Advantages and Features
Organisations are plagued more than ever with software solutions that are far too complex, inflexible and unreliable. Not only does this lead to unpredictable costs, it also exposes companies to staggering risks, which can dramatically damage business operations. These risks are often compounded by the proliferation of countless disjoint applications and databases, resulting from years of uncoordinated software development.
WIDAS has faced up to the challenge of simplicity, fast application development, integration, reliability and high performance with a completely new software paradigm: making software grow and evolve from simple components into advanced, reliable systems that provide value in short development time frames.
WIDAS, the Truly Integrated System
The new approach taken by WIDAS is based on a a set of lean and robust software components with which to build and dynamically evolve any type of application, whether commercial or scientific, simple or complex, large or small. WIDAS software components have clear business, scientific or service roles. They are also integrated with a sophisticated multidimensional database management system that is unmatched for speed and ensures fast and secure handling of large sets of data, as is typically required in data warehousing and data mining applications.
With WIDAS you can in fact share great volumes of information that may reside on mainframes and servers running a variety of different operating systems. This paradigm lends itself beautifully to rapid application development, which results in a radical cutback of coding and maintenance costs. Moreover the significant reduction of code volume and the elimination of numerous interfacing issues met within other development environments makes WIDAS applications particularly simple and stable.
WIDAS Integrated Data Warehousing Architecture
WIDAS is the result of a vast collaborative development effort involving the close participation of customers and users. Many of the valuable features of WIDAS were in fact suggested by our clients, making WIDAS into the functionally complete and performant system that it is today.
Besides reflecting the real-world needs of users, WIDAS has been built around strict criteria of software economy and leanness. WIDAS is now a highly integrated, Web-enabled, general purpose system that is simple to work with, has unmatched performance properties and lets you create and grow any information management, analysis and decision support system quickly and reliably.
WIDAS is particularly suited for implementing
- Very Large Databases with OLAP capabilities
- Data Warehouses and Data Marts
- Statistics Systems for Governments and Research Institutions
- Database Marketing Applications
- Patient Data Systems for Healthcare and Clinical Research
- Middleware Solutions for the integration of enterprise data
- Web-based Computing
- Quality Assurance Systems
