To ensure that the execution of the Datawarehouse projects provides the Financial Institution with quick, concrete and long-term sustainable results, the FINANWARE™ products address the problem vertically since they themselves solve all the necessary stages to present a result to the end user, who is usually a decision maker or an information analyst and does not need to concern himself with the underlying technological complications.

Our design enables us to offer in one single product all the elements required for a comprehensive, modular and scalable solution, so that the Financial Institution will not have to tackle complex processes requiring it to purchase and then integrate, on its own account, a number of tools, suppliers and interfaces, in view of the risks and costs that such a situation would involve.

The FINANWARE™ structure provides a comprehensive solution for the needs of a Financial Institution. Each institution can acquire and bring onstream the modules that are best suited to its needs and priorities, with full assurance of total integration of all the modules of the solution, and with tools and facilities for integration with its own or third-party modules that may be working when a FINANWARE™ project is initiated.

The Microsoft Windows DNA architecture has outlined the design and construction of the applications marketed. Since FINANWARE™ is built on these concepts, it makes optimal use of the different aspects of this architecture to offer an integrated solution at every level.


FINANWARE™ Presentation Services
FINANWARE™ is composed of two Windows 32-bit customer work-station applications: FINANWARE™ Management and FINANWARE™ Reports. The management portion is designed so that the user may register the institutional parameters, among them financial groups, institutions, currencies, foreign exchange rates and other elements. FINANWARE™ Reports makes available to the analyst information for decision making via an easy-to-use interface that is very flexible.

Furthermore, the FINANWARE™ Management Console handles the report requests and processes generated by the FINANWARE™ Management and FINANWARE™ Reports applications.

FINANWARE™ Portfolio enables the portability of the information generated by FINANWARE™ while maintaining the safeguards at the user level, which are validated by a Windows NT/2000 dominium and stored through cryptographic techniques.

FINANWARE™ Web provides the possibility of distributing the information generated by FINANWARE™ through the Internet or a corporate Intranet. FINANWARE™ Web, just as FINANWARE™ Portfolio, guarantees security of access to the information.

The management of updates of the FINANWARE™ desktop tools is automated and requires a minimum of effort to install an update in the server, including updates to Presentations, Business Logic and Data for automatic distribution the work stations.

FINANWARE™ Business Logic Services
FINANWARE™ builds on the COM technology by making use of the MTS transaction services and the COM+ applications services. The following are some of the advantages of using this design and programming model:
- Centralized process administration.
- Increased security and access levels based on three roles: the FINANWARE™ Administrator, the FINANWARE™ Analyst and the FINANWARE™ User.
- Improvement and ongoing increase of the business logic.
- Encapsulation of the business logic in a binary, updatable and easy-to-manage component.

The components responsible for the FINANWARE™ business logic are COM/COM+ objects housed in an MTS transactions server or in a COM+ applications server.

FINANWARE™ Data Services
Any data base with Ole-DB and ANSI-SQL 92 support can be run in the FINANWARE™ data services. All the processes of the data services used by FINANWARE™ include to language specifications: ANSI SQL 92 and TRANSACT SQL.

Connection with the data services takes place through ADO (active X Data Objects), which is the universal data access tool provided by Microsoft, based on open technology specifications with ample support from the data base products suppliers.
