SmartData software is a platform independent, virus immune, interactive general-purpose data acquisition, archiving, analysis and presentation system. SmartData has created various industry-specific products from the SmartData "template". The patent was filed in August 2001 and SmartData serves Fortune 500 environments across multiple verticals.

Because of its unique architecture, SmartData reduces and/or eliminates the need for expensive custom code to implement data and automation projects. SmartData is configurable on-line via "point-and-click" mouse operations and/or data file editing. SmartData applications are assembled with "SmartBlocks™", which are intelligent objects that alter their behavior as needed to reflect the specific needs of the application. This powerful and flexible architecture transcends traditional programming methods and gives your applications a much longer lifetime.

Incorporating the Oracle database for data archiving, SmartData can operate with any desktop platform including Windows-2000, Windows NT, Windows-98, Windows-95, Windows-3.1, Macintosh, OVMS, Unix and even Linux, which is rapidly gaining market share. Attributes of SmartData software follow:

Architecture
• SmartData's architecture is client-server.
• Object-oriented programming is used for the ||graphic display objects and the user interface ||objects.
• In areas where duplication of the object's ||methods is not appropriate, standard multi-|| ||thread programming techniques are used.
• Vendor-specific language extensions are ||assiduously avoided to guarantee compatibility ||with future releases.
• All display objects are designed and written ||completely independently from the display ||hardware and client platform. They are easier to ||write, test, debug and they work correctly on all ||client platforms.
Database
• SmartData uses Oracle(TM) as its database.
||Interfaces
• SmartData interfaces to ERP/MRP systems, ||including PeopleSoft, SAP and Oracle.
• SmartData can also interface to legacy systems ||for HR, AR/AP/GL and to MES systems.
Standards and Compliance
• SmartData can help provide automation support ||for ISO-9xxx compliance and ISO-14xxx ||compliance
• EPA compliance, including 40CFR part 60, 40CFR ||part 75
• FDA compliance, including 21CFR part 11.
• Internally, SmartData obeys all relevant multi- ||platform/multi-vendor IEEE, ACM and POSIX ||interface standards, which ensures ||interoperability, platform independence and ||maximum lifetime
