 Overview

Since the company was founded, ARCAD Software has focused on the performance and rich functionality of our products, continually attentive to overall quality and customer satisfaction. Today we are seeing the advantages of this approach: the ARCAD product range has the highest level of integration and widest functional scope on the market.

ARCAD-Open Repository: The heart of ARCAD technology

The ARCAD suites are built around a single central repository, or application knowledge base. For either externally developed or in-house software, the repository provides a uniform view of the entire legacy application and its inter-dependencies, regardless of technology (IBM i, Windows, UNIX, Linux). Using the integrated audit functions of ARCAD-Open Repository, application-restructuring projects become simple and efficient. Many customers have reduced the volume of code in maintenance by 50%.

ARCAD-Skipper : Structured organization of application change

The ARCAD-Skipper suite is an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) toolset that covers Software Configuration Management methodologies, version control, and deployment. From user request handling up to transfer of new versions to production, ARCAD-Skipper secures a general framework for all change processes.

 

 

 

 

ARCAD-Observer : Capitalize on functional and technical knowledge

observer.gifThe ARCAD-Observer suite contributes application intelligence for maintaining and transferring knowledge about existing systems. Whether the context is application maintenance or modernization, the basic needs are the same: to find information within complex application architectures and have ready access to technical documentation that is guaranteed to be relevant and up to date.

 

 

 

 

ARCAD-Qualifier : Automate the testing process

The ARCAD-Qualifier software testing suite covers extraction of coherent production data for testing purposes and management of regression test scenarios to ensure automatic replay after an application change. It is unique in that it was specifically built to meet the needs of IBM i users.

 

 

 

 

ARCAD-Customer : Your quality-of-service architect

The ARCAD-Customer help-desk offers a simple and effective solution for technical support. ARCAD-Customer takes end user relations to a new level and extends management and control over technical support activity.

 

 

 

 

AN INTEGRATED PRODUCT LINE...

A defining characteristic of our solution is its integrated approach. The product line is built around a common core: the ARCAD-Open Repository - the result of more than 15 years of expertise in application analysis.

A MODULAR, OPEN PRODUCT SET

With our open and modular architecture, you can acquire each solution when needed to complement your requirements. Your system develops at the same pace as your organization.

Thanks to their open architecture, ARCAD products can be customized or they can be used in standard format. This makes them a good choice to meet evolving requirements for a wide range of customers.

STRENGTHS

  • A multi-technology offering: Our R&D team, with experts in native, client/server, and Web development, prides itself on its versatility,
  • An integrated product set: The ARCAD suites were developed by the same team. This has favored natural linkages between the various suites, resulting in productivity features that are unique in the ALM market,
  • An "integrate-able" offer: Thanks to our open architecture, you can easily integrate ARCAD products with other development tools, particularly CASE tools.

The Open Repository core is also equipped with an internal process and list manager that allows users to audit and restructure the ARCAD modules and build highly customized solutions in just days. The products are distributed with standard "macro-commands" that you can adapt for your own needs.
