Nucleus Technology separates the presentation layer from data management rules, safely isolating the rules for managing data ON THE HOST, and eliminating the complexities that arise when business rules begin creeping into the user-interface

Traditionally, web based and back-office (inside) applications used different programs to accomplish similar goals.

Programs such as order entry required separate business rules to be written on the 'client-side' as each new user interface or 'app' was brought on-line.

As applications were modified to support changing markets and conditions, each structural change on the central host, or "enterprise" system, required a corresponding change to user-interface code. Visual Basic, .NET and Browser based applications had to be updated as well.

After many changes and revisions, the rules on one side or the other would get "out of synch". Shipment and pricing errors occured, valuable leads were lost and support personnel were often hastily added as customer service levels dropped.

Rules and logic embodied in different sets of code would tend to diverge due to the complexity of maintaining "parallel but dissimilar" applications that were most likely coded in different programming languages.

Sometimes you had to go to paper

Nucleus provides a strategic interface layer (API) that manages security, retrieval, validation, formatting, processing and delivery of data between a centralized host system, its connected data, and a wide variety of user-interface options.

It doesn't matter whether the "front-end" is a VB application, .NET, web browser or high-speed text terminal, all are able to use the same API (Application Programming Interface), to access, validate, update or initiate.

When the host system is archived (or "backed up"), the rules for managing the data are also archived, reducing the risk potential for both code and data. Client-side "apps" are always up-to-date. As an added bonus, change, audit and security controls are built-in.

Shared business rules provided by Nucleus Technology reduce application complexity, put applications on-line faster, improve control and simplify support.

The strategic interface layer offered by Nucleus Technology, provides a growth path to new user interfaces as they become available.
