Gartner suggests at least two-thirds of all IT spending is just to sustain the
business, not to change or transform the business.
The focus of IT control has shifted to Line of Business (LoB) where applications needed to serve business need are
easily ‘rented’. The perception is that corporate IT departments are brittle and overly governed.
IT is in transition from information management to making data super useful.
At the heart of “making information super useful” is looking closely at the intersection of people, processes, and
information. One survey found that 72% of people admit to using unsanctioned cloud applications. Business units
want access to productivity tools that integrate into the organization that relieve the burden and stress of the
departments.
Programming is the largest employer and biggest inhibitor to IT innovation.
It makes building applications more complex, unpredictable… and produces more complex projects and
applications with more bugs demanding more tuning and testing. Perhaps the biggest challenge is that
programming creates an ‘us and them’ between IT and the business. It means IT cannot be embedded into change
teams or hope to respond to the agile business demands of stakeholders in a digital age. It is no longer ‘fit for
purpose’.
Encanvas is a totally codeless application life-cycle.
Encanvas uniquely de-skills situational applications development and support.
Powering a Paradigm Shift in Consumerised Enterprise Computing

“Anything new and different is initially going to
be misunderstood. It will be misunderstood by
well-meaning critics, who are worried it might
not work out. It will be misunderstood by self-
interested critics, who have a profit stream
connected to the old way. If you can’t weather
this kind of criticism, then whatever you do,
don’t do anything new.”
Amazon founder Jezz Bezos.

The majority of businesses are already undergoing a
formal digital transformation effort
“Is your organization undergoing a
formal digital transformation
effort in 2014?”
8. www.encanvas.com
For digital transformation to succeed LoB managers need
to harvest, analyze and act on useful information
When the majority of IT spend is allocated
to keeping the lights on…
…the people that make your
business decisions, drive change,
growth, innovation and customer
experience are left without the
fit-for-purpose apps they need.
In the digital age, businesses run on data. Traditional enterprise IT has no ‘engine’ to produce
the situational applications that businesses need affordably, repeatedly or quickly enough.

Contextualizing Encanvas to modern IT Trends
•Uses geo-spatial intelligence to plot assets, show business intelligence on top of
maps (incl. Googlemaps), and drill-though to detailed dashboards, charts, reports…
•End-point security tooling validates data format and ‘checks’ before data is uploaded
from sensors and data end-points.
•Apply business intelligence applications to turn ‘data’ from IoT into enterprise
applications to create new digital value chains.
Internet of Things
•Harvests big data with integration to all major databases including SAP, Oracle, IBM
DB2, MySQL and SQL Server. Incorporates advanced extract, transform technologies
and machine-to-machine flow management tooling including quarantining,
normalization, de-duping, cleansing etc.
•Analyzes it with business intelligence, geo-spatial intelligence, drill-through charts
and self-service reports. Applies relative date and natural language search.
•Act on data by creating new applications using workshop agile codeless authoring.
Big Data
•Formalizes cross functional and cross-community workflows incorporating both
machine-to-machine and human-to-machine workflows.
•Includes email automation and escalation features.

Real-Time Application Prototyping
Applications design is a wasteful
process. The article ‘Why Your IT
Project May Be Riskier Than You
Think’ by HBR (Nov 2011)
followed a survey of 1,471 IT
projects with an average spend of
$167m and found:
• The average overrun was 27%
• One in six of the projects
studied was a ‘black swan’, with
a cost over-run of 200%.
• Almost 70% of black swan
projects also over-ran their
schedules.
Encanvas removes project over-
run risk and delivers best-fit apps
on time and on budget.
Cut IT Head-Count

represents around *12% of total IT
resourcing (Source: Gartner)
Encanvas ‘codeless’ design and
deployment methods cut IT
staffing levels required for app
dev. & support by a factor of 10.

Serve the Long-Tail of Apps Needs
While companies invest heavily in
primary systems they lack the
resources to meet all demands.
Encanvas uniquely enables the
rapid and repeated delivery of
situational apps so IT can keep up
with agile business demands.

Unify Operations
As businesses grow they develop
silos of data and function creating
inefficient and often disconnected
processes…
Encanvas bridges across data silos to
create joined up process workflows
without necessitating a proliferation
of apps, tools and expert IT skills.
Dr Eli Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints is
well known to organizational consultants. It
states that the core constraint of virtually
every organisation is that organisations are
structured, measured and managed in
parts, rather than as a whole. This results
in lower-than-expected performance with
constraints constantly shifting from one
place to another and chronic conflicts
between people representing different
parts of the organisation.
Secure Enterprise Data
Today’s online connected
communities demand secure
federated access to shared data
assets anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
Encanvas installs a federated
identity management environment,
adds richer end-point security with
more layers of web access security
than any other platform to create
virtually unhackable apps.

Remove Barriers Between IT and

situational applications. Formalising
and communicating these needs with IT
experts can be a challenge.

Act on What Matters
One Encanvas platform supports
the design, deployment and
operation of near-limitless numbers
of situational applications to equip
knowledge workers with the cross-
functional apps they need to
eradicate the inappropriate use of
desktop tools and the ‘shadow
data’ they create.
Encanvas has been purposely
designed to create applications
that change over time with the
economics to ‘throw away’ apps
that serve a purpose for a limited
time.
