Product Overview
1. Advantages Of The ISM-Software-Concept
After many years of experience ISM has decided
to develop a new software tool. The main design objectives of
this tool have been the inclusion of industry standards wherever
possible and an overall cost efficiency. The main advantages of
the ISM software concept are:
- Cost Reduction
- Extended Software Life Cycle
- Industry Standard Components
1.1. Cost Reduction
First of all, our customers only have to bear the license fees
for the Oracle®-Database. In software projects,
ISM provides the software tool ISM*WebForms
by including a one-time fee without maintenance charges. No additional
fees for transaction processing software tools have to be taken
care of.
1.2. Extended Software Life Cycle
The availability of our own tool influences the life cycle of
our software projects to a large extent. The experiences of the
last 15 years have shown that software tool providers release
new versions of their tools about every 3 years. New releases
not only not only include additional license fees but also personal
costs created by migration and test activities.
1.3. Industry Standard Components
We have decided to use the ORACLE® Database
as the leading product for storing data. This proven database
is not only used to store data but also the business critical
methods. Especially in this area we want to rely on the
proven concepts of the market leader. Yet our open concept allows
the integration of new technologies as soon as they have turned
out to be reliable. The other components of our software tool
either are OpenSource components or provided
by ISM. The essential point is that we are able
to control the various components software technology to a large
extent.
