ARMnet Functionality

Independence from Software Developers

Developer independence has been achieved by providing the tools and exposing the database to the end user organisation, and thereby enabling them to change the properties of a screen (e.g.: colours, size etc), add or remove fields from the data base, add pop up warnings or include business rules, all without any programming intervention from Axcess.

Hence all of the organisation’s business policies and procedures can be easily incorporated into the system by someone with Business Analyst skills, and as such ARMnet then provides a system containing “business intelligence” that is under the complete control of the end user organisation.

This independence is achieved through the utilisation of the latest Microsoft .NET platform, which makes ARMnet the most advanced financial product and services management tool available on the market today. Such technology also provides the opportunity for our customers to deliver the system on a wider range of devices including PCs, PDAs and mobile phones, effectively enabling staff to take the office with them where ever they need to work.

Legacy systems rarely allow high levels of “personalisation” that is directly under the control of the client, and there is always a need for programmer intervention when ever significant “customisation” is needed. ARMnet on the other hand places almost total control in the hands of a user organisation.

This is achieved by having a “core” component, surrounded by “Service views”, and controls that contain the necessary functionality to manage the day to day requirements of the product or service as well as the business process of the client. ARMnet is distributed with a generic set of portfolio management views based on standard industry requirements, however ARMnet’s core contains all of the functions, calculations and tools necessary if required to modify the existing views or build new ones for a wider range of financial products. A Service View is the actual screen and data fields required to manage the business process and policies associated with any product or service offering.

A wide range of financial product Service View screens are available including:

• mortgage loans,
• leasing,
• personal loans,
• unitised trusts, and
• insurance products
