as a Service
Thanks to Eureka5’s SaaS approach, the client is spared the creation of often very complex service descriptions and detailed concepts – as well as involvement in time-consuming IT development projects. Eureka5 is ready for immediate use, all necessary preparations have already been made.
Our clients, their implementing bodies and the beneficiaries who use Eureka5 confirm: on one hand, the system makes daily work and system security easier; On the other hand, the EU Commission assesses system and project controls more positively.
Eureka5 features:
- Multi-tenant capability: several tenants share an installation with secure data separation
- Style templates for corporate identity / client-specific appearance of the application have been implemented
- Our hosting providers have been obliged to ensure that the applications are operated in a secure, standardized environment. They offer quick capacity adjustment when needed, as well as reconfiguration options and new systems as required.
- Standard / basic workflows are defined and set up
- A show room application is available
Centralized and useable from anywhere
The technical architecture
Eureka5 is a centrally operated software that can be operated by all users via a web browser. No local components have to be installed at the workplace and Eureka can be accessed from anywhere, regardless of the user’s location. All current browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.) are supported without additional extensions.
Maintenance and care is carried out exclusively on the server side – centrally on the intranet or internet. All communication is encrypted via SSL / HTTPS and protected against any unauthorized third party access.
The technical architecture of Eureka5 is based on Java as the programming language and runtime and JBoss EAP (Enterprise Application Platform) as the application server. Data is stored in an Oracle database system.
Because all operations are carried out centrally and all data is stored in a centralized repository, there is no need whatsoever to compare information in the form of classic documents. All users always have access to the most current data and process the information relevant to them according to their roles and rights. All changes are saved centrally and are immediately available to all other users.
Adjustments and software updates are also carried out centrally – local adjustments or updates are not required.
Modular and flexible
The Eureka data model
Eureka’s high degree of flexibility for process modeling relies on a few essential modules:
- Flexible business objects with any desired status
- Configurable and expandable features
- Detailed roles and rights concept including user administration User Management
- Configurable forms and expandable form elements
- Free fund structure design with basic multi-tenant capability
- Flexible data fields and nomenclatures for data storage
- Evaluations based on business objects and their data
Data storage with a flexible basis
Eureka Business Objects
The business objects in Eureka5 are divided into different categories and form the basis of the entire data storage. Mainly, business objects are distinguished between project, application, report, receipt, participant and company. Level reports, expert opinions or files are also available.
Each of these business objects can assume any condition in the form of a status and can be filled with almost any kind of data using the configured data fields. The project is usually the common basis for the structures.
Questions & answers about Eureka5
If you choose the standard version of Eureka, only license and maintenance costs are incurred. You save the complex, long-term and thus costly and time-consuming IT development processes that are necessary when technical requirements have to be implemented.
The standard package includes 2 workflows which you can use to implement your structural fund support without major adjustments – right through to accounting, payment application and declaration of expenditure. All required functionalities are already implemented in the standard application, so if no further adjustment applies, all program users have (after a short training session) an operational software program that has been designated in all previous funding periods and tested with category 1.
With our applications you can realize every single step of the funding implementation, control and management. From pre-application or participation competition, indicators recording and elaborate participant information up to complex project invoices and the final settlement with the EU Commission (interim payment application, final payment application, accounting, list of population and annual overview of the tests carried out) or even up-to-date real-time overviews for every single detail of the funding can be controlled.
So far, several structural fund administrators in different member states with almost 75,000 users (from sponsors, intermediaries, authorities and service providers) have processed over 14 billion euros in funding with Eureka.
If necessary, we can of course make further adjustments required by you. However, you or your IT service provider can also configure the application. You can either carry out adjustments “in-house” without having to place expensive programming jobs or maintain the existing relationship with your IT service provider by realizing any requirements in a configurable manner. You – or an organization named by you – will receive access to the configuration module with which you can make all necessary adjustments and further developments yourself.
