ESFramework — Easily develop interactive TM1 web applications

CarpeDatum Consulting provides business intelligence services and solutions enabling clients to monitor, analyze and plan their businesses.

Sibers developed for CarpeDatum Consulting a JavaScript framework for building web applications connected to Enterprise Services — web services middleware for IBM Cognos TM1.

ESFramework is a set of components, leveraging KendoUI and operating in conjunction with Enterprise Services. The components (or widgets) are purely configuration based, but provide all the functionality you would expect in a large-scale, widely deployed and highly performing application, such as context awareness, inter-widget communication, routing, auto sizing, data collection, data validation and writeback to the data source based on user input.

ESFramework is designed to require almost no programming skills, but still retain the power to build custom, interactive and easy to use applications. Drag-and-drop interface allows the user to construct fully operational web application simply by dragging widgets.

ESFramework provides an opportunity to:

• Incorporate advanced controls such as buttons, calendars, drill-downs, interactive charting, smart grids, repeating tables, rich text, numbered lists and optional sections
• Include data validation and business logic
• Interact with TM1 Views, subsets, processes and chores
• Execute TM1 processes as an administrative user without circumventing security policies and procedures
• Simultaneously read and import data into TM1 and relational data sources
