FAQS
FREQUENTLY-ASKED-QUESTIONS

32. Access
Access to the platform is via any modern browser (IE10, IE11, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera
+). The platform is also built using the principles of ‘responsive design’ and so can be
accessed from any device from PCs and tablets to Smartphones. Off line capability is
using csv export and import routines
Apps Complexity
Applications can range from simple stand-alone apps such as a risk register, to complex
that are linked together, driven by workflow and synchronised to 3rd party systems via APIs
App build
Certified AppBuilders use the integrated AppStudio to design, configure and deploy apps
using an 8-step process in hours and with zero coding
Business Continuity
The platform is used by many of the world’s leading organisations and Governments, and
data is always held in a secure environment, controlled by clients and exported at any time
Data input
Data can be entered into the platform in 3 ways: 1) manual data input, 2) export/ import via
csv, and 3) real-time data synchronisation with 3rd party systems via APIs. CSV import is
to complete a one-off migration of client data. The Softools API is a JSON (JavaScript
Notation) based RESTful API with authentication via “OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password”
flow with support for refresh tokens.
Data validation
Data field parameters and logic based on field type will validate data input is consistent
complete. Specific fields can be set to be mandatory. Specific input forms can be visible or
hidden using workflow based on user team or field values
Infrastructure
The platform is deployed in a multi-tenant (or dedicated) web hosting environment. The
default is MS Azure. It is therefore instantly secure, scalable and stable.
Languages
The platform is configured to allow users to use the dynamic translation feature in modern
web-browsers (mainly MS Bing and Google Translate). This allows users in different
regions / countries to work on a common platform in their own language. It is also
possible for App Builders to ‘hard code’ all system labels in local languages
Performance
Speed of access if largely determined by local bandwidth via wireless / wired network
connections or via 3G / 4G mobile networks. The size of the app will also determine how
much data in transferred and will impact speed, as will the proximity of the database to the
user (latency). However, dramatic advances in web technology will continue to enable
faster data transfer speeds, and the potential to work off-line (using emerging html5
technologies)
Scale
The platform can scale from 1 app and user to 1,000s of apps and over 1,000,000 users for
a single client
Security
Softools is used by banking, military and nuclear organisations world-wide and can be
locked down to any level. Access to the platform is on a named user basis which
determines what a user can see (security) and what they can do (permissions). Single Sign
On (SSO) is possible but does not form part of a standard deployment
Support
Users gain first line support from context sensitive help built into each app and platform
screen. Second line support is then provided by internal certified Program Leaders and
Administrators. Third line support is provided to certified Administrators via phone, email
and WebEx.
Training
Users and App Builders are trained in workshops using an ‘action learning’ approach: Level
1 - Basic User (2 hours), Level 2 – Super-Users / Administrators (+2 hours), Level 3 – Site
Administrators (+2 hours), Level 4 – Basic App Builders (+ 1 day), and Level 5 – Advanced
App Builders (+ 2 days)
