It runs on J2EE technologies. ByteOne integrates web services; HTML 5; electronic payment channels; Biometric technologies; and information security & cryptography in a simple but high technology web framework. The schematic below shows the integrated functioning of ByteOne within a mature process used in ByteWorks for deploying ByteOne. ByteOne™ Industry Applications ELECTRONIC GOVERNANCE: The ByteOne Web Engine can serve as a foundational workﬂow platform for most government business systems. Especially in cases where custom and tailored solutions are required and custom oﬀ the shelf solutions are rather too stringent to achieve desired automation objectives. Diﬀerent governments focusing on divesting their revenue channels would typically start with a billing solution that is centralized to automate collections and stop losses associated with ineﬃciencies; and manual cash handling. ByteOne IGR potentials is already helping the Non-Oil revenue states in Nigeria strategize for boost in their IGR bottom-line. RETAIL AND E-COMMERCE: ByteOne is provisioned to make it easy for businesses trading on the web to leverage the powerful features of a web engine to increase sales and operational eﬀectiveness. With ByteOne; it is easy to get started with uploading product and service oﬀerings on the web; with processing payments online and satisfying customer orders! FINANCIAL SERVICES: ByteOne oﬀers data privacy; federated identity and authentication services. With the ByteMFA® framework; critical ﬁnancial services could enjoy full audit; control and logging for compliance and security. The Reporting platform of the ByteOne web Engine could also come in very handy where there are lots of regulatory requirements to report activities as can be found in the ﬁnancial services sector. BUSINESSES & OFFICES: ByteOne is suﬃcient as an oﬃce intranet portal that can scale to host customized processes that are too unique and may be found only within the peculiar circumstances of the business e.g A business operating within a L.G.A that has unique environmental challenges and are bound to be compliant with the local regulations of the LGA or county. This may come in the form of reports which are required for governance and compliance and ByteOne deployed as an intranet quickly is tailored to help deliver eﬃciency. ByteOne serves also as a secure Hive for corporate shared data and could be further protected with Biometrics using the ByteMFA®. This delivers security of enterprise data.
