A Proven No-Code Foundation ROK is now recognized as the most secure no-code platform on the market (see article). Thanks to its user-friendly graphical interface, your non-technical employees can create complex applications or robots with simple drag-and-drop actions. The created applications can be connected to your information system without code, ensuring continuous integrity with your electronic directories in an expanded ecosystem. This guarantees real-time management of application rights and authorizations. Disruptive Innovation: ROK Generativ ROK Generativ disrupts the no-code world by allowing the delegation of application, robot, or process design to an exogenous AI (thus blind to your data) through a conversational interface integrated into the no-code platform. The experience is unique, and you can immersively view the graphical visualization in ROK of the application corresponding to your request (see video) https://youtu.be/UphtRGKNNZQ?si=aVLrXxMWD7by4TNB Another impressive feature is that ROK will assign collaborator accesses and application rights in real-time while the AI remains exogenous to ROK, ensuring your data’s confidentiality. The application, created in a few minutes, can be immediately published on the web or submitted to an amendment and validation process via ROK’s historical no-code application, including the validation workflow and lean management processes. The possibilities offered by this solution are limitless Creating Applications from Scratch ROK Generativ allows the creation of applications, robots, or formalizing processes without needing a detailed specification in advance. In a few minutes, submit your problem to the AI, which will propose a suitable solution. Tasks and IT connections are automatically assigned. You can interact with the AI to refine the solution before finalizing it in no-code and publishing it via ROK’s web interface. Real-Time Consulting Tools Consulting firms can use ROK Generativ to create applications live during needs analysis meetings with their clients. The AI, with its sectoral and regulatory knowledge, can assist junior consultants by providing specific insights. This allows for quickly providing a digital response to be validated or amended at the end of the meeting.

Enhancing Cybersecurity with ROK: A Disruptive IAM Platform for Optimal Centralized Access Management

With a nearly 30% annual increase, cyber attacks affect one in five companies, and the average cost of such an infringement is around 13 million dollars. While the United States remains the main target for cybercriminals, France ranks fourth in this unfortunate tally. The issue of data protection has become a major concern, to the extent that the IAM (Identity and Access Management) market is expected to grow by nearly 23% over the next four years, according to ResearchAndMarkets. Key players such as AS Cognito, MS AD (Microsoft Active Directory), ForgeRock, Sail Point, and Okta mainly deal with audit, compliance, and governance issues, directory services, multifactor authentication, provisioning, password management, and single sign-on. The house is well-guarded, similar to a hotel where rooms are protected with four-point locks, pervasive video surveillance, motion detectors, and a deterrent alarm. However, you would agree, if at reception the hostess gives you the key to someone else’s room, all these protections become null and void, and you could raid your neighbor’s mini-bar without footing the bill. The issue of knowing who is who and who has access to what at any given moment becomes a central topic that requires you to be up to date in real-time with your application mapping, regardless of the number of your employees (whether internal or external) and the number of applications used by your organization (typically several hundred cloud services). In practice, however, only a third of companies are able to produce this application mapping within 24 hours. The responsibility is shared between the IT Department and the services, and it is difficult to blame someone who might have missed an email or a ticket or someone who, caught up in their activities, might have forgotten to request the withdrawal of a right. Without centralized responsibility, automatic synchronization, or shared knowledge, there can be no satisfactory solution. Currently, ITSM tools that come to the aid of IAM tools only perform if an initial manual action is taken, provided they cover the full scope in coherence with the Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), directory, and other tools for tracking non-salaried actors. In any case, and regardless of the depth of provisioning, they never indicate the reason for access, which significantly reduces audit capability. ROK is designed around an organic and systemic approach to your organization supported by a unique disruptive algorithm (ROKe TM). The organic axis will allow you to model your organization charts in integrity with your HRIS and directories, adding non-salaried collaborators if necessary; a digital who’s who that is up-to-date will thus be consultable and editable at any time for assured sharing. See who’s who article. The systemic axis consists of a NoCode platform that will enable you to design your employee flows around these organization charts to track movements in entry, exit, and mobility as close as possible to your business specificities. The solution will feature connectors to ensure integrity with existing management software (HRIS, directories, ITSM …). Provisioning of rights will be ensured when it is not supported by another solution. See No Code article. For example, ROK successfully provisions SAP across