The previous version of the platform of 1C: Enterprise 7.H delivered in 1996, increasing the possibility of issuing regular releases and new components. To date, at its basis the company produces 1S mass circulation dozens of applications solutions (configurations). In addition, the platform provided by the possibility of changing the configuration of specific organizations in place many tens of thousands of specialized applications solutions focused on specific needs and characteristics of the accounting of these enterprises. The total number of organizations using the current products of 1C: Enterprise, exceeds 700,000.

The most prevalent Affiliate Program of 1C: Enterprise, designed to automate various accounting tasks (accounting, warehouse management, etc.). Recently, the rapidly growing number of established on a platform of 1C: Enterprise products for the integrated automation of accounting and business management, including resource planning, working with clients, budgeting, etc.

The massive success of such a broad range of products is largely due to the fact that the 1C: Enterprise is a flexible technology platform, and opportunities that allow us 1S, its franchisee partners, independent developers and system integrators, as well as by clients to create a variety of business application.

Such a platform provides, on the one hand, high-speed design and modification of applications solutions, and on the other side - the unification of their use, ranging from installation and administration features to the user interface. Obviously, the ability to prepare applications solutions are strongly determined by the capacity platform on which they are built.

Issuance of the new version 8 platform 1C: Enterprise reflects the current trends of the market of massive automation systems of governance and accounting - broadening the range of tasks, increase medium-scale solutions, new technological environment of the automation system.

In developing 1C Enterprise 8 firm 1S considered their main tasks:

The high efficiency of the system for a wide range of businesses through increased functionality, improve performance and scalability;

preservation of entry-level large-scale solutions, starting from small businesses and individual users, as well as increasing support for large-scale industrial action.

When designing the platform 1C: Enterprise 8, a serious analysis of experience in applying 1S Enterprises 7.H in different circumstances, take into account the wishes of many partners and users of the system.

There are the following major directions of development platforms:

Expanding the range of tasks

Improving the scalability and performance

Creating a new ergonomic interface

Developing means to build economic and analytical reporting

Improvement of rapid application development solutions

Development of integration

The development of technology transfer and support for applications solutions

The development of administration

Internationalization

Improved scalability

Platform 1C: Enterprise solutions for all applications regardless of industry-specific and firm developer provides a wide zoom. This may be a single option for personal use or very small organization (SOHO), and multiplayer version of the file version, and client-server version, which provides an effective and safe storage of information in the presence of tens and hundreds of concurrent users. It is important that all of these options work can be realized without processing applications solutions. Thus, the developer mass of decisions can produce the same application for use in organizations of varying scale - from the perspective of the user in all the versions of applications (configuration) will work the same way.

One of the most significant innovations 1C: Enterprise 8 is the realization of a modern 3-level client-server architecture. In 1C: Enterprise 7.7 in client-server version of a database program running on your computer, appealed directly to the database within MS SQL Server. In the new version on one computer server 1C: Enterprise, a program that works with the user interacts with the server 1C: Enterprise, a server, if necessary, appealed to the database server. Using server 1C: Enterprise allows you to focus on the implementation of the most voluminous data processing operations. For example, in the performance of even very complex queries, the program works with the user will receive only necessary to sample data, and all the intermediate processing will be performed on the server. At the same physical server 1C: Enterprise and the database server may be located on one computer or several. This allows the administrator if necessary to distribute the load between servers. Another important aspect of 3-level architecture is the convenience of administration and streamlining user access to information base. In this option, the user should not know about the physical location or configuration database. All access through a server 1C: Enterprise. When you access any information base user must specify only the server name and the name database, and the system asks for, respectively, user name and password.

Version 8 has the fullest possible use MS SQL Server for the effective sample information. The mechanism of requests in the new version is aimed at maximizing the use of MS SQL Server to perform calculations and reporting. In addition, the new version implemented special mechanics to optimize dynamic view larger lists, which view the list without a large number of hits to the database. This is necessary, for example, interactive work with large user directories or lists of documents. If the user provided opportunities for effective searching, as well as setting the selection and sorting.

Version 8 also reworked version of the file and work with the database, calculated on the personal work of one person or the work of a small number of users in the network. The main advantage of this option is the maximum ease of installation, launch and administration system, and there is no need for the acquisition of any additional software. All the data database (configuration, database management information) are arranged in single file. This ensures high integrity and simplifies the creation of backups. Now the user can not mistakenly (for example, while copying the information base) mixed up files of database and thus cause the system inoperable.

Another improve the scalability of the new version is to improve the operational performance of the system while the work of a large number of users and optimization of the Rules of users. The new version excludes a situation where to start working in a reporting period required the installation of a monopoly regime. Regular operations requiring exclusive access can now take place at a convenient time for the organization. Significantly improved features parallel when multiple users. In the model, supported by the system version 8, there is no database tables, clearly leading to competitive access by multiple users. The new version of competitive access would be implemented only when the logically related data (for example, when trying to sell the same product) and would not affect the data, not related in terms of subject area. Mechanisms of operational records in the new version does not require compliance with the uniform for all parts of the accounting regulation work. They can be supported, for example, along with lots of planning and other application subsystems, the work that is not in real time.

