The key benefits of using Fdata Framework and Fdata Business Suite include:

Centralized Data Access

• Designed to work with Oracle 10g and leverages its data types.
• Automates the process of supporting reference fields (parent link) and managing associated data (child sets).
• Automatically handles concurrency issues using an optimistic locking strategy.
• Provides dynamic updates of changed data. When one user saves their changes, and another user is viewing the same data, the changes are automatically updated on the second users screen in real-time.
  

Secure Access from Anywhere

• Any workstation with network access to the application server can access FBS, only requiring a Java VM
• Multi-user, role based access. Users, roles and permissions can be managed from within the application by the Administrator.
• Distribution of a Framework application is dramatically simplified using Web Start technology which allows a user to click on a web page to download the application. When a newer version of the distributable is detected and the system only downloads the changes.

Easy to Configure and Modify

• Out of the box FBS includes entities such as customers, contacts, purchase orders and tasks.
• FBS can be configured to add additional fields to these entities
• Framework is model driven and support rapid prototyping.  Changes can be made in the model and automatically reflected in both the database schema and presentation components.
• Frameworks simplifies exception management as all exception pass through a common handler which removes the complexity of error handling from the developer.
• New functionality can be quickly created using the underlying Framework toolkit and Oracle’s JDeveloper or Eclipse in 50 – 80% less time than standard developer tools and traditional programming

Easy to Use

• FBS is designed for data entry purposes. All items are easily searched and their relationships with other entities easily navigated. The system includes popup help for all fields, and standard screen by screen help buttons and hints.
