ARM History
Axcess Relationship Manager (ARM) was initially architected in the mid 1990’s and originally developed in Visual Basic 3. The first sales of ARM occurred in 1995, and the product has undergone significant development and improvement over the years, upgrading with technology from VB3 through to VB6.
Coming up to its 14th birthday, ARM has now undergone a significant upgrade to the “.net platform”. Axcess Consulting Group has always maintained pace with technology, and the progression to .net is simply another step in ensuring we provide solutions for our customers that will not only allow them to stay up to date – but to stay in advance of the competition.
This next generation of software is developed in VB.net (Microsoft’s latest technology platform) and also as important, ARMnet is LIXI (Lending Industry XML Interface) compliant.
The wide variety of .NET tools, services, clients, and servers empowered developers to build powerful software and systems through Web services. The .NET Framework is the programming model underlying .NET for developing, deploying, and running Web services and applications. Web services are units of code that allow programs written in different programming languages and on different platforms to communicate and share data through standard Internet protocols such as, XML, SOAP, Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI).
LIXI (www.lixi.org.au) is an independent industry organisation established to utilise new technologies for the removal of barriers to data exchange within the Australian lending industry. Through LIXI it is intended that member organisations will be able to provide better and faster services to their customers at lower cost. This will be achieved by establishing a platform independent open standard for the format and exchange of lending-related data to replace numerous incompatible and proprietary approaches. |
