Technology Sandbox – ABOUT

Unified API – Technology Sandbox

S calable acceleration program based on acceleration technology, enabling validation of ICT solutions in the test environment and automation of the integration and implementation process for public institutions in the area of finance, energy and digitization.

The market practice of countries such as the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia and Switzerland shows that the introduction of the sandbox technology in these countries allowed for the development of many innovative companies while agreeing on an adequate regulatory framework .

Acceleration

The accelerator will act as a separate innovation center, with particular emphasis on the function of innovation facilitation. This practice is successfully used by leading business entities operating in the areas of high technology.

One of the main factors proving the uniqueness of Technology Sandbox is the departure from the standardized accelerator formula. Instead of standard topics such as pitching or market seizing, this acceleration program focuses on topics close to the market – building a business case for the implementation of new, innovative solutions provided by interdisciplinary teams.

The program is based on the use of acceleration technology, which allows to solve many regulatory and technological problems that development teams have to deal with, which are not the basic problem addressed by these start-ups.

Technologia

Unified API – Technology Sandbox – Platform as a Service – an open standard will enable fast, efficient and secure exchange of information between entities.

Benefits:

  • accelerate integration – implementation of innovations in Poland in the financial, energy and other sectors
  • ensures data security and compliance with European directives (e.g. GDPR, PSD2)
  • it will facilitate cooperation with start-ups
  • will provide the necessary technology
  • will create a Market Place for innovative companies in the value-added chain of the API economy

Data integration

SANDBOX with built-in integration tools and advanced API (application programming interface) will solve the problem of incompatibility between different systems created by different companies thanks to the unification of the methods of communication between these systems. By using SANDBOX as an intermediary layer, we avoid “Vendor Lock-in”, because at any time as customers we can replace our external software provider without changing the code of the application itself.

Blockchain
An important element in SANDBOX will also be the use of Blockchain as one of the standard services offered, which ensures transparency, security and stability when creating, for example, automatic contracts or access audit logs to personal data needed, for example, in the GDPR.

Programming framework
UnifiedAPI Technology SANDBOX responds to typical anti-architectural patterns, promoting good programming practices, provides technological solutions that possibly compensate for deficiencies in business product specifications and will facilitate integration with systems using complex API and SDK – providing easy-to-use GUI tools for programmers. Such a solution, providing the right tools and ensuring compliance with regulations, will solve typical problems in projects related to R&D issues and facilitate rapid prototyping and implementation of solutions.

Typical and main architectural anti-patterns that we respond to by SANDBOX:

    • —  brak dokumentacji wytworzonego rozwiązania
    • — zmiany zakresu w trakcie wytwarzania oprogramowania
    • — rotacja w zespołach i różne standardy kodowania
    • — tworzenie licznych, niepotrzebnych komponentów systemu, które są nadbudowywane, zmieniane, usuwane

As part of SANDBOX, mechanisms will be used to force programmers to constantly create documentation and maintain the quality of the code, which will make the prototype suitable for production implementation even after the completion of R&D works. Best practices will speed up the development process and reduce or eliminate neglect.
