RADS Professional

 

RADS Professional is a feature rich add-on software product for the Unisys Business Information Server (BIS, formerly MAPPER). RADS Professional enables quick and cost-effective development and deployment of business applications in a Web or GUI environment. 

RADS Professional can transform your legacy BIS system by adding a new and user-friendly interface.

 

The benefits include: 

• Extending functionality while leveraging your existing investment 

• Eliminating the risk and expense of building a new system from scratch 

• Reducing costs by accelerating your project's time to completion  

• Making your corporate knowledge available to whomever you choose, anytime, anywhere 

 

 

A RADS-powered business application offers capabilities rarely found in Web-based applications today. RADS Professional screens are dynamic, often built with data from multiple sources and transformed into meaningful business information. Built-in features like the Report Tools allow you to perform operations like ad hoc queries, data manipulation, and graphing—all without programming. 

BIS programmers require advanced tools to accelerate application development as well as improve application functionality. The RADS Integrated Development Environment streamlines the design-develop-test-deploy process and enhances team collaboration. The result is that RADS helps programmers build applications more quickly, assemble powerful solutions easily, and deliver high-performance business applications. 

​

A major advantage of RADS Professional is the capability to produce both Windows GUI and Web browser screens with the same development effort. RADS Professional stores screen definitions rather than program code, and separates the user interface and business logic layers of the application. The benefits of this include reduced development and maintenance costs, while providing the same appearance and functionality on both the Windows and Web browser environments. 

​

RADS Professional provides the ideal interface and structure for data mining and decision support. Built-in functionality and services allow the user to extract and store information in a format conducive to data analysis. Data can be presented in a number of ways, and manipulated using a variety of built-in ad hoc tools. When more detail is needed, the drill-down features can be used to explore and expand the data, and discover business trends and discrepancies that were previously hidden. 

​

With RADS Professional, there is now a proven, cost effective, and rapid solution to outdated, 'green-screen' systems. Save time, programming effort, and money by modernizing existing legacy applications rather than completely rebuilding them, because rebuilding usually requires investing in new database, software, and programming skill sets.
