Tech stuff (for the geeks)
Conceptual background
- Process is the core, it's the activities that creates the results and not vice versa.
- Real world objects are as simple as they get. Don't mash them up into documents that has your name and address in same data object - you're not a a house! You're only related to a house object.
- The relations adds knowledge and context so you can find what you look for when you need it. That's how Plato defined knowledge: "How objects relates to other objects".
- Processes can be divided into two types:
- Easily Repeatable Processes (ERPs) - the routine, predictable stuff like production and payroll.
- Barely Repeatable Processes (BRPs) - the unpredictable, knowledge work, services, health, governments and your every day life.
- ERP is a subset of BRP, your barely repeatable life consists of many discrete but easily repeatable processes loosely linked.
Thingamy is made to do BRPs in a highly effective and logical way, hence it can do ERPs as well.
User experience
Thingamy is in the cloud, using browsers only, and is particularly created for mobile devices like tablets.
The architecture allows full layout flexibility, the system is multitenant on many levels and completely scalable.
User main area gives the tasks or the report views all dynamically created on in real time. The sidebar gives access to the report views as per role while what you can do or see is dynamically set during the flows - the system knows what you shall be allowed to see or do depending on where in a process you are and how are you related to objects.
Here's a simple view of a constituent's requests given his local council - including who's responsible just now and what's happening (if set for that level of transparency).
A request flow has been started:
Select responsible and set priority:
Once done it will now appear as a task for the local council worker chosen, where he will delegate or answer directly - each step smoothly following each other with automatic delivery of all needed to the right person at the right time.
Building models
Thingamy has two separate interfaces to the live instance - this is the "builder" where anything can be built from scratch or changes can be done even while live. Complex systems takes only days to create from scratch, once up and running changes can be done in minutes.
The build usually starts with "what value are you going to deliver" as it gives you the "datamodel" - the first classes, the cookie cutters that stamps out unique objects. Here's what a class consist of (properties and other settings) for the local council build:
Objects relates to each other, that's how knowledge applies and how the system can find the right object at the right time. These relations can be changed in the flows at any time to control who sees what and gets what tasks:
A relation is an n-triple - subject, predicator, object:
Queries are needed to find the right stuff, here's the list from the council build:
Queries are combination of and, or, not, etc etc and above all; what relationship has the viewer with the objects found:
Here's the list of ERP snippets for the council build, each having user chosen forks and operators that punts the flow to some next other ERP snippet:
The flows consists of any sequential set of instructions, the red are user involving tasks, green are for back end object manipulation, grey, blue and yellow is about the flow. All drag and drop of course:
Opening an instruction allows the builder to set the details, who, what etc.:
Reports uses queries (as does accounts, but they're number crunching oriented of course) and starts with base reports that can be combined to lists with related object or columns or mashed up reports of the other:
Base report settings:
Related report:
Lastly the roles defines only what reports can be had and what flows can be intiated directly:

We're a small group of highly experienced business and domain experts.
Among us we have started 11 companies, done 5 LBOs, advised in many M&As and run a multiple of these companies.
We set out to solve a very basic and hugely important issue for humanity: how to create more value and prosperity for more people, organisations and businesses while using less resources.
Translated to daily use this means systems that can seamlessly and effectively run the value creation flows; the patient, the people, the product, the information and the workflows - for small businesses to whole nations.
Before offering any product we spent more than ten years in the laboratory, creating and designing a completely unique solution that will surprise and delight you, and that will eventually increase your value creation manyfold, not by mere percentages.
We believe that there is only one proof for such a claim, and that can only be found in the product itself - so let us show you what it can do and how it works. You will be exited, as this is precisely what you've been waiting for.
Please contact us at any time.
