Why Magoo Software?

Business processes and applications based on XML and distributed architectures (SOA/MOM) will invariably require user intervention such as data-entry, error-handling and approval.

 

With Magoo Software you can avoid having to develop and maintain the expensive, custom code required to allow users interact with XML messaging applications. Simply plug Magoo Software into existing architectures to provide direct user interaction with message flows.

 

 

Use Cases

gear Data Entry: Support accurate data-entry and message creation using powerful forms based on standard XML and JavaScript. MagooClient supports an XML templating model for pre-populated forms to speed up data entry and validation. Unlike browser applications, form population can be preformed in stages as the Magoo message store capability allows drafts to be saved for future completion.

gear Approval and Task Management: Route essential human intervention steps within business processes to Magoo Software via standard queues or Web Service requests to allow users populate or approve business documents. Magoo Server provides full multi-user authentication and task authorization to facilitate the approval process.

gear System Monitoring and Error-Handling: Provide operations staff with a direct view onto message streams including event and dead-letter queues. Rules can be easily configured to forward messages to Email/SMS or other alerting systems. Messages from multiple transport types (Web Service, JMS etc.) can be combined into a single inbox view.

 

Core Features

gear Range of Protocol Adapaters: Magoo products plug directly into a range of messaging infrastructures including JMS, MOM, Email, Web Services and File. No coding or knowledge of protocols required - simply provide the relevant details in a single configuration dialog and click on OK to connect. Various reply-to models are supported to allow messages to be returned to the appropriate system endpoint after editing or approval.

gear No Infrastructure Development: Both standalone MagooClient and the multi-user MagooServer products provide their own message storage capability based on the popular MySQL RDBMS. Therefore no additional development of broker or message storage capability is required.

gear Full XML/SOAP Support: Magoo Software has developed complete Schema and WSDL support from the ground up to provide powerful data validation during both message transmission and editing. Users can instantly detect errors thereby reducing overheads associated with incomplete or erroneous data. The use of automatic and customizable form-rendering ensures that users are protected from the details of XML structure. This approach combines full XML validation with the ease-of-use of a browser form.

gear Rapid Deployment: As Magoo products are code-free, users can be working with message streams in a matter of minutes. This also provides an excellent fast-track mechanism for prototyping and testing message flows within a messaging fabric. Initial deployments can start with a single MagooClient instance costing just EUR500 and scale up to large multi-user deployments through the addition of a central MagooServer.
