Three-tier Web Architecture

Bank Advantage™ is designed to run in a three-tier environment consisting of the client, application and database tiers.

The system is accessible through any Java-enabled browser. This feature facilitates a single location for software maintenance and upgrade as well as maintaining a zero foot print on the end-user’s desktop.

Platform Independence

Bank Advantage™ is Open Systems compliant. It can be deployed on over 100 hardware platforms as well operating systems without the need to make any changes to the programs.

Distributed Data Processing

Bank Advantage™ is able to transparently share the load of data manipulation amongst several machines in the Database tier. This is wholly managed by the underlying RDBMS.

Data Integrity and Consistency

The extensive use of data codification as well as other techniques by Bank Advantage™ allow the system to validate all data items before they enter into the database as well as ensure their continued integrity after they are in the database.

Connectivity

Bank Advantage™ will run on any standard network linking the Database Server, the Application Server and the web-enabled front-end.

Standardised interfaces between the front and back ends of the system ensure that all transactions are processed appropriately regardless of their point of origin.

Referential Integrity Assurance

The reliability of data on which your decisions are based is crucial to successfully running your business.

Bank Advantage™ has Referential Integrity implemented at the core of its design to ensure that any data item on which your business relies can’t be accidentally deleted.

Future-proof Technology

The use of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools and 4th Generation Language programming ensures that Bank Advantage™ is ready to take advantage of new technology and painlessly grow with your organisation.

Parameter Based Flexibility

Bank Advantage™ is based on a number of carefully selected parameters that can easily be modified to adapt to your current and future strategies without the need to re-write any of the systems programs.

Industry Standard Structured Query Language (SQL)

SQL lets system development and deployment happen faster when compared to the use of traditional 3rd generation software programming.

That means the cost of customisation is dramatically less - an important issue if your bank wants the application tailored to your specific needs.

User Friendly GUI Screens

All Bank Advantage™ screens have a consistent look and feel across the entire system to eliminate the need for user retraining across the various modules.

In addition, Bank Advantage™ GUI screens use distinctive visual cues, text prompts and intuitive online help to increase user productivity.

Scalability and Portability

Bank Advantage™ lets you tackle present needs whilst giving a platform for seizing future opportunities. Bank Advantage™ can scale linearly; this ensures that the addition of storage and processing capacity produces a corresponding boost in performance benefits.
