长期从事AS/400应用软件开发的Infinium软件公司研制出了一个在Windows NT服务器上运行的企业人力资源管理和财务管理套件。这些新的应用软件用C++语言写成,部可以运行于Windows 95和Windows NT上。其它类型应用套件,如用于资料管理和加工制造的套件,可能也将在年底前逐步问世。这些NT应用软件的价格尚未确定。 Infinium大约在一年前开始开发人力资源套件。而财务应用软件的开发则基于Infinium去年购买英国的Time Open Systems公司后所获得的技术。分析家说,Infinium此举是将其在企业应用领域丰富的技能带入NT市场。Aberdeen Group分析家Ed Black说:“他们已经奋斗了数年时间终于找到一种不同寻常的方法,将他们在开发AS/400应用方面的专门技巧带入基于对象技术的领域。这不是一件容易的事。” Infinium仍将继续开发以AS/400为服务器的客户机/服务器应用。下个月,该公司将发布针对其人力资源应用软件的Web前端。这种新的Web应用程序名为Intemet Self-Service,它提供多级口令保护,允许雇员浏览自己的个人信息并进行合法修改。它将作为维护升级的一部分提供给现有客户,预计其它基于Web的应用软件也将逐步问世。
Infinium Software, which has long been engaged in the development of AS/400 application software, has developed an enterprise human resources management and financial management suite that runs on Windows NT servers. These new applications are written in C++ and the department runs on Windows 95 and Windows NT. Other types of application suites, such as kits for data management and manufacturing, may also be available by the end of the year. The price of these NT applications has not yet been determined. Infinium began developing human resources suites about a year ago. The development of financial applications was based on the technology acquired by Infinium after it purchased British Time Open Systems last year. Analysts said that Infinium’s move is to bring its rich expertise in the field of enterprise applications to the NT market. Aberdeen Group analyst Ed Black said: “They have struggled for years to finally find an unusual way to bring their expertise in the development of AS/400 applications into the field of object-based technology. This is not an easy task. ”." Infinium will continue to develop client/server applications with AS/400 servers. Next month, the company will release Web frontends for its human resources applications. This new Web application is called Internet Self-Service, which provides multiple levels of password protection, allowing employees to browse their personal information and make legal changes. It will be made available to existing customers as part of the maintenance upgrade, and it is expected that other Web-based applications will also come out.
