43Platform Technology
- PTM is a cross platform application that runs on
an Operating System Upgrade called PTMRT. This
upgrade will install on any Windows9x/NT, 2000,
XP, Macintosh, Linux, or Unix machine. - RT is a real-time application system developed
from 20 years of working with PC MS-DOS
informants. Therefore, with our Platform
Technology, the customer in not required to
upgrade to other expensive operating systems and
hardware platform configurations. - The challenges with speed, real time transactions
and stability you see with standard Windows and
Browser technologies is dramatically reduced - as much as 95.
44Platform Technology
- PTM provides both Browser and Windows
applications to our customers in non-mission
critical areas where speed and transaction speed
is non-essential. -
- Look for a fall release of more GUI/Browser
interfaces and RT program integrations to many of
PTMs other Windows applications. - The following Modules that are rolling out are
- Bookkeeping Payroll
- Truck Sales Unit Leasing Modules
- Vehicle Dealership Financial Preparation
