Thinkingcap document introductions
Model Execution Architecture
The software industry now recognizes the power of models in the
battle against complexity in large enterprise systems. By capturing
as much information as possible about a business domain in a model,
rather than in code, applications become easier to understand, development
projects easier to manage, and brittle, tightly-coupled systems
are replaced by clearly ordered structures that are easier to change
as the business landscape shifts. This emerging approach is, however,
itself hampered by a lack of coherent tools and procedures. In particular,
once models have been designed and coding has started the models
are frozen into static documents, and much of their value is lost.

Railway track access compensation calculation
Schofield Lothian Transportation understand that the task of forecasting
and calculating Schedule 4 compensation payments is time-consuming,
unwieldy and error-prone, and has designed a software tool to solve
this problem. The tool can be used both to forecast the Schedule
4 compensation due for planned restrictions of use, and reconcile
payments against budgets, applicable timetables and Day 42 statements.

The Thinkingcap Platform
The software industry now recognizes the power of models in the
battle to manage complexity in large enterprise applications. By
capturing as much information as possible about a business domain
in models, rather than in code, applications become easier to understand,
development projects easier to manage, and brittle, tightly-coupled
systems are replaced by ordered structures that are easier to change
in response to changing needs. This emerging approach is, however,
itself hampered by a lack of coherent tools and procedures. In particular,
once models have been designed and coding has started the models
are frozen into static documents, and much of their value is lost.

Thinkingcap SNMP Toolkit
The Thinkingcap SNMP Toolkit permits handling of network management
data at the enterprise level. Any SNMP MIB (Simple Network Management
Protocol Management Information Base) can be held as a Thinkingcap
relational model. The full power of the Thinkingcap MEA engine can

web pages etc.

The Thinkingcap Way
Innovation is the lifeblood of business and the key to competitive
advantage but is frequently held back by IT. According to Gartner
only seven percent of Enterprise applications are replaced each
year. It is unsurprising therefore that many organisations have
a large applications development backlog representing many missed
business opportunities. Thinkingcap is a new, agile approach to
application building.
