NettSite Internet Applications cc

CK 2009/025455/23

Background

NettSite commenced trading as a sole proprietorship in 2002, to provide software development services primarily in the financial services arena, as the founder and owner at the time, William Nettmann, had extensive experience in information technology in stock broking and investment portfolio management.

This was at a time where open source software was becoming a viable alternative to expensive proprietary software, and NettSite believed that by using open source applications, the effectiveness of resources allocated to information systems could be greatly enhanced, as more resources could be allocated to the actual development and delivery of systems, and less on costly software licenses.

Subsequently the focus area has expanded beyond financial services companies, and now covers any industry where information technology can be effectively employed to enhance profitability, either by increased efficiency and effectiveness, or by expanding market reach.

NettSite Internet Applications cc was registered in 2009.

Company Profile

NettSite provides software development services using open source technology and applications. The use of open source enables the focusing of project resources on people to design and develop business applications quickly and robustly, instead of allocating large budgets to development tools and production environment licenses.

NettSite has developed a development framework which enables rapid development of reliable and robust systems. This framework is based on PHP and MySQL, which are amongst the most used programming languages and databases on the internet, and probably the world. This framework enables NettSite to approach projects confidently, able to accurately budget development time and costs. The framework also provides enormous time  and cost savings for every NettSite project, which are passed on to the client.

Typical projects include the following:

Remote Document Scanning and Management

The client was faced with a problem transporting proof of delivery documents (POD’s) from several branches and depots to head office for filing, and for use in supporting invoices to their customers. Many POD’s were lost in transit, or incorrectly filed at head office, causing problems in collecting payments.

NettSite developed a method for remote branches and depots to scan POD’s using a scanner and a PC connected to the internet. The scanned images are instantly stored on a central location at the head office, and indexed to the existing accounting system, so that the scanning process can be actively managed with reports showing which documents are not yet scanned.

Debtors clerks can now retrieve POD’s from the system efficiently, and instantly email or fax them to clients as needed, without needing to search through filing cabinets, make copies, replace documents and so on.

Content Managed Websites

NettSite specializes in websites which are dynamic, and are able to be changed and used by the businesses which own them, with little or no technical ability needed.

Examples of websites are:

• http://www.marounsgroup.co.za
• http://www.cruisetraveller.co.za
• http://www.turnberry.co.za
• http://www.bmisportinfo.co.za
• http://www.gam.co.za

Voice Over IP (VOIP)

NettSite has used an open source PABX system, Asterisk, to provide several innovative solutions for clients. We are able to provide PABX and other voice communication solutions very cost effectively.

Our Market Segments

Background
Traditional enterprise management software such as SAP and Oracle is based on predefined practices and processes that are shaped essentially by computer programming. It is currently widely recognised that such enterprise software is rigid, expensive and scales badly to complexity. Many are seeking solutions to these problems and numerous concepts have been introduced to address these issues, for instance SOA, BPM etc.

However, it is now recognised that the future lies in semantically based technologies. Such technologies, rather than expressing transactions and steps needed to be executed to update databases, allow for pure expression of meaning/knowledge and the resultant transactions/steps are automated. This results in a vast reduction in complexity and allows one to “talk” to a computer in more human terms. One should note the DIKW hierarchy.

Semantic technology allows one to move from information technology to knowledge technology. Also note the current interest in SBPM (Semantic Business Process Management) and more broadly the semantic web.  SAP and Oracle are investigating these trends. Nine years ago we recognised that IT was missing this semantic aspect and proceeded to research and develop entirely semantically based enterprise management software. Furthermore, internationally, there is a very strong trend towards internet based systems that deliver software as a service. ThoughtExpress is a vehicle to deliver Orfeo semantic enterprise management on the internet.

Business Benefits of Semantic Technology

The most important difference between traditional systems and semantic ones is that one can express precisely the operations/business rules of an enterprise directly in business terms rather than having to convert these to computer programs.

• The system moulds to the business rather than the business having to change its practices as a result of system constraints.
• Extremely rapid development process – new products and changes can be introduced in a fraction of the time.
• Semantic technology is self-healing: it is simple to recover from errors and disasters.
• Quality assurance is almost automatic as one is able to model past, current and future behavior of changes before they are committed.
• Since knowledge of the business is fundamentally and unambiguously incorporated, one can very precisely model future behavior of the enterprise.  The combined effect of these is that the enterprise management can be achieved at a fraction of the cost, with much greater agility and precision.
