3G Interactive, LLC is a global consulting firm headquartered in Los Angeles,
CA. From our founding, our focus has been on working with global companies
desiring to improve business processes, craft better business strategies,
develop new products, enhance customer relationships, enter new markets, or
build strong brands.
3G Interactive's Business Process Automation Group helps businesses to
leverage the Internet, telecommunications technologies, and workflow
applications to better manage how information and knowledge is processed,
transferred, and shared within the enterprise. While other solution providers
may focus on building a client a "great portal" or an extra/intranet, 3G
Interactive strives instead to truly understand the client's problem areas and
the impact that they have on the its core business and relationships with its
customers. This allows us to recommend the right solution for the customer.
At 3G Interactive, we believe that building from the bottom-up is the only
way to get the best return from process improvement dollars. Therefore, the
first step is usually a thorough investigation into our client's business
processes and if need be a re-mapping of its workflow for the identified problem
area(s). Once we have together developed a more effective way of achieving the
client's desired results, only then would we recommend an automated solution to
further reduce costs and increase productivity.

Aliroo offers a
comprehensive toolbox of content security solutions for document management and
workflow management systems.
The toolbox handles 4 major security threats –
Snooping (by encryption),
Counterfeiting
(by digital signatures),
Mishandling (by
invisible fingerprinting) and
Copyright Infringement (by digital
leashing of content).
The tools cover all types of content in electronic and
printed documents:
files (disk
folders, email attachments),
text
segments (paragraphs, database record
fields),
spreadsheet areas,
(columns, rows, rectangles)
digital
images, (forensic photographs,
Teleradiology, image archives)
scanned documents
paper printouts, and others.
The threats and documents combine to a coherent matrix
of solutions, offering value-added components to any document management or
workflow management system.
The most important tool in this matrix for electronic
workflow management, is PrivaSeal (text authentication). This is a digital
signature tool for Windows documents, offering the strength of tokens and
digital certificates, the aesthetics of true-type font human autographs, and the
simplicity of OLE objects. See this product in www.aliroo.com/privaseal.
The tools are very intuitive and suitable for any
Windows user, and combine the simplicity of Windows operations, the strength of
X-509 digital certificates and common hardware tokens, and the aesthetics of the
original formatted documents.
The tools, having been specially designed for document
security, have the common features of security software (simple, strong and
friendly) and enjoy some less common features that are important for practical
document management:
1. Security is selective - any part of any document can be protected, leaving
the other parts free.
2.
Protected documents preserve the format of the original documents - no
need to change anything in the document management system or procedures.
3.
The protected document is carrying its protection - protected documents
can be exchanged between heterogeneous systems without losing their protection)
4. The encryption strength is adjustable, offering the user an important
tradeoff between security and availability of documents, and -
5. The user
can be identified by a variety of identifiers, including digital
certificates, passwords, and many sorts of tokens.
Aliroo sells some of the tools as end-user products, and offers to
license the tools to leading vendors of document management and workflow
management systems.
A
general description of Aliroo can be found at http://www.aliroo.com/, and specific
information.
A brief overview of the content security tools can be seen through PowerPoint
slide show at www.aliroo.com/webmark

LookingGlass – Automated Process Productivity
Improvement
Avatar has designed and developed Looking Glass, a relatively new
technology providing workflow management and automated value chain management
capabilities specifically designed to address the challenges that are posed by
service sector business requirements and processes. A system that can bridge
multiple legacy business systems, deliver information wherever it is needed,
manage processes and people in real time while providing significant performance
improvements year after year. Improvements that add dolllars to the bottom line.
LookingGlass is far more than an Automated Workflow System (AWS), it is far
more than a Business Performance Management (BPM) system, it is far more than a
Management Information System (MIS), and it is far more than a Business
Intelligence (BI) system. Why?
1. It incorporates elements of all of these technologies carefully blended to
maximize its impact on performance rather than just measuring it
2. It starts out with the ability to manage each individual piece of work, which
allows it to influence and analyze performance in ways that BPM, MIS, and BI
systems cannot, and
3. It was built not to answer a technological need but to be responsive
to the management requirements that have proven to be so effective in
improving performance, such as Six Sigma. Looking Glass proactively manages the
workflow, captures and analyzes what is the best practice, documents what is
wrong, measures production results and presents them in universal metrics,
becomes a data warehouse of performance knowledge that is shared throughout the
business enterprise, and in the final analysis saves money, thereby enhancing
the bottom line.
LookingGlass increases productivity (typically 20-40% first year, 15-28%
second year and double digit returns each year thereafter), shorten cycle-times,
improve quality, provide key performance metrics, and enable realtime
interactive management of the entire workflow.
From real-time monitors for front line supervisors to executive dashboards for
senior management LookingGlass will improve the decision-making effectiveness of
the entire management team. And, its unique Process Organizer is the only
software that interactively manages how your staff executes their work,
providing every employee with the ability to see their work and improve their
own performance.
LookingGlass changes the dynamics of performance through its interactions
with staff as well as its management facilities. The result is a more empowered
and productive staff and interactive tools that increase the effectiveness of
every manager. In addition, LookingGlass will help your staff analyze and
develop enterprise performance management initiatives that drive effectiveness
and increase value for your company.