Expanding the range of tasks

The use of 1C: Enterprise really went beyond the purely accounting system and to date include such tasks as management, marketing, budgeting, etc. In the new version given considerable attention to improving the model data applications, which dealt with specific tasks automation of various subject areas.

Marketed mechanism registers information, which is designed to effectively address a wide range of storage and processing of information not related solely to accounting functionality, for example, market prices. The information in the registers of information can be both static and changing over time - in this case, it provides storage change history. Functionality registers of the frequency of random assignment provides storage, the possibility of "slices" of information for a certain period, etc.

Have been further developed tools subject to the availability and movement of funds. Ensure greater independence of the various areas of accounting, for example, that would better combine in a single application solution of the operational records, financial accounting, planning, budgeting, etc. The processing machinery operational records to ensure high parallelism user reflecting the business transactions in real time.

In 1C: Enterprise 8 significantly improved model of accounting. Introduced an unlimited number of resources and accounting measurements (as with the support of balance, and without the support of balance). Realized separate storage nebalansovyh measurements, and resources in the debit and credit of the wiring. The possibility of the design of the supporting cables, including a few debits and credits. These and other possible version 8 can effectively implement a variety of ways, including Western and management, to the so-called "trehvalyutny" of a parallel accounting of several quantitative indicators, etc. In the same applications can support multiple parallel systems of accounting.

As you know, one of the most complex accounting problems is the automation of payroll. However, virtually all automation systems because of differences in the laws of each country created a unique module for calculating salaries. The mechanism of complex periodic payments 1C: Enterprise is a universal tool simplifies the implementation of such complex calculation tasks as payroll. In version 8 of the complex mechanism of periodic payments substantially reworked and refined. Introduced displacement mechanism, which allows you to automatically work off the competition of various charges and deductions with overlapping periods, as well as to realize automatic stornirovanie. Marketed mechanism receiving base, which allows the flexibility to integrate the various calculations. Introduced recalculations mechanism, which allows you to automatically track the validity of the results of the calculation, taking into account the mutual influence algorithm calculations.

The new mechanism characteristics, which can be used to describe the types of properties or additional cuts account, which can be replenished by users without changing applications solutions, for example, to describe the color or size of goods in the trading system, additional job cuts analysts in accounting, etc. .

The mechanism of the table (nested tables), the new version is available for both documents and other objects, and has no restrictions on the number of table parts, under one facility. This allows, for example, in areas such as production records, to create more complex documents, fully reflecting different aspects of business operations.

In addition to these innovations introduced various improvements in almost all the objects used to describe the data subject area.

New ergonomic interface

By user interface systems designed to automate the economic and managerial activities of enterprises subject to special requirements. These include: the need for the work of untrained users, a large number of heterogeneous information, which you need to work at the same time, the need for intensive input of information, including maximum use of the keyboard.

In the new version implemented user interface, the most sensitive to these and other features, as well as the experience of users of previous versions of 1C: Enterprise. It is not only a new interface design, but also implemented a series of mechanisms designed to ensure high usability of interface and efficiency of the user.

The new version of a significant development was in a position to quickly enter information using a keyboard. Virtually all fields of forms, which must select a value can be filled by typing the first few letters, for example, the beginning of employee names or the names of goods. Promoting the use of hot keys and the phone of choice. Thus, the effectiveness of the user with massive input in the new version increases in the number of times.

The appearance and functionality of forms of management and command interface in the new version geared to the novice can easily determine how to implement the necessary steps in a particular situation, and an experienced user can make the best use interface of the system.

Mechanisms for tips and point blank values are designed to provide user-visible information about the specifics of input data.

In the command line interface a new version including the ability to dynamically change the composition of the main menu and command bar. This is necessary for the implementation of user interface solutions to applications in which the number of functions is in the hundreds.

The new gear boxes, which take into account the behavior of each box feature to its role in applications. The user can control the size and behavior of individual windows, a form of maximum use of available space for displaying information.

In the lists (manuals, documents, etc.) introduced the ability to customize the user and the location of columns, flexible configuration for selecting and sorting the list.

We introduce various service opportunities targeted to the end user, for example, print any lists, moving from objects to the lists, change the password the user during work, etc.

A significant development in the new version received the help system. All the necessary user information is now issued in the form of hypertext. Background information on the configuration and the platform is integrated into a single reference system.

The design of application solutions designed to meet modern trends in the development of interfaces and specially optimized under the most popular color schemes and resolution of screens.

Warm color improves comfort for the eyes and reduces fatigue during the long work of the machine.

The compact model allows you to display the data to focus on content and enhances the perception of even a cursory view of forms. The user first sees the information he needs, not distracted by peripheral designs.

Intuitive-friendly interface is based on the European model of perception data (left-right and top-down) and especially reading text on the screen monitor.
