advanced technology
NCPTS is a technically advanced system that has been designed and built using the latest design, architecture, and development technologies from Rational, Microsoft, and Oracle. Specifically, NCPTS has been built from the ground up to provide the following technical advantages:
Scalability – NCPTS employs a three-tier architecture (presentation, middle, and data) to ensure a smooth growth path and easy maintainability. Each tier contains a set of clearly defined services to eliminate the need to install and maintain software on the desktop and to insulate the user interface from changes in business logic and the database.
Flexibility – NCPTS uses the Rational Unified Process (RUP) object-oriented development methodology to simplify and reduce cost of product modification and enhancement since the objects can be reused. This allows NCPTS to support new statutory requirements and business process improvements quickly and economically.
Interoperability – NCPTS is built on the Microsoft .NET Architecture in Visual C# to lower the cost of enhancements and ownership. The .NET environment was created with the primary objective of ensuring interoperability and supporting integration with the broadest possible set of technologies. NCPTS uses .NET to provide the ability to work with your systems and technologies, now and in the future.
Access to Data – NCPTS stores all of its data in industry-standard RDBMS tables with a published database schema. This allows you to easily extract and/or report on data using reporting and query tools and staff you already employ. In addition, NCPTS includes standard application programming interfaces designed to provide integration and interoperability capabilities. These interfaces are the basis for our GIS integration, and can be used by other applications as well.
