Framework Components

Take advantage of Archer's powerful tools for building and tailoring on-demand applications.

The Archer SmartSuite Framework is like an operating system for your business. You have the tools to create a new set of applications that can be used throughout your organization, not just in enterprise security, compliance and risk management. Through the Framework’s simple yet powerful components, your subject-matter experts are empowered to create and mange their own applications without requiring technical resources to accomplish their goals.

• Application Builder

  The Application Builder offers powerful tools and a user-friendly interface for building and tailoring business applications with no programming required. You can design applications to capture and display any kind of data, and you have full control over the page layout, allowing you to create an intuitive experience for end users.

• Reports and Dashboards

  To gain value from your data, you need a comprehensive, real-time view of your business. Through the Archer SmartSuite Framework, you can generate actionable reports that allow you to share data with other users and track the status of various initiatives. You can also build graphical, role-specific dashboards to monitor metrics across business units.

• Access Control

  To ensure the integrity of your data and a streamlined user experience, you need to enforce access controls so users can interact only with the information that is appropriate for their roles. With Archer’s powerful yet easy-to-use access control features, you can control information access at the system, application, record and field level.

• Appearance

  The Archer SmartSuite Framework offers a simple interface for branding applications with your corporate look and feel. You are free to use your unique company colors, graphics, icons and text to facilitate end-user adoption of new applications. You can also embed custom instructions in the user interface to facilitate self-training and diminish the learning curve.

• Notifications

  The Archer SmartSuite Framework allows you to automatically notify users via email when new information requires their attention, when tasks enter their queue or when deadlines approach. To ensure that you are alerting the right users at the right time, Archer enables you to define simple or complex notification rules. Email notifications can also include direct links to the content that users need to take action or make a decision.

• Business Workflow

  Archer’s workflow capabilities allow you to define and automate business processes for streamlining the management of content, tasks, statuses and approvals. Through Archer’s content review feature, you can route information to subject-matter experts for editing or authorization prior to sharing that data with a broader audience. Archer also enables you to assign tasks automatically based on data conditions within an application, eliminating manual task management processes.

• Integration

  The Archer SmartSuite Framework allows seamless integration of cross-departmental and enterprise data systems through a variety of integration components. The Framework is designed to be both vendor neutral and content independent to support cross-system information gathering and consolidation.
