We are working with a client under our sponsored development scheme to provide an e-learning module with the upcoming Claromentis 7 – and today we had the first prototype review with the client, the lead information architect and staff from Claromentis sales and marketing.
E-learning Prototype Review
I thought some aspects of the meeting were really instructional.
The value of the prototype
Following on from the initial scoping meeting the client had provided a well thought out specifications comprising several pages of written specifications. Comparing the understanding from the written specifications with the prototype that we created is just inspiring – how any company would want to code business logic straight from written specifications is beyond me.
The value of the framework
Coding in the Claromentis framework gives us so much access to instantly available and powerful functionality – such as permission systems, universal tagging, business processes – applications can be coded so much faster and with greatly increased quality.
The value of Claromentis 7 Standards
Now that the design standards of Claromentis 7 are available in the custom development team everything is so much more consistent, giving a much better end user experience as they move from standard platform products to their custom applications.
All in all a great meeting and we look forward to the second iteration – the prototype can be shared with all stakeholders in the client team and round two will just be a few days away!
Here at Claromentis we are eagerly awaiting our forthcoming software release, Claromentis 7. So far over 1000 man hours has been dedicated into the project, with every minute component meticulously designed. Each day a crowd forms around Alan’s (our head designer) computer as he shows off new features, designs and updates. With mouths wide open and a sea of index fingers pointing at the screen, it is safe to say that we are more than impressed.
However don’t fret- with a series of blogs I will provide snippets of Claromentis 7, you can also share our excitement and anticipation!
Below is a screen shot of the new Document Management System. The fresh new design speaks for itself – with extensive thought, planning and piloting making this document management system an intelligent tool that will positively impact any organisation.

Most whiteboards have a relatively uneventful life, their mere existence revolves around gathering dust and living in the hope that one day a spider diagram will grace their shiny surface. With each day passing their enthusiasm soon grows limp, however as the festive season grows near feelings of optimism and excitement begin to wash over them, as mistletoe illustrations on all whiteboards along with tinsel ties are a company must.
Here at Claromentis our whiteboards often contain the initial stages of an innovative idea or a custom application. They are often used by our clients who visit us here at our office in Brighton to discuss their requirements, and to explain their business processes. Some ideas are more complicated than others but we can create a comprehensive solution for each and every one. Some ideas even spill onto two boards but our developers take the illustrations and turn them into actual software solutions that create real business value for our clients.
One of our clients had a vision of creating a portal that brought together their support team, effectively allowing them to share ideas, information and collaborate on different projects.
With their excitement and vision, and our innovative developers, we worked in close partnership with our client to successfully develop a portal that united their team and brought real benefits to their organisation.
Take a look at the brilliant video below, the video showcases this unique software solution developed and designed with our clients specific needs and requirements in mind.

Great to have had an enjoyable day this week with our external quality management auditors, and to have been approved for another year as a high quality company under the ISO 9001 framework.
Of course it is doubly interesting to have achieved this as we use our own framework and software products to assist us in our quality control. Specifically we use
We don’t use bookshelf, as we have only one brand and a reasonable number of policies that can be managed by PDF and application files
Audit manager for all of our internal audits
Business Process Manager for many processes that we use and our auditors need to inspect – such as complaints procedures and product change requests.
So it’s a great experience for us to be monitored and inspected as users of our own software.
I am pleased to say that we enjoyed the day – we certainly felt that our own software is very much helping us to improve our quality and our auditors agreed!
Here at Claromentis we experience great excitement when we are on the verge of embarking upon a client visit, we have travelled far and wide clocking up a considerable amount of air miles as our clients span 5 continents. With many clients also based within the UK, we have often made the journey to their offices by train with our laptops in tow.
Last week Mike and Julian visited one of our clients in Canada, the arctic terrain, 10 hour flight and the possibility of stumbling across an angry bear certainly did not deter or diminish their excitement.
It was a very insightful meeting allowing Claromentis to really understand their specific business requirements; as the organisation has recently experienced growth and development, there has been an increased need to streamline business processes to help contribute to the organisations overall efficiency. The organisation also expressed a desire for an application that enabled certain departments to add and update both content and images to their website effortlessly, eliminating the need for assistance from the IT department.
They were extremely pleased to discover that Claromentis offer comprehensive solutions for all their specific needs and requirements; our business process management software is designed to improve processes, capture data and shorten cycle time. We have also developed a comprehensive application called CMS (content management system) that equips organisations with the tools to edit images and content on their website without difficulty.
