La tecnologia innovativa di Teleporto Adriatico

    D.Dense The innovative technology of Teleporto Adriatico D.Dense is an innovative technology restated by Teleporto Adriatico specific to the management of workgroup documents. It is based on the Lotus Notes/Lotus Domino platform and is able to extend its potential.
    The starting point defined for the development of D.Dense is to evolve the concept of a document considered as a static object containing invariable (inert) data; the innovative idea on which this system is based is the store of the individual data present in a document as a network of data vectors. For D.Dense documents do not exist physically, but are rebuilt as virtual documents each time, when required by the user. When reference is made to a document this is quickly rebuilt by an access algorithm that, on the basis of the identity of the user, extracts the information of his/her interest, and is presented as a dynamical document which is destroyed when the access session terminates. As a result the data that appears in the document will always be up-to-date.
    The nucleus of the data acts as a hologram: the documents can be considered as prospective images of a hologram from the point of view of the individual user. Changing the identity of the user and consequently his/her access rights, will result in a change of the prospective view.
    This innovative aspect of D.Dense in comparison with more traditional technologies presents a series of advantages amongst which the most evident are that:

• updating takes place immediately between correlated documents;
• the database is smaller and grows less quickly, as a consequence replication time is drastically reduced;
• the redundancy of data is eliminated;
• D.Dense is easier to interface with relational database
• the algorithms of D.Dense create the documents to be submitted ad hoc for every user, based on the situation within the available set of data, allowing the utmost of a dynamic presentation.

    D.Dense principally exploits two of the characteristics of Notes/Domino: the capacity to replicate its own database, by transmitting only the information related to the difference between the replicas, and the capacity of being able to encrypt the transmissions and the storing of information contained in the database. These two characteristics are able to guarantee a system that is straightforward, quick and secure. The severe authentication controls guarantee furthermore that unauthorised users are not able to gain access to data that are beyond their competence.
    In addition D.Dense is able to keep track of document-editing sessions; it is possible to backtrack and reconstruct the state (condition) and the values of the network vectors. This allows to rebuild the documents in the past and to see who has had access, and when and which modifications have been introduced. This function which allows to recuperate in any moment even historical data, permits a noteworthy saving specific to back-end functions.
    This advanced system represents an optimum solution to support the logic of workflow, because it provides documents whose data is always revised, and assures a sturdy access control system. The registration of each individual access is moreover a guarantee of responsibility and security, because there always exists the possibility to trace the identity of who has modified a document in which period of time and in which way.
    Data management is facilitated by the fact that there is no redundancy. Therefore the dimensions of the databases are smaller and as a result it is possible to manage the databases at a scaled size that is less than the memory required by traditional systems, which means a saving of 90% of the resources.

    D.Dense aims to meet presently requirements specific to the logistics sector, but it is also structured in such a way as to be ideally adaptable for workgroup and workflow management in many fields; in particular in all areas where it is necessary to keep, for relevant economic reasons, a trace of all the steps one document makes.

D.Dense could provide an essential application for example in the following sectors:

• the banking sector;
• the insurance sector;
• the health service sector;
• privately owned chain establishments;
• local businesses;
• service enterprises in particular distribution and marketing;
• in general: customer care management (with clients, agents, agencies and branches).