dramatically increase the work efficiency of telecom companies. Due to its
functions and architecture, Eventus has the added advantage that it can also
play a significant role in the integration of enterprise applications.
Reliable and Scalable
Eventus is a high availability, highly reliable and scalable system, specially
designed for use in critical business situations and optimized for a large

Hatton Blue are leaders in customer case management systems and
have developed and sell VectusTM The product is also
badged by Fujitsu ICL as Case Manager Desk Top (CMDT).
VectusTM is the effective I.T. solution for businesses
seeking case management. The product is particularly suited to professional case
workers who wish to retain control over their own work activities, rather than
have work pushed to them by fixed and rigid 'workflow' systems. Existing bank,
government and law firm customers have reported startling successes in achieving
their business aims. Applications, developed in only a few weeks, have increased
productivity by over 150 percent.
Case Management Concept
Organizations traditionally adopted the Adam Smith paradigm where
division of labor increased productivity by dividing work into piecemeal chunks.
With customers becoming ever more demanding, competition intensifying and rapid
change becoming a way of life, businesses today are finding this way of working
too restrictive. The case management approach employed by VectusTM
means a firm's workers are equipped to take control and responsibility for the
whole of the customer process; from request right through to fulfillment.
VectusTM
The system
consists of a number of user interface screens which provide users with the
facilities required to undertake the work at hand. The main view for the user is
based on a diary system and users are presented with a screen containing
activities to be completed on any day classified under three different headings;
Actions, Checks (quality samples for example) and Chases (tasks awaiting
external events). There is also a header bar which may be tailored to
accommodate any information for the case. Cases may be searched for on any
field, tailorable for any situation. Each 'Activity' in the case is described,
along with its the own definition of pre and post conditions, the data to be
captured from the user, documents produced and even the accounting transactions
which are expected. As work is completed, the system evaluates all other work in
the case identifying which tasks to activate. Each case may have any number of 'Filenotes'
(title and text as well as other files - word documents, images, sound etc.).
Rules Definition
Business rules for the process are prescribed by the process
definer layer and this environment is specifically designed for the
non-programmer to define the business rules without need to recourse to
hard-coding. Alternatively the developer might build up the order of Activities
using process modeling tools. In many cases the system is generated using a
mixture of both environments.
The object oriented nature of VectusTM
allows more flexibility than most 'workflow' systems as tasks do not necessarily
need to be completed in any particular order, but will have attributes which
dictate which tasks must have been completed and those which must follow. The
approach taken is not so much a software system used for routing purposes, but
an application shell which incorporates process support for the knowledge worker
acting on his or her initiative. VectusTM provides the
developer with ways of structuring their Activities into 'flows' to reflect
working practices.
The system also incorporates a concept known as 'Milestones'.
Milestones group Activities together to represent the major phases of work. The
milestone activity co-ordinates the preceding activities to ensure all that must
have been actioned have been completed.
Integration
The product is built on a three layer architecture allowing
complete database and system independence, with integration capabilities to
external email, fax and scheduling such as Microsoft Schedule+. There is also a
published set of API's.
VectusTM provides
capabilities to capture the financial transactions which may take place within a
case. The approach is one of setting up each case with its own account(s). As
transactions occur during the process the Account is modified accordingly. This
approach is designed to facilitate integration with accounting systems.
