SourceTap CRM is an enterprise class CRM system with integrated Sales,
Support, and Marketing functionality.
SourceTap CRM is available as a hosted service or for on-premise
installations. The hosted service is perfect for small companies, companies
with small numbers of users, or companies that do not have the IT
infrastructute in place to install and manage the application on-site. The
on-premise solution is perfect for larger companies, companies with the
ability to install and support the applications, or companies that need to
integrate the system with the company's existing systems. We give you the
flexibility to start with the hosted service and then migrate to the
on-premise installation as your company grows.
Architecture
SourceTap is a J2EE application that was designed to be database and
application server independent. It can be deployed on most common operating
systems (Linux, Windows), application servers ( BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere,
Oracle Application Server, Jetty, Tomcat), and databases (Oracle, MS SQL
Server, DB2, Postgres, Mysql). SourceTap provides both a set of completed
applications as well as a framework for rapidly developing custom
applications. The framework includes data access, security, workflow, and
user interface components to allow you to quickly build intuitive, scalable
applications with a common look and feel. SourceTap also provides a
framework for building hosted applications that can be delivered as a
subscription service to multiple enterprises on the same platform.
Components
SourceTap uses the open source framework provided by Ofbiz to provide the
database abstraction layer, basic security, and workflow. On top of that,
SourceTap developed an end-user customizable GUI framework that is
customizable on a per user or per company basis. In addition, we created the
data model for CRM functionality, developed the business logic, and created
dynamic business intelligence, data synchronization, and import/export
functionality.
Customization
One of the major goals by the SourceTap development team was to create a
platform for creating multi-enterprise hosted applications that could be
easily customized by end users and company administrators instead of
developers. In order to meet that goal, SourceTap has delivered a point and
click web interface allowing for runtime customization of screens,
development of new data objects and relationships between objects, and
specification of business logic without requiring java development
experience.
Integration
SourceTap was developed with a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), enabling
easy integration between SourceTap and external applications such as SAP,
Peoplesoft, and Oracle Applications.
