Publisher's Description:
From RSEInfo
RSEPaw is a free Web software which permits creation, management and use of a large number of applications in your Intranet and Extranet Web site. RSEPaw is thought for all kind of organizations (even if very small).
RSEPaw is at once:
# a Web applications generator. Without knowledge in computers and without programming, you can build and parameter in few minutes, your own applications of management. The applications can be freely linked between them and some behaviours are standardized ( users profile administration, authentications, ... ).
# a configurable Web site (Intranet or Extranet) through which users reach to the created applications. A full Web site can be built, but RSEPaw can be easyly inserted into an existing Web site.
# a great tool for diffusion and follow-up. The interfacing possibilities prolong the use of old and performing softs, but which are not user-friendly, hard or impossible to diffuse and expend.
# a storage tool, which sets obsolete the concept of files server.
# an analysis tool, with the large sorts of reports and listings which can be easily created.
# a users and access profile manager for the created applications.Users are created for all applications.
# a manager for the technical maintenance of created applications : manual or automatic purge and saving, import-export settings, etc
Functionalities
# Follow-up applications with processing steps
# CMS applications (content management).
# Reservation, registration and order applications.
# APIs to develop your own applications which rely on the internal manager. When the standard functionalities are inadequate for specific needs.
# Standard applications:
-Technical administration.
-Home page manager.
-Internal email, which can be an email client too (as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird).
-One database of people and companies for all applications. It let you manage organizational flow charts and phone books too.
# All applications are integrated, that is to say they can be freely linked to create more complex applications.
# Manual or automatic imports/exports (at defined times each day). So, possibility to synchronize RSEPaw's applications whith any external software which allows import/export (through files or directly in databases if it structure is known).
# Listings, statistical reports or alert reports with graphs or not.
# Printing in secure PDF files.
# Record's attachments.
# Automatic generation of documents (RTF format which is readable by any word processing software) from one or several records.
# Possibility to store the applications in different databases.
# Languages management. A same record can be stored in several languages.
# Record's modifications monitoring.
# Alert messages (in the internal email).
# User authentication for all applications.
# Free or authenticated access to applications in consulting mode. Always authenticated access in updating mode.
# Centralized technical administration of the applications and the Web site

- Manual or automatic backup/restoration, purge and archiving.
- Languages (un)installation.
- Software upgrades.
- Disk cache management (to not rebuild a Web page at each time it is called).
- Tools to correct or unblock the applications when a problem occurs.

RSEPaw has a lot of goodies to settle some problems which are well-known from administators and users. In a non exhaustive way :
new posting of a user, without warn an administrator; old records joining when the internal organizational flow chart changes; multilingual record's management; estimation of the time processing at each step; integration of datas of various sources (for example, RSEPaw allows the registration of external reports to access and to view as the internals do); etc.
Technical features
As all Web programs, RSEPaw must be installed on a Web server.
# Web Apache server with PHP5/MySQL/ODBC
# Sufficient disk Espace for the disk cache and the backups.
# ODBC databases, MySQL database or XML files.
# XML datas storing. In theory, RSEPaw can run only with XML files. In practice, the performances decrease with the number of records and the number of simultaneous users.
# Software in PHP/XML/XSL/Javascript/Ajax. UTF-8 characters coding.
