A Good Solution

So what should a good solution look like?

  • It should have a sophisticated templating environment, suitable for use by a wide variety of users.
  • Data and presentation should be separated, so that the presentation (e.g. how the document looks) should be able to be changed independently from the system(s) that produces the data – i.e. you should be able to change the content and styling of a produced document, without modifying the core system.
  • Changes should be able to be made quickly and with confidence.
  • Content should be re-usable across the enterprise.
  • The solution should be standards based.
  • The solution should have an open architecture.
  • The solution should provide services suitable for consumption in an SOA.
  • The solution should be performant enough to support the enterprise.
  • The solution should be architected in such a way that it can be easily integrated into existing processes, data providers, and workflows.
  • It should be capable of providing a large number of output formats.
  • The content should be secure.

The following diagram illustrates a best-of-breed approach using the Scriptura Engage product set.

Scriptura Workflow

It is important to note the following:

  • More than one calling application uses the same document generation service. Note that in this case the interface to Scriptura, is via web-services.
  • The templating tool is the same for each calling application, allowing for the duplication and centralization of templating resources.
  • The server can produce multiple output formats.
