We launched Seguro Americano's new App
After several months of planning, effort and lots and lots of work, we've finally released our Online Services App for Seguro Americano.
The new Columnis
We'll start developing a new version that will bring substantial changes from a technical and development planning point of view.
Our goal is to change the architecture of our very own CMS Columnis, transforming it from monolithic to three parts: API, Manager and Express.
Columnis API is a REST API built on Apigility (Zend Framework 2) and deals with the logic required to manage the site content.
Columnis Manager is a Single Page Application built on AngularJS, the graphic interface of our content manager, that refers to the API to perform maintenance tasks.
Columnis Express is a MVC app built on Zend Framework 2, it deals with connecting to the API to get the site content and through a template engine (Smarty/Twig) renders every page of the site.
This new approach will allow us to split the product into 3 smaller independent branches, which will be in turned maintained by three independent dev teams.
We hope to have our release candidate ready by Q1 2015.
