VIA

VIA is an acronym for "Virtual Implementation Architecture". Opturo has pioneered the concept of a "Solutions Platform" that provides a stateless and modular API based approach to designing and implementing any process or custom application. It was initially conceived for the data heavy financial industry, in response to an inherent need to streamline and automate the numerous large and small processes that are spawned to support the investment decision making process. Its primary objective is to provide dramatic improvement, automation and oversight to the productivity, efficiency and quality of the data dependent processes. Since its core components have been built without "assumptions", it can be leveraged across any industry.

The platform was designed with a modular architecture, which allows for rapid and responsive development as new business challenges emerge. The platform is a true "bolt-on" solution, and may run in tandom with database(s), and integrate with any application(s) which are being used in clients' application and/or presentation layers.

Integrated Development Environment

The VIA IDE, or VIA Integrated Development Environment, provides VIA users a robust development platform to easily create VIA Processes. VIA IDE has been designed from the ground up to work specifically with the VIA Data Management Platform. VIA IDE allows users to create or edit any VIA configuration file. VIA IDE also empowers users with easier troubleshooting and process control. Whether you are a power user and a sophisticated coder, or have never read a line of code in your life, VIA IDE offers tools for all levels of users.

PDF Reader

Opturo’s PDF Readers can parse PDF files and automatically extract all relevant data after the initial setup/configuration using a simple wizard. The PDF Reader will only extract the data you’ve identified and configured using the wizard.

Extract, Transform, and Load

VIA’s inherent ETL capability can be leveraged to streamline and automate a variety of data aggregation processes. For instance, market data from a vendor files can be uploaded into a data warehouse in a matter of minutes without the need to write specialized scripts. Data can be imported from any readable format, transformed using an extensive library of arithmetic and analytical libraries, and there is complete flexibility on where and how data is exported. This flexible architecture results in the ability to offer end-to-end customization to meet each client’s unique business needs and requirements.

Scalability

The Opturo platform provides large enterprise users the functionality and tools necessary to scale in order to meet the demands and challenges of big data. The result is removing any scalability limitations from Opturo software – the only limitation are imposed by hardware.

For example, the unique Iterator technology offered by VIA, large amounts of data can be scrubbed, validated, and exported with minimal effort. Once the process has been configured, it can then be automated to repeat the process at a defined frequency (daily, weekly, monthly etc.).

The Distributed Computing module allows VIA processes to be split up between many machines or even between the CPUs on a single machine. This allows for any VIA process to scale linearly. Even tasks with numerous iterations can be run quickly and efficiently using distributed computing. There is also a monitoring web page that allows you to see the progress execution in real time. This powerful feature can be used to iterate or loop through the process for each change in global variable value.

Multi-threading functionality allows users to spawn an unlimited number of threads to break down jobs and processes in order to meet workflow and operational demands. For example, if 1,000,000 client accounts take 8 hours to calculate daily performance, the job can be broken into any number of threads to reduce the duration of the process. In this example, spawning 4 threads could cut the time to 2 hours.

ODIN

ODIN is Opturo's web-based platform which builds upon VIA to offer users a browser-based UI in order to run reports, run processes when ad hoc jobs are required, manage data related issues, and provide an attractive presentation layer. ODIN supports multi-language functionality and provides a number of design layouts from which users may choose. Applications are accessible and may be added in a modular fashion, and may include visualization tools, including configurable dashboards, charts, graphs, etc.

The App Builder application provides an efficient way for reports to be customized and distributed to the relevant users. Web Services are also part of the ODIN platform and provide access to all of the power of the VIA using a simple web call. This addition to the ODIN makes the integration process with 3rd party applications, including via API's, effective and efficient.

SAYS Platform

Software at Your Service (SAYS) is a PATENT PENDING, cache driven, cloud hosted platform which provides users with the tools to rapidly deploy custom solutions by leveraging the power of Opturo’s enterprise data management and analytics platform. SAYS may be used to build custom data models and address the data-related challenges firms face when confronting data conversions and/or system implementations. It may also be used to offer the same business intelligence and analytical functionality VIA provides, only within a cloud. SAYS eliminates the risks and and costs of long term contracts by offering a month-to-month pricing model.

Enterprise clients may also leverage the professional expertise of Opturo to assist in designing and deploying custom solutions utilizing the SAYS platform. This includes the ability to leverage SAYS to host your applications in the cloud and offer your clients convenient monthly pricing models and web-based support.
