Architecture
Why an "Enterprise Architecture" ?
Most of the currently traded applications you found are not suitable for a large company: why?
Just because they weren't planned to this purpose. The management staff of a company with some branch offices around the world does know very well the cost of managing and controlling the EDP system.
StepII™ answers promptly to this question: a carefully planned architecture gives a very high performance at very low maintainance expenses.
)
The "Enterprise WAN"
A LAN-to-LAN connection (or WAN, Wide Area Network) into an enterprise environment is real expensive; the faster is the need of throughput, the more expensive will be the connection.
StepII™ asks only the minimum of the bandwidth, and it can works out with a on-demand line as well as a leased line, since it can manage stateless connections.
The "Enterprise management"
Every system administrator of a company with a lot of branch offices knows what a nigthmare is installing an application or deploying a new release into a remote network client: StepII™ totally automatized this hard task.
The "Entrerpise scalability"
"Today I have a small company, but maybe tomorrow I'll grow bigger". StepII™ runs, untouched, on both standalone personal computer and large WAN with tens of branch offices with thousand of users. The hardware configuration only makes the difference.
)
The "Enterprise globality"
What If your company has branches wide spreaded all over the world? StepII™ speaks all the languages, since you can choose the language of every single client, of both the front-end and the Help (only roman alphabet).
)
The "Enterprise presence"
"My enterprise has branches offices with differents trade names, but with the same database". StepII™ can manage a different report header for every single user.
)
The "Enterprise efficiency"
A big company cannot simply stops its informatical system just for an application updating. StepII™ automatically deploys the updatings from the development team to the final users. Most of the time the users don't even know they are running an updated version of the application.
