The platform will be designed with an innovative structure as a physical home. This includes the main rooms of a house:
NetHome
A private and safe space in the cloud for the family to manage their home
Integral management without paperwork, with a click, from anywhere in the world
THE PLATFORM
- Entry / exit door
- Office
- Kitchen
- Arrangement workshop
- Games’ room
- Living room
- Personal rooms
- Garden
In addition, each family has a unique control panel to configure your space. This will allow them to: communicate among their members from their own website, carry out operations with different public and private organizations without leaving the platform and have all their information together and available on the network.
ORIGINAL AND EXISTING APPLICATIONS
From the platform, families will use applications and services tailored to their particular needs. They will be able to use business software systems in day to day life. Among these systems is the Google open technology.
GOOGLE CLOUD PLATFORM
The web framework we have chosen is Google Cloud Platform.
This model of Cloud Computing (PaaS or Platform as Service)will provide us with an operating system with a flexible/expandable environment and the ability to add any necessary additional elements.
With this platform, our platform NetHome will have all the innovations and services that the internet has: location apps, sharing resources, connecting from wherever- whenever or organizing daily life with a swipe of your finger.
WHAT WILL NetHome CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAMILY?
- Integration, organization and management of all your information in a single software with easy access.
- Management of data, plans, pending tasks or documents and time saving.
- Realization of informative and electronic bureaucratic tasks from the same platform.
- Access to external services of companies and organizations (schools, banks, hospitals, public administration) with its own communication channel on the Internet.
- Security of access to the network and protection of the minor.
- Communication and organization with the rest of the family members.
MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT
The NetHome platform will be launched with the minimum viable product:
- A standard platform for all families.
- Only the entrance and exit door, the kitchen and the office enabled
- Limited applications and services.

Why does a family need its own web page?

Why a cloud based Information System for families?
The aim of the DotFam NetHome project is to create the first Family Information System on the Internet, via a cloud integration platform that will permit families to apply business solutions to their daily lives.
This means automating the family´s functions and tasks, developing a platform to suit their lives; which will allow them to effectively manage their homes, including any unforeseen event! In reality, all technological business solutions can be used by families, thus improving quality of life and saving time.
Why should I invest in DotFam NetHome?
This project is helping to showcase the family online, to give it more presence and prove that families are a powerful force, economic and socially. The vast majority of of technology is designed for business and individuals; having a platform unique for families will open doors and present new opportunities for the familiar unit.
Your contribution will be used to champion the family and will also expand the role of the family in the new online economy.
SOCIAL BENEFIT
New technologies are here to stay, and families need the tools to make technology their friend and extract the infinite benefits that are out there for the taking.
DotFam will provide tools to reduce children’s online exposure, integrate home data, and offer numerous tangible benefits to each family.
“DotFam’s social benefit is enormous, aiding and facilitating people and families, society’s cornerstone, on a daily basis”.
Having a technological tool does not mean depending on that tool. Our objective is to define and automate processes that will help people and families go about their daily lives.
Each family member generates information. Household responsibilities require a great talent for organization, planning and coordinating very distinct tasks. It’s a job where the occasional mishap, caused by poor planning or overlooking information, can have grave consequences. Household planning has a very direct impact on all family members or any home.
“Every innovation applied in a business setting should be applied to the people or the family”.
When designing/implementing an Information System, it is important to keep in mind the following objectives:
NetHome will permit people and families to have access to services via an Internet navigator, and will generate a flexible system- as the need arises, more capacity will be added.
Our tool will give families a way to increase their time together- not to automate people, but to improve quality of life by helping them to prioritize responsibilities and tasks. We want to create a new common space for a community, for a student apartment, for the whole family… where parents and children can contribute to their own unique online life.
“The main benefit is the home’s integration. By creating a common space, the possibilities of fluid communication will increase considerably”.
