What you get

In a rapidly changing business world, this is the time value of a data or business model that matters. New ideas have to instantly get operational within a human readable data or process framework. Placed between a spreadsheet and an enterprise level system, the PL-Tool is a portable meso-scale rapid analysis and prototyping do-it-yourself package that provides you with the key capabilities to intuitively design, operate and manage your professional environment by yourself or together with your business peers.

  • Design

    As an innovative business developer you explore your data and process landscape, design the dataflow or the workflow model as you need, code the logic elements in a language of your choice and put it all together in order to make it ready for your organisation

  • Operate

    As an experienced operative officer you conveniently oversee your working environment, run your regular business in a solid and documented way and effectively communicate and distribute your results

  • Manage

    As a matured technology manager you secure your organisation needs with an adequately scalable and policy compliant system infrastructure, oversight and mitigate the related data and process complexities and benefit from additional resources contributing into a controlled code base
