Technology and IT architecture
The choice of technology and IT architecture is one of the fundamental issues that we determine in the early stages of planning a corporate solution. Our user interfaces can apply Flash, Java, Javascript enhanced web-pages, and basic web-pages as alternative presentation technologies. Calculations can be performed client side, where Flash or Java is employed, or server-side when a centralised calculation engine better suits project requirements.
| | Finacle finanz tools are available under a variety of architecture and technology options:
- Client-side Macromedia Flash applications.
- Client-side Java applets using any version of Java and web browser.
- Client-side Java applications for offline usage without a web browser on any PC platform.
- Server-side calculation engines connected to Macromedia Flash user interfaces via Macromedia Flex or our proprietary integration software.
- Server-side web applications utilizing web page user interfaces enhanced with JavaScript.
- Server-side calculation engines with open interfaces to connect to external or third party user interfaces and other applications.
Embedding finanz tools within a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) desktop can also add a new and stimulating dimension to the sales process, one that directly engages prospects and customers to a level not previously achievable. By connecting finanz tools to lead and opportunity development, the tools can naturally support each of the stages of progressing sales from initial enquiry, through illustration, quotation, re-illustration right through to application taking. CRM integration also enables customer specific results to be stored and applied to other purposes such as pre-populating application forms, assessing credit risk, and preparing personalised letters and statements. | |  |
