Software Engineer BowTie Suite

Background BowTie Suite Team

The BowTie Suite team at Wolters Kluwer- Enablon develops risk management software with Bowtie diagrams being the at the core of the product range. Because these diagrams are relatively easy to understand, the bow-tie diagrams are used to communicate the risk to higher management as well as the people on the work floor, thus making the risk management process understandable for all stakeholders.

BowTie finds its roots in the chemical industry course notes for a lecture on hazard analysis given at the University of Queensland in 1979. The exact origin is unclear but the mainstream use started in the aftermath of the Piper Alpha disaster with Royal Dutch/Shell adopting the methodology as the company standard for analyzing and managing risk. It is widely regarded as a suitable visual tool to keep an overview of risk management practices.

BowTieXP desktop: Remove dependency on Internet Explorer component (spike)

To integrate with BowTieXP Enterprise Server application the BowTieXP Client desktop application currently makes use internally of the C# Internet Explorer component, that we have customized.

Nobody uses internet explorer anymore! for many reasons. So this old component would need to be replaced with another browser component (like the modern WebView).

However it might also be a good opportunity to take a look at another login mechanism entirely, using an OpenId connect flow for instance. What would be the best option? Would it be compatible with the solution we have now? Could this be implemented quickly?

*Requires knowledge about http web requests, http redirection, cookie handling, logon mechanisms
