TechnologyAMOS: At The Forefront Of Technological Innovation
It has always been one of Swiss AviationSoftware’s primary goals to provide customers with a technologically state-of-the-art software package. Therefore, innovative technologies have continuously been implemented in the process of further enhancing the system.
Being written in pure JAVA, the most popular programming language on the market today, the technological basis for a state-of-the-art software product is given:
- AMOS is hardware independent (Windows, Linux, UNIX server) which implies scalability / flexibility with regard to any choice of hardware.
- Except for the database (Sybase), AMOS relies on no external software components. A database-independent version of AMOS will be available by the end of 2010.
- AMOS is fully web enabled which implies the availability of data at any place in the world.
- Client updates are performed via web.
- Advanced technology has been deployed regarding system security.
- The Graphical User Interface stands for ease of use.
- The AMOS support server helps to optimize the communication between the customer and Swiss-AS.
Fourth Generation Of AMOS Under Way
In the context of responding to future trends, compromise is not part of our Research & Development policy. In the next months, AMOS will make a quantum jump in terms of technology due to the Smart Client Technology.
All technological advantages identified in the past will be combined with Java Web Start and its smart deployment possibilities, such as:
- zero footprint
- accessibility of the application from any client
- no continuous download of user interface elements
- and nevertheless look & feel of a rich client GUI
