Dexton Software’s Agile System Environment principles have resulted in a philosophy which enables companies to update, expand and optimize any software environment. In business reality, existing infrastructures for software applications are always a factor in terms of costs and investments made in relation to adjustments needed to improve corporate results.
With the current economic changes, it is increasingly important to control costs as well as maximize existing environments. Full replacement of entire system environments is a thing of the past. This entails disproportionate investments, while markets change at an increasing pace, setting higher requirements to the software environment in order to enable implementing the relevant adjustments and optimizations in a short time.
Dexton Software’s applications are the answer to these new developments. Dexton Software’s Master Solutions can be used for unlimited combinations with existing software and new applications in order to improve corporate agility. On one hand, the end user benefits from these Solutions, which allow for optimizing past investments and at the same time for matching operations to market changes in a shorter time. On the other hand, Dexton Software’s Solutions form an interesting configuration for applications that do not intrinsically constitute a Total Solution. The value of such software types may be increased by combining it with Dexton Solutions in order to support critical business processes because they are supplemented with activity management, amongst others, which leads to higher returns and faster interaction with the market. This offers new opportunities to Software Vendors in terms of achieving more sales power in their own software products.
Dexton Software has three Master Solutions:
• Backbone Master Solution
• Application Master Solution
• Front-End Master Solution
Each of the Master Solutions, or a combination of Master Solutions, are ideal for total business cycles. In addition to the powerful merit that these Master Solutions can be combined with other software components, they also have their own powerful functionality. The added value of the Master Solutions offers a series of benefits in order to implement existing and new functionality with software.
This way, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) structures can be realized at application level. Thanks to strong, context-driven software architecture, it is now possible to create existing and new SOAs at the level of functional relations with the business process.
In essence, this is the basis for the necessary cohesion within complex system environments. Dexton’s Master Solutions focus on the result of what must be generated rather than dwelling on the functional relation of the technical architecture. In brief, the central focus is on returns, not only for the end user, but also for the Software Vendor aiming to stay in touch with the increasing pace of change in their (market) environment.
The properties of Dexton Software’s Master Solutions combine for strong market competitiveness. In times of fast, sequential market changes, adjustments may be implemented faster. This offers companies a tool to quickly anticipate changes and stay ahead of competition. Moreover, Dexton Software’s Solutions were designed to offer advantages in terms of project times. This eventually leads to a lower price level of IT investments and more value for money, as the required changes enable return on investment in a shorter period thanks to short project times.
The Backbone Master Solution is a sophisticated Integration Management solution with unique properties far exceeding traditional interface technology. Where interfaces offer a case-to-case solution, Dexton Software’s Backbone Master Solution provides an integral solution for connectivity within complex system environments.
Where most Integration tools have limited, single level linking functionality, the Backbone Master Solution has the quality to generate an unlimited number of relations at any level, i.e. at application level, database level and system level, both independently or in combination with other software products.
In essence, the tentacles of this Backbone Master Solution reach into any corner of complex infrastructures, linking software components, databases and even the core of functionality, data and relations as required for integral cohesion.
Based on a proven technology, the unique properties of the software are powerful, and tried and tested in practical corporate use. This software product can be used independently in end situations or combined with other software products in order to create an adequate final solution supporting the end results within any desired business environment.
The Solution technology is based on a unique contingency principle allowing for connecting any desired input and output relation in the required cohesion. This so-called loop closing functionality offers pure agility in order to integrate swiftly changing market information into the required business model.
The Backbone Master Solution is even more powerful in combination with software solutions, for example in the area of Business Intelligence (BI), CRM, ERP and Finance applications. Dexton Software also offers a high-end in-house CRM application. The Solution offers the power of creating a final solution as well as the power of integrating a total solution within complex system environments. In particular the latter has a high added value, since this is not limited to linking components, but creates cohesion at functionality level.
