That's it! The rest of the magic happens behind the scenes.
Features:
There's a lot of magic, but there is no part of the data you can not access. We've provided a separate administrative menu, because most employees do not have a need to access these resources. The admin features can optionally be password protected.
Features are similar to PubAssist. However, a unified product that is deployed as a web application allows us to further streamline operations.
Browser based...Illumination will work for all personal computers, Macs, PCs, Linux, even your phone!
New Single-Page Application Paradigm
This new application paradigm minimizes your learning curve.
The single-page application (SPA) approach is consistent across all of the functions in Illumination. The SPA allows you to quickly find, sort, and filter the resource you choose. Any instance can be edited directly...even from a phone!
What You See is What You Get!
It's an old computer cliche', but a good one. Each transactional function begins with a printer ready report. As you update the transaction... the report is updated automatically!
Highlighted areas of the report are "hot links" directly into appropriate steps in the transaction wizard.
"Wizards of Efficiency"
Each transaction is a "wizard" that guides you through each step...except you can perform any step in any order!
Security!
Each application checks to ensure that the user is authorized for that application. Only one login is needed.
Scalable!
Illumination is build using RAPIDS.
RAPIDS is REST compliant!
RAPIDS uses ODBC to allow a variety of database technologies.
The primary database technology employed is MariaDb.
If you are familiar with these terms and technologies, then you know what they mean for scalability. If not, contact us! We'll be delighted to explain.
