The 100% Java implementation of CR-X lends itself to cross-platform deployment and is equally at home running on Windows-based platforms or various flavors of Linux, UNIX and IBM mainframe based POSIX. CR-X is engineered to comply with a number of specific and challenging technical requirements:

Data Format Independence: CR-X uses the raw formats of upstream and downstream applications. No proprietary data model is required.

High Maintainability (Error Reduction): Dictionary Driven, Self-Documenting, built-in Change Management, Self Verification.

Fast Project Development: Productive GUI with no coding. Develop projects in hours or days instead of weeks or months. Extensible: users can plug-in their own functionality.

High Performance: 100's of millions of records per hour on commodity hardware. SMP and distributed operation, no redundant storage of data in databases. Network-aware architecture for Glasshouse or Distributed operation.

Platform Independence: Java Powered.

Reduced Skill Requirements: Modern GUI, pick-from-list operation, no learning of new languages.

Long-term Reliability and Backwards Compatibility: Negligible support demands from operational systems. User configurations are independent from engine software enhancements.

In CR-X's powerful lights-out automated task processing, the analyst can specify high level functions such as:

  • Validate
  • Correct
  • Filter
  • Sort
  • Summarise
  • Mediate
  • Translate
  • Rate
  • Merge
  • Split
  • Aggregate
  • Correlate
  • Find duplicates
  • Find overlaps

 

In addition to these base functions, CR-X supports application-specific extensions via its plug-in extensibility, allowing technical staff to write custom application functions and data stream drivers.
