April 20 , 2005
Agenda
Background
Overview of Application XML
Value and Proof: Demonstration of Mobile (Disconnected) Case Management Application
Open Discussion
Background
Over 15 years focused on Reuse and Assembly of Software
Recognized by Dr. Charles Goldfarb published in his 5th Edition of the top selling XML handbook
ObjectBuilders is the leading provider of Assembled Software Solutions.
ObjectBuilders Software Solutions are Assembled and delivered entirely in XML.
Goal
How many of you would like to (need to) deliver higher quality, more complex software solutions
faster and at less cost?
We will show you the way…
Peak your interest so that you further explore the concept of Application XML and Assembling
Software Solutions.
Application XML Exceeds The Presidents Case Management LoB Goals
The President’s LoB Initiative Vision Utilizing common solutions and data standards, case management
information is easily and appropriately shared within and between federal and local agencies and with citizens.
The President’s LoB Initiative Goals Enable case management data to be shared efficiently within and
across agencies. Improve effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement,
investigation, and civil and criminal litigation case management business processes.
Identify common case management processes across components and agencies that will drive system and function consolidation.
What is Application XML?
Just another XML Schema? Not to ObjectBuilders… Application XML enables TRUE Application Assembly Application Assembly = Consistent High Quality Solutions in
Less Time and for Less Cost

What do I need to Assemble?
1. Physical infrastructure (new and existing)2. Modules and Services (as opposed to objects and frameworks)3. Common architecture (XML and Web Services)4. Powerful productivity tools for Assembly5. Engines capable of rendering Application XML (called players)

Three Tiered Architecture
With Application Layer
Code still exists. Application assembly or the application layer rides on top of coded services and existing infrastructure.
The goal is to have ZERO code in the Application Layer
Available today…The Proof…
How many of you would like to see a robust application (not a click through demo) that was created in 2 weeks and is 100% assembled?
A totally disconnected Case Management application How workers are provided with a “Mobile Packet” that contains all
the data, records, and materials needed to complete assigned tasks
Integrate multiple data sources and leverages existing infrastructure
Leverages like SQL Server and FileNet Workflow Open, Represented 100% in XML. Open, technology independent Works in thin, rich and full client. Future proof 100% reuse of base components. 100% reuse of standard
modules. 90% reuse of templates and Solution modules and services as applicable

ObjectBuilders Overview
The business problem - trying to create higher quality, faster and less expensive business applications – This is the goal of
any manufacturer
Computer Hardware has evolved – computers are now manufactured by assembling interchangeable and reusable
components
Computer Software has not evolved to the level of computer
hardware manufacturing
ObjectBuilders provides the solution – A True Application Assembly Platform
Introduction
Year 2003 Published in Dr. Charles Goldfarb’s 5th Edition of the top selling XML handbook
GMAC said that their R3 project (Created using ObjectBuilders products) was the most successful delivery as far as they can remember
Delivered a 500 page custom business application 30 days after the specification was completed
ObjectBuilders applications have stood the test of time. Through an upgrade to the base player, customers have been able to move from: Win 3.1 16 bit to Windows 32 Bit to Distributed N-Tiered to Thin Client to Rich Client to Disconnect – All without rewriting a single line of code

Application development and enhancement turn around is too slow
Applications are not flexible, adaptable and scalable to changing business requirements
Application needs to be created for specific deployment technology. Applications are not technology and vendor independent
Packaged vs. Custom: Custom solutions are very risky; Packaged solutions force businesses to fit the package
Multi vendor product integration Multi platform deployments Leverage existing corporate technology infrastructure Future Proofing Technology Independent
Challenges Solved by the LiveApp Player™
Case Study – Media/Communications
Challenge Thousands of partners; multiple channels; all unique contracts Need to implement new contracts rapidly to meet market
demands (competitive, strategic, tactical) Need to integrate multiple internal and external data sources and
production systems (Siebel, Oracle, Lawson, Portal, customer systems)
Solution FinancialStream Originally custom LiveXML
Results A single source to manage the entire contractual relationship Automated settlement, reporting & auditing of financial
obligations 80% of all enhancements handled through Admin Interface
