Exception Reporting

The Challenge: Supporting business logic triggers, without data repositories

Exception reporting and logic triggers are powerful tools in managing a business. The problem is it can be very difficult, expensive, and time consuming to utilize data that is not in some type of data repository.

Since repositories are expensive, only the most important data is typically included. This may hamper your ability to implement business rules, because the required data is missing.

What is needed is a means to utilize these legacy data sources, quickly and inexpensively. This would allow many more opportunities to utilize these powerful techniques.

This is exactly what Arbutus Offers!