a scope of 200 sites covering all of Europe for the Elis group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBtGHALwPB0 Testimonial from François Blanc – DSI at Elis “ROK allows the standardization of access rights … the delegation of this management to the functions … the improvement of information system security, the reduction of administration costs.” Overall, the implementation of your organizations, regardless of their complexity, as well as the synchronization rules with your existing supports, can be completed in just a few days (depending on your supports). Once this preliminary work is done, any movement of an employee will be followed in real-time. Your application mapping will be managed in project mode directly via the platform. The provisioning work will be accelerated by the AI attached to the solution. In just a few weeks, any movement of an employee, or a method of work, will trigger the automatic update of the related application rights. As a bonus, the solution will natively manage SOD (Segregation of Duties). Technically, it is a multi-tenant, multi-instance cloud platform accessible on any laptop and mobile through a responsive web interface distributed directly in SaaS mode for less than 5 € per user or via our reseller ATOS. After ten years of development, the ROK platform becomes the first No-Code platform “compliant” and secured by design, allowing you to model your organizations and, at the same time, to create your own applications in no-code, thus creating a unique link between the organic (your teams), the systemic (your flows) for a centralized shared vision of responsibilities and application rights. cyberexperts.tech digit-collab.com decideur-it.fr ntic-infos.fr disrupt-b2b.fr dsi-numerique.fr numeric-tools.com actu-dsi.fr itb2b-univers.com dsisionnel.com ROK Decoder: Your Questions, Our Answers! The IAM has never been so clear. There are several ways to approach the topic of security, what are they? There are several approaches, each presenting advantages and disadvantages: The restrictive methods that are Zero trust, the principle of least privilege (PMP) supplemented by PAM (Privileged Access Management). The advantage of these methods lies in the reduced attack surface exposure. The disadvantage resides in the complexity of implementation and maintenance but also in significant related costs combined with reduced performance. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which simplifies management except in the case of complex environments in the absence of organizational data. Additionally, we can add: Dual control methods such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Risk-Based Authentication (RBA) which is constraining for the first and complex for the second, which also requires continuous monitoring. Moreover, it is a method that does not suffice on its own. If the RBAC method seems to be the most suitable, it quickly becomes apparent that given the size or complexity of the Group to be protected, its real-time update will pose a real issue, explaining why only 1/4 of companies are capable of producing an up-to-date application mapping within 48 hours. How does ROK approach this topic? What method is used? In

ROK Transforms the Vision of Organizational Charts: Unifying HR Management and IAM within the Enterprise Architecture

In the era of the digital enterprise, the ability to instantly visualize its internal and external organizational structure through accurate, editable, and real-time maintained charts is fundamental. This requirement aims to place the individual at the heart of the information system, with the goals of clearly identifying roles and responsibilities, allocating necessary digital resources, and optimizing business processes while securing the organization and its information system. To date, no platform integrates in a single offering the real-time integration of organizational charts and authorization charts, the integration of workflow tools needed to manage employee flows, or iBPMs to work on optimizing existing processes in dynamic environments with shifting organizations. Even so, some solutions specialized in human resources management (HRIS) or identity and access management (IAM) partially meet these needs (often in conjunction with other tools) (1), the challenge of maintaining this information up-to-date in real time remains significant. According to Gartner, 75% of companies cannot provide a real-time mapping of permissions. It is also rare to see charts that dynamically integrate both vertical and transversal hierarchical dimensions, both endogenous and exogenous. In this context, ROK stands out as an innovative platform that has developed a unique concept of integrated position modeling in NoCode, allowing for the merger of organizational roles (HRIS) and permissions (IAM). This approach greatly simplifies the maintenance of real-time data integrity with various directories and tools already in place. Organization: Modeling & Monitoring of Flows with Who’s Who (rok-solution.com) ROK can be positioned upfront to manage employee movements through efficient onboarding flows (modeled in NoCode) and dispatch information in real time to the HRIS, existing ITSM directories, or IAM in place. Depending on company policies, ROK can also be used as a central hub consolidating various digital entries, bridging gaps and offering a simple orchestration interface. Onboarding, management of assets and application rights (rok-solution.com). The platform, mainly available as SaaS at about €5 per user, can also be offered as an on-premise solution depending on specific needs. ROK offers a responsive web interface and can be deployed (in multi-tenant and multi-instance) on any type of cloud, public or private. Mr. Pierre Boulet, CEO of Novares Group (an automotive supplier that employs 10,000 people across more than 20 countries, 37 production sites, 7 technical centers, and 6 centers of expertise) testifies: “Managing an international group requires daily management of a diversity of cultures and backgrounds. When making acquisitions, it is crucial to integrate different cultures into the most harmonious whole possible. The HR challenge is daily. Implementing ROK is a formality in these processes that allow our employees to position themselves in the organization both at their level and that of their colleagues, which is crucial in a group structure. Today ROK is considered our cornerstone, it is an HR database therefore everything we do is based on it. It meets the need and is fully embedded in our business processes. For example, all the company’s workflows (IN – OUT – MOVE) are managed from ROK, and the visualization part is very used. The solution also allows us to manage the allocation of assets, standardize hiring circuits, and manage delegation of authority, thus eliminating many frustrations among our employees. This solution, deployed in all countries to a very diverse population because its interface is accessible with simple training, has ended up being adopted by HR, even the most reluctant ones.” Novares: Organizational management at the heart of the automotive industry (rok-solution.com) ROK thus positions itself as an original and comprehensive response to the challenges of organizational management and information security for contemporary businesses, marking a significant evolution in how companies can orchestrate their application rights and organizational structure dynamically with minimal effort and cost. (1) Workday HCM, Microsoft 365 HR, Oracle HCM, SAP SuccessFactors combined with SAP Cloud IAM… for the most complete solutions, however, they are rarely simple to implement and often require additional modules or third-party integrations. ia-news.fr digit-collab.com esn-news.fr marketing-numeric.fr decideur-it.fr cloudmagazine.fr ntic-infos.fr disrupt-b2b.fr dsi-numerique.fr www.numeric-tools.com actu-dsi.fr carrefourdusaas.com itb2b-univers.com dsisionnel.com ROK Decoder: Your Questions, Our Answers! The Who’s Who has never been so clear. What does ‘Who’s Who’ mean? The who’s who, as seen by ROK, is a graphical representation that allows you to visualize through multiple charts who is who and also who does what, with which tools (Document Management Systems and Applications) and what risks are involved. This visual directory is integrated in real-time with your Active Directory (AD), your HR Information System (HRIS), Identity and Access Management (IAM), etc. It manages and allows you to visualize both hierarchical and lateral links and can be printed. It is multi-company and also allows you to integrate your ecosystem of partners (subcontractors, temporary workers, consultants). It is dynamically maintained in real-time and can interface with your application ecosystem to provision and maintain up-to-date authorizations. In the same vein, it allows you to edit job descriptions or manage your Outlook mailing lists (or other email systems) in real-time. It is a true 360-degree control tower of your organization. How do we ensure that the charts are up-to-date in real-time? ROK incorporates a No Code module that allows you to propose onboarding, moving, and outboarding flows close to your specific needs and also to connect with your application ecosystem via web services (AI-assisted modeling). You can choose to see ROK as the hub for employee movements and let it automatically update your HRIS, IT Service Management (ITSM), IAM, or use it as a hub collecting information from these various sources (often multiplied in groups) to orchestrate them; in the latter case, you would complement (unaccounted ecosystems or orphan subsidiary applications) the untreated information by quickly and easily creating the necessary collection apps through the No Code module. How do we visualize, print, and understand complex and numerous organizations? The charts in ROK are multi-indexed; you can thus view them according to the axis of interest at any given moment by presenting them by: company, site, department, function, business unit, product line, market,

ROK “No Code Platform Compliant & Secure by Design”: Unlimited Flexibility, Enhanced Security, and Amplified Intelligence

The No Code market is rapidly expanding, with an increasing range of offerings and promising prospects. However, this enthusiasm should not overshadow the limitations of these solutions, which mainly include: The limitation of customization, due to the fact that they offer a predefined set of features and components. This constraint limits creativity and confines the user to less complex applications, a niche where iBPMS solutions excel. The complexity of connecting with other applications via APIs, which often requires the intervention of IT teams, even though a library of connectors is available. Security and compliance challenges, since the business often creates interconnected applications with the IT system without adequate management of integrity with the HRIS, employee workflows, or the authorization aspect (IAM), not to mention the separation of duties (SoD), thus opening the door to cyber attacks. “The ROK platform stands out with its remarkable level of customization for form interfaces, offering a limitless design workshop. It makes it easy to design complex apps and bots with No Code | OCR and AI (rok-solution.com). Similar to PowerPoint, it