| Designing and delivering evolving Open System |
Technologies related to hardware, application software and communications are all touted as
necessary to successfully implementing defining business strategies in a competitive market place.
In addition, “enterprise” capacity has taken on an important new meaning. With the advent of the
“web”, internet computing is quickly expanding to become a core part of a company’s ability to
provide business enhancing solutions and services to clients.
Numerous surveys have shown that, indeed, successful companies in the hospitality vertical
combine business strategies with the technological means to carry out those strategies. That is
not to say, however, that money thrown at technology will guarantee increased profitability, or
that a company has to be big in order to afford technology. Indeed technology is seen by some
as a necessary cost to be minimized as one would minimize waste! |

| Finding standards |
This attitude did not spring from a vacuum. The balkanized nature of rapidly evolving
technological capabilities has not served users well. Technology was being sold for is own sake.
The results can be seen in fractured technology infrastructure, little or no application integration
and systems that do not give current information needed for real time decision making. Support
for disparate systems also has become a nightmare. This approach has guaranteed expensive
obsolescence and garnered user resistance.
Technology is not limited to the introduction of new hardware or application feature sets alone, it
is also related to new systems enabling technologies that result in the development of common
technological infrastructure that can be delivered in an understandable supportable and cost
effective manner. New technical capabilities, related to distributed object and network design
philosophies, programming languages, operating environments and file-handling systems etc., can
all contribute to infrastructure standardization. |

| Systems that evolve |
As technology developers, Datanotix’s programmers believe it is important to deliver systems that
can evolve over time as new application ideas and hardware devices come to the fore. Application
systems can no longer be, simply, point-in-time products. Data will need to be handled in
