Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the value of Corezoid for a company? Could you provide examples from real life?
Corezoid allows you to move from hardcoding to process assembly. It exponentially speeds up the entire company. Corezoid makes it much easier and faster to launch new products. People not acquainted with programming languages can work with Corezoid. Companies no longer need an army of developers. Managers and business analysts can focus on the most important issue – creation of solid business processes, rather than spending time writing Technical Design Assignments, in kick-off meetings, working with the IT department and waiting for testers. For example, there were 34 developers in Internet Banking Department at PrivatBank before Corezoid implementation. Now, nine people are able to cope with this work.Do I need to know programming languages to work with Corezoid?
No, there is no need for programming languages. Logical thinking and simple skills of algorithm development would be enough.What is Corezoid’s role in the software architecture of my company? Does it completely replace my software packages or integrate with them somehow?
Corezoid easily interacts with any software through an API. Therein lays the value of Corezoid – it is able to control the interconnection logic of multiple internal and external software systems. In tandem with the company’s development, at a certain point Corezoid can really replace other software solutions in full. For example, the availability of real-time dashboards in Corezoid provides the possibility to forgo software built for business intelligence. Accounting processes being customized in Corezoid allows to stop using outdated software in the accounting department.Why is Corezoid better than Activiti, Jbpm, Microsoft Logic Apps, Bpmonline, IBM BPM and other BMP/ERP/CRM systems?
As all objects and their possible states are described directly in the system, Corezoid allows you to configure and manage the same processes easier and faster. Any condition instantly generates new processes in Corezoid. Processes generate new data that, in turn, generate the new state…and so on ad infinitum. BPM systems are not propelled by a state, but from processes. Firstly, a BPM system waits for a certain signal, an external impact, to start the process. Then, when the process is completed, it has the last, final result. Corezoid does not wait for external signals. When all the company processes are linked into a single ecosystem, and the objects are described in terms of finite state machines, a change in one place in the company instantly generates a series of processes. In fact, Corezoid allows you to change it. The company starts to operate as a single, coherent, living organism.Can I use Corezoid for a highload project?
Yes. PrivatBank, one of the largest bank in Eastern Europe runs on the Corezoid process engine, with 16 million customers.
