Overview
The Openprise platform orchestrates data in a frequency-based batch fashion through the configuration of Jobs and Bots in the platform. In most cases, orchestrated data are sent back to the source system or a different target system for end users to consume. However, data administrators often have the need to provide data access to end users who do not have access to those systems due to various reasons.
App Factory is a custom interaction layer to Openprise's data and processes. Each app provides the interaction layer between the data and the end user. Thereby providing access to orchestrated data from various systems to end users.
It is an agile approach to business app creation aimed at data consumption use cases without IT involvement.
