What is a COTIC and how does it work?

Back to the knowledge hub

A COTIC (Cloud on Tap Information Carrier) connects a physical point to information and workflows in the cloud. Cloud on Tap uses this link to help an authorised person reach the relevant record, rather than search disconnected files. ZEUS CONSULTING provides the application family.

What happens at the physical point?

A person uses a compatible phone to open the associated application view. The application determines which information and actions their role permits. A physical access point is not, by itself, proof of identity or permission to see confidential records.

What can the cloud record contain?

Depending on the application and configuration, it can bring together asset information, checks, service notes and recorded history. The ten applications address different sectors; their fields and workflows are not interchangeable.

What needs to be agreed before deployment?

  • The objects or locations to identify and the people who use them.
  • Compatible devices, connectivity, permissions and data responsibilities.
  • The application, configuration and any required interfaces.

The architecture includes a blockchain security layer. Its presence is not a promise of absolute security or a substitute for access controls and a deployment-specific review. Current information and enquiry submission require an internet connection.
