Nucleus Technology

"The value of Nucleus Technology goes far beyond its use as a capable programmer’s workbench... greater than the benefits of improving programmer productivity or making applications simply look and work better."

Nucleus Technology is recommended as a means of efficiently meeting the goals of:

Supporting industry requirements and government mandates

Reducing long-term support requirements

Implementing change, version and source-code controls

Standardizing the user interface

Providing an efficient and intuitive client interface

Adding "windows-style" controls

Extending control over the software development process

Improving security

Leveraging investments in existing computer systems

Improving employee retention

Improving programmer accuracy and productivity

Enforcing integrity of information

Reducing training time for "new hires"

Simplifying extraction, transformation and loading of data (ETL)

Easy to support on-line real-time web applications

Minimizing the concept to implementation cycle

Enabling evolution of the data center without a revolution

while improving the ability of the organization to respond quickly to changes in the marketplace or regulatory requirements.

Features & Description:

Nucleus Technology offers an integrated environment for the development, management and operation of business, government and scientific computing applications.

Evolution, not revolution:
Nucleus architecture offers an evolutionary path to the future, without causing a violent upheaval in how things work. Traditional applications can be enhanced with Nucleus, adding features demanded by today’s rapidly changing marketplace. The risks of application re-engineering are reduced as the logic and business rules built upon years of effort can be incorporated in Nucleus applications. Existing programs can be EXECUTEd and subroutines can be called from within Nucleus rule-sets.

Nucleus Technology combines a suite of software tools and utilities to satisfy the most demanding development, maintenance, production, re-engineering or data-warehousing projects.

A structured framework enables rapid development of mission-critical systems that are easy to use, support and maintain.

Application Portability is ensured for developers, VARS and organizations needing to support multiple multi-dimensional platforms including UniVerse, UniData, D3, Reality X, QM professional and others.

Version and Change control is "built-in", not a third-party extra.
Every change is auditable. Fail-safe source code libraries are transparently maintained. Standardized procedures for development, quality control, deployment and life-cycle management ensure code reliability and enable strict conformance with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and other regulatory bodies and standards organizations.

Access to Information
Easily navigate screens or review integrated help in a user-friendly operations environment. Lookups are easy-to-use. Drill-downs and search capabilities empower and enable staff to get their work done quickly and accurately. New hires are able learn Nucleus based applications quickly, saving training time and money.

Nucleus Technology provides the most direct path for a skilled Pick/U2 programmer to develop easily maintainable applications that support character mode and GUI with a single set of code. The Nucleus environment builds on existing "Pick/U2" knowledge. A single code set supports character-based, GUI and dumb terminal applications. Web extensibility is assured.

More than a pretty face Nucleus technology imparts a modern, windowing look and feel, Applications not only look better, they become easier to use, and for resellers, far more attractive to new buyers.

Security controls are extensive, yet easily implemented across work groups or for specific, individual users. Privileges or restrictions can be assigned broadly by security group or specifically for an individual user. Security controls are assignable down to the field level. Individual fields can be password protected where necessary.

Context-sensitive help, simplified lookups, arrow-key navigation and mouse support empower the user, enhancing productivity.

Migration facilities:
Older technologies including System Builder, Arev, Wizard and others can be migrated to Nucleus, without abandoning investments made in application software.

Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing:
Nucleus can automatically create "alerting transactions" each time a record is changed, to feed on-line, real-time data warehousing that can be integrated with Business Intelligence (BI) applications.

Operating system independence
allows operation across various AIX/Unix/Linux platforms, as well as Windows and Mac OS.

Unparalleled flexibility within a structured approach ensures that there are NO BRICK WALLS. Code and application consistency simplifies maintainability within a pool of programmers.
