InterSystems promotes innovative application development
Intraprend wins the 2001 Caché Innovator Award
Darmstadt, May 18, 2001 - InterSystems Corporation and International Data Corporation (IDC) have named the inventory management and production planning system WWS/PPS Manager from Intraprend as the best Caché-based application among 43 nominations worldwide. Ditmar Tybussek, managing director of the company in Wiesbaden, accepted the Caché Innovator Award, which carries a cash prize of 5,000 US dollars, at the beginning of May at the InterSystems Worldwide Developers Conference in Orlando, Florida.
The decisive factors in judging the nominations were: Innovation in the applications themselves, creativity in the use of Caché, and the extent of the technologies used from the post--relational e-DBMS. With WWS/PPS Manager, Intraprend was able to be convincing in all three areas. The jury was particularly enthusiastic about the general Internet-based approach of the inventory management and production control system.
WWS/PPS Manager combines e-commerce, e-shop systems, Internet, Intranet, customer relationship management, and work-flow within the Internet browser's user interface, making true supply chain management possible. This means that the user need no longer leave his Internet browser regardless of whether he is editing data, calling up statistics, recording parameters, or attending to other tasks with the system.
In developing Internet applications such as WWS/PPS Manager, Intraprend particularly values the extensive automatic Web functionalities that InterSystems offers with Caché. Further strengths of the e-DBMS are automatic session management, which allows transaction processing applications for the Web without laborious coding and decoding of status information, and so-called Hyperevents. The latter make it possible to react to any desired events in the browser with server-side application -logic and, as needed, to dynamically modify, supplement, or completely replace the entire HTML page or only individual elements.
"With the Caché Innovator Award we would like to promote the development of innovative Caché applications," explains Michael Ihringer, marketing director for Central and Eastern Europe at InterSystems Corporation. "We are glad that, with WWS/PPS Manager from Intraprend, an application has won that consistently relies upon Internet technology. In this environment, Caché, which, as an e-DBMS, was developed right from the start for the demands of Web-based applications, is able to optimally display its strengths."

and disposition, sales and order processing, a service tool for handling
guarantees, and a personnel module with personnel time recording. PPS Manager
includes bill of goods management, production planning, workshop control,
calculation functions, and the recording of operational data. The WWS/PPS
system, with its graphical user interface, database system, unlimited number
of users, interface generator, mail integration, list and mask -generator,
automatic update function, and language independence, forms the foundation
of the complete software solution.
