"As well as our JADE applications, we run a number of other core systems on different database and technology platforms. JADE has proven itself to be the most reliable and robust by far and we are increasing our use of it for mission-critical 24x7 applications. However, unlike some other technologies, JADE requires very little system administration. Although we have two people who are skilled in this aspect of JADE, they typically spend less than 5% of their time doing such work, enabling them to concentrate instead on more productive work that is of real business benefit." "Within the UK Rail Industry, any system in the Train Planning or Operations area must interface with many other systems, some of which are owned by other rail companies. To manage this complexity, we are committed to a 'best-of-breed' approach, where the resulting system interfaces are aligned with process boundaries and are implemented using an open architecture. We have been delighted to be an early adopter of JADE's Web Services and using this has enabled us to realise this vision in a straightforward and reliable manner." Dave Fidal
"Our Greentree business management suite is used by over 700 customers around the world and sales are better than ever. With JADE, we have tailored Greentree for SMEs from the ground up. Greentree software is both smart and flexible, and easy to configure and maintain. Our customer feedback tells us the full integration with other desktop tools is a real advantage. Thanks to JADE we are able to seamlessly deliver continuous increments of new functionality for customers, thereby adding value to their business. We achieve this without doing the typical vendor things like putting up maintenance rates. Our developers are incredibly productive and enjoy the innovative opportunities that Jade provides. Crucially, JADE is developer-friendly for collaborative ventures, making it ideal for customer-oriented teams. With JADE we see no boundaries." Peter Dickinson
"JADE enables the entire server-side of Greentree to be encapsulated in a single installation directory. This greatly simplifies system administration and makes Greentree reliable, robust, and extremely cost effective from an IT perspective. We can easily run multiple independent, isolated installations on the same machine without them affecting each other, which is great for development and testing." Stephen Sims
"Our JADE system is critical to the operation of our organisation, particularly our communications with our supporters and management of child sponsorships. Since going live, it has met all performance demands, with absolutely no unscheduled outages. The reliability of the JADE platform and JADE Care24 managed service has been excellent." Andrea Spurdle
"JADE is great for small, agile, collaborative development teams like ourselves. Teams of customer-oriented, solution-focused developers who get a kick out of getting on and delivering stuff. JADE enables us to achieve a high degree of code reuse and with its seamless database integration we have less code to worry about reusing. Since 1996, JADE has given us a real solid platform that we can rely on. A single platform on which we can build large commercial systems that can scale from small, inexpensive hardware to high-end servers. It has never let us or our customers down." Allan Baird
"In addition to our own core JADE systems, Skipton Building Society manages a number of large, critical, online JADE systems for other organizations. Several of these systems must feed data into a large SQL Server data warehouse that is used to provide BI information to customers. RPS makes it easy for us to automatically replicate data from the online JADE systems to SQL Server, in near real-time. With the high performance of RPS we have seen significant reductions in CPU utilisation and batch processing time." Mark Christensen
"We have used SQL Server and Microsoft's Business Intelligence tools for our data warehousing needs for more than four years. The ETL process is an important element of any data warehouse to ensure that data is loaded quickly and accurately. RPS in JADE 6.1 delivers an automated and seamless mechanism to transfer data from our core online JADE systems to SQL Server. This will provide us with a cost-effective approach to significantly improve the availability, performance, scalability and security of the first stage of our ETL process." Debbie Richardson
"Port Otago Ltd uses JADE for the Container Management System that drives their business. We have been providing IT services to Port Otago since 1998 to administer their JADE system and have been delivering services for other technologies and databases since 1989. Compared to similar database platforms in use at the Port, JADE is by far the easiest platform to look after and requires minimal effort to manage and maintain. This is a critical business application and its stability, up-time and low maintenance is impressive. Compared to database platforms we maintain in other businesses, JADE stands out as the platform that requires the least amount of support." Ron Jack
"We have selected our JADE Student Management System (JSMS) to perform all of our enrolment and administration activities for over 15,000 students each year. As part of our commitment to the needs of students, our own IT staff have integrated our .NET web site with JSMS to make online services and real-time information available to students. This enables us to have flexible control of our web site and take advantage of all of the processes, business rules and data provided by JSMS to deliver new services to students. XML and Web Services have been essential to making this work and JADE's support for these standards has been integral in this successful integration." Dr John Vargo
