The CLEAR Platform is a standards based .Net application
framework built upon Microsoft best practices in enterprise Smart Client and Service
architectures. The Platform allows for a modular, loosely coupled design for applications,
allowing complex collections of applications to be hosted within a single common workstation tool.
The streamlined architecture allows both out of the box applications, as well as custom
built modules, to be deployed to end users in a fraction of the time of traditional multi-tier
approaches. By combining the CLEAR Platform with Ana-Data's RAD approach to development, organizations
gain advantage of more than ten years of Ana-Data's expertise contributing to build high quality modular
applications in short time, with an efficient means to add on to your workstation as your business needs
grow.
The CLEAR Platform is built leveraging the building blocks of Microsoft's
Composite UI Application
Block. A C# Windows Forms smart client front end sits in front of XML Web Services
utilizing a SQL Server back end for meta data storage. The flexible architecture allows
retooling to fit your specific environment with minimal impact on the front end. The framework's
clear separation of UI from Services, along with separation between UI components, makes
customization, testing and delivery simple. The CLEAR Platform coupled with CLEAR Entry or CLEAR
View provides an instant ROI on your reporting and data maintenance needs.
Rather than have multiple separate applications spread across your organizations, take advantage
of CLEAR's modular approach to provide a single common portal with sophisticated entitlement
capabilities to give your users access to the parts they need. Consolidate those MS Access
applications, MS Excel Macros and other custom tools into an architecture built from the ground
up as a scalable multi user workstation. Changes are isolated to specific modules, without having
to recompile the entire workstation.
