Transcription

1 Idhasoft is a global world-class organization providing best-of-breed localized business and technology solutions, with continuous innovation and quality backed by best-in-class people Case Study - Master Data Management App Client Requirement Client is a leading systems integration company that offers a variety of services spanning all industry verticals. Client required an ipad application for an effective master data management in order to keep the enterprise clean of bad data and increase the corporate efficiency. This app enables the client s BU team to work in conjunction with external data in mash-up application. Client required the following: Managing data entities and their relationships Connect with customers o Manage customer details o View customer s geo-location o View updates/news about customers o Connect via /phone/skype etc. Enabling sales representatives to find (call/visit) a customer Search for customers in the current or nearby location (using geo-fencing technology) Facility to add new data or update the existing data while on the go Comprehensive search, location-based search etc. Managing massive data with compromising on performance

2 Case Study - Master Data Management App Challenges Team faced the following challenges: - To maintain, update, edit and fetch Core Data objects and attributes, due to the huge structure of database schema, during the entire scope of the application. - Connecting with the Siperian base hub module to fetch responses. - Creating generic storyboard layout for the entire screen of the project. - Integrating 3 rd Party Graphkit library to show tree-like structure. Technologies Used Xcode Storyboard Sqlite Framework ios sdk 5.0 Core Data Framework Xcode is an tool also called as IDE used to develop ios and Mac applications. It is an main component of Xcode toolset. It groups most of the tool you need to develop software in a streamlined and interactive user interface. Storyboarding enables you to use Interface Builder to specify not only all the screens in your application, but the transitions between them and the controls used to trigger the transitions. This framework allows developers to quickly create and use a local SQLITE within iphone, ipad, ipod devices. ios is a software development kit used to develop iphone, ipad applications specific to OS versions as required by the user. The Core Data framework provides generalized and automated solutions to common tasks associated with object life-cycle and object graph management, including persistence.

3 Case Study - Master Data Management App Manpower Project Leader 1 Developers 1 Planning The following development approach was adopted to equip the site with numerous features and functionality mentioned before: Introduces high level of server and data fetching technology. Research and analysis has been scheduled to get the actual level of output of data, which are in the form of different verticals and business logics. Development High Level Coding Standards has been followed for managing backup data volume, simultaneously synchronization with server for recent updates. Syncing existing and newly available data for backup with our database required specific attention. This helped in result generation. The User Interface Layer, which forms the Graphical User Interface of the website. Development Highlights This application for ipad is built around objective C and core data framework. The design for each screen is implemented using the storyboard framework, which is newly integrated for ios 5.0. This application was also made compatible to ios sdk 5.1 at a later stage. Almost all the modules are developed using foundation, core graphics and UIKIT frameworks. All the user interface items are placed in view controllers using storyboard and all the view controllers are linked with the controller files project along with the outlets, actions of the UI element. Core data framework is used to maintain and store all the details across the project scope. A third party library called as Graphkit library is used to implement graphs i.e. a tree-like structure. The site was developed and fully functional within a span of 5 months
