Key Features
Open System
TAS.netTM is built with open system foundation
layered architecture and can communicate with almost any device, and any system
with a published (or known) protocol.
State of the Art
TAS.netTM application is specifically
engineered for Microsoft Windows NT/2000 using the latest software technology,
standards and open systems component interfaces.
Efficient Code, Efficient Customization
Our code is fully object-oriented and written using
languages supported by Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003. Additions and updates
to your system can be quickly implemented and only require adding or updating
pieces of the program, not the entire application.
Distributed Software Applications
Multiple copies of TAS.netTM application
modules can be distributed across any number of computers in any configuration.
Web Browser Based
No proprietary viewers are needed (only Internet Explorer
6.0). Users can access TAS.netTM directly from the Internet or
Dearman’s UNITYTM. UNITYTM provides special web
services that isolate the terminal’s TAS.netTM, for added security.
Visual System Customization
The Dearman Team has developed our own set of
Application Development Platform (ADP) Computer Aided Software Engineering
(CASE) Tools. These tools allow us to quickly, and visually implement
customizations your operation requires. It also gives us the ability to make
changes to your customized system whenever they are needed in a fast, cost
effective and efficient manner.
Terminal Graphics
Standard terminal graphics provide a real-time
visualization of terminal activity.
User Designed Terminal Graphics
The TAS.netTM is the first TAS to support user
configurable design layout (drag and drop) technology. Each system will
automatically configure the desktop to the standard layout, that can be used as
the base or the user can design a unique desktop for each terminal.
Flexible Allocations
Virtually any allocation you can imagine is possible.
Using our 4-dimensional allocation scheme, you dictate exactly who gets what
product, where, when, and how much. Allocations are configurable for any
combination of products, terminal or terminal groups.
