Technical overview of the Fl@World™ next-generation integration technology. It is ready to deploy on-site or in the cloud.

1. INTRODUCING Fl@WORlD™

2. Fl@WORlD is an integration platform that overcomes the
limitations inherent in today’s technology. It provides
any-to-many support, access control, taxonomy
matching, realtime notification, fine-grained
compliance and providence tracking within
a simple, lightweight and inexpensive solution.
Fl@WORlD substantially lowers the costs, risks and lead times
of integration projects and enables unprecedented
levels of enterprise agility.

Traditional
integration costs
increase at an
increasing rate
Fl@WORLD costs are linear
The demand to integrate data and applications is
increasing at an increasing rate
However, traditional integration platforms fail
to simplify integration complexity
This is due to the limitations of the underlying
Extract-Translate-Load (ETL) model

Fl@World™ is being deployed as the back-end for a permission-based social network.
The front-end is an angular.js application. It is being deployed initially on Azure, but is
portable to AWS or another providers.
Fl@World™ is providing:
• Encrypted data storage and per-person privacy protection
• Server Side Event notification for new posts/comments/activities
• Authentication/Authorisation
• Per-person search i.e. an individual can search on only what they are permitted to
see
• Per-person customisation of home-area (look, feel etc.) i.e. private personal "spaces"
• Extensible platform for games/apps to be added
• Permission based sharing of information and contacting of other members
To deliver the functionality using traditional tech (e.g. MySQL as backend, node.js as
middleware, cloud services for notification) and then add authentication and authorisation,
encryption, search and additional blob storage for customisation of the personal spaces,
plus the controls/compliance and endpoints required for it to be used for app and games,
would take months of work and be commercially unviable to support, let alone build.

10. Expertise
Fl@WORlD was written by Michael McDonald.
His experience includes:
• Designing, building and Billing and Customer Care and
Operational Support Systems for Telecommunications
companies (Tier 1 and 2) globally.
• Designing and deploying very large Knowledge Management
systems for Shell International (hundreds of affiliates world wide
24/7, thousands of users)
• Building full-stack mobile apps and platforms for Silicon Valley
Human Resources company (10 billion records) using Amazon
Web Services
• Numerous large scale technology deployment projects globally
(EMEA, Asia Pac, US)
• Startup-through-Fortune 500 management experience

11. Fl@WORlD is a light weight technology that can be deployed
on a public or private cloud or via a simple
package provided to DevOps
Pricing
Licence US $1 per integration point per month
Training One day US $2,000
Support 10 hr block US $2,000

12. Next Steps
Fl@WORlD is interested in speaking with systems integrators,
developers and organisations who have integration
projects in the near term and would be willing to
undertake controlled piloting of the technology
for a substantial discount.
