Ontology Based Intelligence 1 (OBI1) - Ontology Based Software Development

OBI1 (Ontology Based Intelligence 1) is an Information Systems Ontology Development Platform that creates an all-encompassing, enterprise-wide, Ontology Object Model, which is then used to provide data and powerful management and analysis tools to users of different profiles in the organization, from completely non-technical users that only consume data to highly trained programmers, analysts and software architects.

Ontology Based Intelligence 1 (OBI1) - Ontology Based Software Development

What does Dynamic Ontology mean in the context of software systems?

What does Ontology mean in the context of software systems?

In software systems, an ontology is a formal, structured representation of the objects, their properties, and the relationships that define how the system works. It describes not only the data and entities involved, but also explicitly defines the system’s functionality — how processes behave and how components interact. This makes the software easier to understand, modify, and extend.

What does Dynamic Ontology mean?

Dynamic Ontology means that the structure and functionality of the software system — its object classes (types), properties, and behaviors — can be modified at runtime. In OBI1, this allows users who understand their operational needs — but have no knowledge of software development — to adapt, extend, or even build entire applications without writing any code and without making changes to the underlying databases. The ontology evolves as the system evolves, ensuring continuous alignment with real-world requirements. OBI1 is a true No-Code Software Generation System.

Is OBI1 just a system to document ontology in its formalism or does OBI1 provide software execution capabilities guided by the defined ontology of a system?

OBI1 is far more than a documentation tool — it is a full execution platform. Once the ontology of a system is defined using OBI1’s formalism (object classes, properties, behaviors, relationships and functionality), OBI1 immediately generates a fully functional application that runs based on that ontology. The system’s screens, actions, workflows, and data behavior are all dynamically driven by the ontology, without requiring any additional code. In this way, OBI1 acts as both a modeling environment and a runtime engine for ontology-based applications.

Active ERP (aERP) - Dynamic Ontology Active Enterprise Resource Planning

Aboard Software created the first robotic Active ERP (aERP) based on state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

aERP is the first ERP to be defined based on a user-accessible, dynamically modifiable Ontology, so end users can modify the system interactively, graphically, without any knowledge of software development, without any information systems technical background, and without the need for writing any software code at all.

Our Active ERP suites come with the Auto Pilot module, an Artificial Intelligence robotic module that uses the ERP functions to actually get the work done.

aERP is the next generation of business software, the robotic generation.

Our Active ERP software will actually do the work, not you, on its own initiative and without being asked.

Our aERP software is a real team member of your Company, not just sophisticated electronic paper in the form of ERP screens.

Active ERP is not about what fields and what calculations are made by the software, it is about what the software does as one extra member of your team.

Will your next ERP software think? Will it act on its own? Will it come to you for consultation as instructed?

Our Active ERP does.

And it learns as it does your work.

It learns from the day-to-day activity of your company, establishing complex correlations between a myriad of seemingly irrelevant details, and optimizing efficiency in a way that, well... only a thinking computer can.

A New Generation of Business Software

Welcome to a new generation of business software.

Powerful software that is simple and intuitive to use.

Because, isn’t the power of the software defined precisely by its ability to simplify complex tasks for you?

The more powerful the software, the simplest it should be to use.

Simplicity must apply to putting the software to work as well.

Powerful software should provide powerful startup tools.

Tools for easily uploading your existing data and building your initial databases, including playground test databases.

And tools to help you best configure your software for your specific needs.

Powerful business software should provide tools that help you use it.

So heavy training should not be necessary.

Your software should have mentoring tools for your users.

Guided by the mentoring tools, your users should understand the information in the screens intuitively, and they should be able to easily figure out how to navigate the screens, and how to process your transactions.

Powerful business software should be easily extensible and customizable.

We understand this very well, because we have been using our Business Software Engine for 50 years, to be the core of our custom built applications.

We designed and fine-tuned our Business Software Engine to be easily extensible and customizable because we designed it as our own custom software development tool.

So why don’t you find out what our software can do for your business?

Is your software working for you or is it just watching you do the work?

Our Active ERP (aERP) won't just stare at you from the screen, while you do the work, like conventional ERP suites do.

Let the software do the work.

Trust your software.

Make it simple.

What our Active ERP (aERP) software will do for you:

It will create purchase orders, packing lists, work orders, schedule the shop floor, etc.

Always scheduling the work for everyone, including itself, to get optimal results from your available resources.

And under your orders and control directives it can come to you for your review and approval of its intended actions.

With more precision than humans.

Always active and relentless.
Always vigilant and aware of the next thing to be done.

Never calling in sick.
Never getting tired.
Never missing a due date.
Never missing a requirement.

Who is in control?

You are, at all times.

You will supervise the transactions, rather than have to create them.

A Different Business Model

You can easily see the difference, we openly disclose our prices, we openly disclose our methodology and we provide you with all the information you need to make a wise and informed decision.

Ours is a transparent and crystal clear offer.

And then we let you try the software with your own data before you make any commitments.

Why? Because we know we provide the best Business Software Suite available in the market.

We are a people Company, talk to us, we will help you bring your company to the next generation of Business Software.

Striving to be the best is a task that never ends, and we are proud and happy to accept that challenge every day with every new customer.

Free Guide to Business Software Selection

What to look for when comparing business software?

We offer a free guide, in general terms, and not directed at promoting our own products, but oriented to educate you in what to look for when comparing Business Software suites.

And our guide is short, concise and to the point.

Our software provides elegantly for what's in the guide, yes, but how well do we do it? See for yourself.
And how about our competition? How do they compare?

Are there any other aspects for which our competition provides better than we do?
There’s only one way to decide, a well-informed comparison by you.

We will ask you to identify yourself, but we will never sell your information, or provide it to any other company or entity.
Remember, we strive to always be a part of the solution, and never be a part of the problem.