allows for complete customization of the graphical interface and navigation. The provided store enables customization and branding of the created applications to reflect the company or service’s image. Additionally, because its roots are in iBPMS, ROK facilitates the creation of complex business workflows through simple drag-and-drop, fully delivering on the No Code promise to accelerate digital transformation while optimizing the workflows created on a single platform. For opening applications created with the IT environment, ROK’s modeling interface allows for the integration of third-party APIs without writing a single line of code. The latest version of ROK also includes an AI assistant to facilitate the integration of complex APIs, eliminating the need to spend hours reading their documentation and making the API stores often offered by vendors obsolete. In terms of security, ROK is defined as ‘compliant & secure by design’. It natively integrates the ability to interface with HRIS systems, IAM tools, and electronic directories such as Active Directory (AD). The platform manages, in real time and transparently for the designer, the mapping of access, including those related to the application created. It links with the company’s organizational charts, clearly exposing the new fields of responsibility of the actors and automatically updates the risk mapping of Separation of Duties (SoD). Mr. Lounis, CIO of Support Functions France at the Transdev Group (Client Successes: Optimization and Securing of the Supplier Reference (rok-solution.com)), shares his experience using the ROK platform: “Transdev France uses ROK to manage the lifecycle of its supplier repository, which includes over 40,000 third parties with several hundred requests for creation, modification, deactivation, and reactivation per month. This management is ensured through a secure real-time interface with our ERP and Altares, to guarantee the identity, integrity, and activity status of the third party in the repository. The processes designed in ROK also include Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to dematerialize PDF-format bank account details into a form and facilitate their verification with an interbank control platform.” Looking ahead, ROK will offer a new modeling interface in June 2024 that will further simplify the creation of No Code applications. Currently, ROK allows the creation of No Code applications from scratch (or from a template in the store) through simple drag-and-drop, but also by importing a Word document or an Excel file describing the desired workflow. The integration of AI will revolutionize application creation by suggesting workflows tailored to expressed needs, accepting desired modifications through natural interaction, and instantly publishing a viable application distributed among various stakeholders, always in compliance with permissions. In summary, ROK clearly stands out from its competitors with its unique ability to deeply customize developed applications, orchestrate complex business flows leveraging its roots in iBPMS systems, and finely manage permissions as well as overall security, thanks to its integrated HR module and advanced management of organizational charts. It revolutionizes integration with the IT ecosystem by utilizing artificial intelligence to far exceed the capabilities of traditional API stores, which are now rendered obsolete. The next version of ROK promises to reinvent the creation of No Code applications, taking unprecedented advantage of advancements in AI to offer a limitless, deeply intuitive, and fully secure development experience (here, even the established application stores are relegated to the stone age). Thus, ROK does not merely navigate the frontier between No Code and AI but aims to merge the two to establish a new standard in enterprise application creation. cyberexperts.tech dsi-numerique.fr digit-collab.com numeric-tools.com ia-news.fr actu-dsi.fr disrupt-b2b.fr itb2b-univers.com decideur-it.fr dsisionnel.com ntic-infos.fr solutions-numeriques.com ROK Decoder: Your Questions, Our Answers! The No Code has never been so clear. Why use No Code platforms? No code platforms aim to accelerate digital development by eliminating the need for manual coding and reducing deployment times. They contribute to the democratization of digital creation by empowering business users (citizen developers), thereby fostering innovation and freeing up time for IT teams. Overall, they enable significant cost reductions and offer a consistently positive ROI. What are the limitations of these solutions? Although these platforms offer a variety of pre-designed patterns and components, they are limited in terms of presentation possibilities and customization. Similarly, while offering a range of components and connectors, they encounter feasibility issues when deviating from standard applications (complex apps). Additionally, by nature (due to their widespread use) and by design, they open up vulnerabilities to cybercriminals and present security flaws that are difficult to manage. Customization seems to be a limitation in No Code; what about with ROK? Beyond providing a range of more or less extensive pattern models that no code solutions offer, ROK features a unique design workshop. Its intuitive drag-and-drop graphical interface and extensive graphic palette facilitate the creation of customized applications in a manner similar to PowerPoint, which offers patterns but also allows you to design a completely original slide from scratch. An ingenious rule engine enables the creation of both unique and multiple forms within the same application, thus opening the door to complex
