be pleased to discuss how your organization could benefit implementing a custom system utilizing stSoftware's cloud technology and expertise. Contact us today for more information.
