BUSY Enterprise Solution

Although most of the requirements of a business organisation are met by using the standard BUSY software, some organisations do have certain specific requirements that are not available in standard BUSY. For such organisations, BusyWin (Windows-based BUSY) offers the possibility of customisation. The customisation could be in terms of:

• Generation of some Organisation-specific Report / MIS
• Generation of Organisation-specific Data Entry Screens

Such a solution, consisted of a standard BusyWin coupled with the customised software developed as per the requirement of the organisation, is termed as BUSY Enterprise Solution.

To understand the concept of the same, we will first have to understand the architecture of BusyWin.

BusyWin (BUSY 3.0) has been designed using three-tier architecture.

First tier is the front-end. This tier accepts inputs from the user and gives the desired reports.

Second tier is business logic that is invoked by the front-end (first tier) to write or read data from the databases.

Third tier is the actual databases where the data is stored.

Now, if an organisation wants a customised Report / MIS or Data Entry Module, that is not provided in Standard BusyWin, the same can be developed by any third party software developer using the functions provided in the second tier of BusyWin. To maintain the integrity of databases, direct access to BUSY databases is not allowed.

Future Roadmap

The concept of BUSY Enterprise Solutions is still in the initial phase, though we have already done some prestigious projects. A broad roadmap for us from here would be as below:

1. Build a detailed document on functions provided by the second tier of BUSY.
2. Build a community of software developers, who can customise BUSY and deliver BUSY Enterprise Solutions. Such developers would be called BUSY Certified Developers.
3. Identify partners with capability of delivering BUSY Enterprise Solutions. Such partners would be called BUSY Solution Partners. Such partners would also be encouraged to write standard utilities around BUSY. These utilities, after due testing and quality control, would also be promoted through BUSY Channel Partners.

BUSY offers a range of accounting softwares to cater to the needs of different business segments. The primary editions offered by BUSY are Basic, Standard & Enterprise.

Whereas Basic edition is available in 1 variant (Single-User) only - Standard & Enterprise editions are available in 3 variants (Single-User, Multi-User and Client-Server) each.

Training

As the user base of BUSY is growing, the need for BUSY-trained accountants is also growing proportionately. To address the same, Busy Infotech has now started setting up BUSY Training Centres. These training centres are called BUSY Academy. Students passing out from these institutes are called BUSY Certified Accountants (BCA).

The admission to BCA Course is done on the basis of an eligibility test that is conducted by the respective academy. The test consists of objective type questions on accounting and computers. The successful candidates are entitled to join the academy. The unsuccessful candidates can go through a one-month pre-BUSY course at the academy to prepare themselves for admission to BCA Course at the BUSY academy.

After the conclusion of course, a written test is conducted by the respective academy with the guidelines of Busy Infotech. The successful candidates are issued BCA Certificate by Busy Infotech. Performance grade of the student is mentioned on the certificate. The unsuccessful students can appear for examination again in the next cycle of tests.

The database of successful students is maintained by Busy Infotech and is also proposed to be posted at the company website in near future. Busy Infotech will also help in the placement of such students with BUSY Users and Channel Partners.
