| Case Study 1 - Working Within A Multiple Platform Environment | |
| A large corporate customer with a variety of mini and mainframe systems need to access data on these systems from a mixture of Mac and Windows based computers. | |
| Case Study 2 - Automatic Capture of Financial Data | |
| A financial controller requiring accurate information on the balance of various accounts at the start of each day. The system needs to be easy to use so that administrative staff can capture the data and prepare it for use. | |
| Case Study 3 - Front-Ending A Host Application | |
| A small department within a large company stores large volumes of documentation on a Sun UNIX system running a text retrieval application. The Sun and the Macintosh are on an Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The Macintosh users required access to the text retrieval application through a simple and easy to use interface. | |
| Case Study 4 - Accessing Host Based Data | |
| An organisation runs an enrolment, membership and invoicing system on an RS/6000 UNIX system. This system produced reports, which were subsequently sent to local printers. This meant that for further analysis of reports and production of management accounts, data had to be re-entered into spreadsheets. | |
| Case Study 5 - Automatic Conversion of Data | |
| Department within a large company had a requirement to send press release documents to the London Stock Exchange using a dial-up connection system. The documents were created in MS Word using postscript fonts in the company corporate style using bold, tabs, italics etc. The Stock Exchange computer is unable to read MS Word documents and will only accept limited styles and fonts. The original press release document had to be manually changed in font, style and file format before it could be sent to the Stock Exchange which was a very time consuming operation. | |
| Case Study 6 - Moving Data from One Incompatible Host To Another | |
| A large company with a mixture of DEC VAX and Bull systems running on different networks wanted to use Macintosh computers as their desktop computers but also required access to both host environments from the Macintosh. The Bull mini DPS 6 systems are mainly used for word processing and have large quantities of WP documents already archived on them. The Bull mainframes have huge databases of hundreds of thousands of customer records. The VAX systems perform newer functions including electronic mail service using All-in-One. The Macintosh users wanted to be able to move data generally from the Bull systems to the VAX and in particular to be able to attach WP documents created on the Bull (DPS 6) to an All-in-One mail message. | |