Limits fade in terms of scalability with the application of sophisticated modeling principles, largely replacing old coding techniques. In combination with the multi-link possibilities, unified infrastructures can be created in an easy and structured manner. This fits in with the reasoning that necessary adjustments can be implemented cost-effectively and simply, without detriment to fundamental software components. This distinction guarantees a revival of past investments and improved adaptiveness where needed.
This means that adjustments can be done faster, simpler and cheaper, with a larger scale and wider scope than would be possible with traditional, limited integration tools.

Dexton Software’s Application Master Solution is a logical expansion of the Backbone Master Solution for creating unified software applications in situations that until recently required applications that could not be combined. In corporate reality, in particular in situations of fast market changes, various applications should be working in tandem in terms of their functionality. The Application Master Solution is ideal for resolving these situations.
Corporate environments are generally characterized by the use of a wide variety of applications for wide-ranging purposes, with supporting the business in achieving results as the underlying goal. In business reality, we are all acquainted with the phenomenon that critical business applications must be fed at all times by related supporting applications used in sub-processes. It would be safe to conclude that each business process is effectively put together as a fictive compilation of functionalities. We all know the practical problems of the required compilations, which are often not possible due to limited interaction of various applications or their constituent parts.
Additionally, the required compilation is also subject to change, certainly if changes in the market environment occur in quick succession. Agility with the market in this context cannot be guaranteed with advanced integration possibilities, but must be complemented by a flexible environment making application functionality hybrid within their application. In other words, the users must be able to compile their own functionality groups that, in combination with the input/output principle, allows for fast adjustment and implementation of changes to support the desired business results.
The Application Master Solution offers powerful Entity Modeling technology, enabling combination of functionality and compensation with new functionality derived from existing applications. In essence, the principle is basic. It focuses on the relevant entities of the business process model rather than programming the functionality itself. The modeling principle has two features. On one hand, as a BPM tool (Business Process Management), it creates the business rules within the business model. On the other hand, configuration can simultaneously be used to convert it into a functionality within the (virtual) application and realize it as an activity.
This powerful property creates a new dimension in the field of activity management, combining a functional activity that previously required traditional programming within the application with a business activity related to the business model. In this way, it forms part of the required process flows. The result of this property provides optimal adaptiveness of existing applications to be combined.
The unique combination between functionality and activity is the foundation for generating every possible combination within and with applications. The benefit is that existing applications can be placed in a new perspective and may be converted into partial or complete end-to-end solutions. In combination with the Backbone Master Solution, the Application Master Solution is a unique solution for the desirable Actionable BI. The phenomenon of Actionable BI can be interpreted as the need for direct conversion into activity management based on the input/output principle of Business Intelligence for integral use within business operations. With the Application Master Solution, this functionality is combined and the Backbone Master Solution integrates it into the complex business environment. In the case of Actionable BI, the CRM, BI and Data Quality applications are combined using the Application Master. The Backbone Master then ensures that this combined product can be implanted into any possible system environment.
Dexton Software adheres to the principle that simplicity is the key to success. This also applies to software users. In a world where virtually everything is possible and extensive product differentiation offers innumerable features in all shapes and forms, it has become almost impossible to make an adequate choice. The individual users ultimately determine the compilation of functionalities with respect to software applications in terms of role and function. Dexton’s Front-End Master Solution offers an adequate solution based on a Unified User Experience.
Drag and drop principles help present the cohesion of functionality with this solution to form a single final application. The Front-End Master Solution offers a ‘single window to the world' principle, where the user is central for the tasks to be carried out. This is independent of the separate applications. This approach allows the individuals to focus on their tasks rather than having to get immersed into the IT environment.
The so-called ‘Unified User Experience’ can be applied for any possible combination of software applications and is fully independent of the devices used. This provides an unlimited choice in the compilation of the User Interface. The user and the use are the core theme.
A powerful feature of the solution technology is the possibility to merge the functionality or even application sub-screens into a cohesive whole, making it act as one. This makes for a more effective User Interface, and more importantly, it creates a familiar environment for each individual. This is supplemented by an ingenious content management system (CMS), enabling personalization of look and lay-out within the required authorizations.
