All our software is multilingual, multi-stock and multi-platform. It includes rich interfaces and web 2.0 interfaces. We produce an open software that offers:
- the ODBC and .NET interfaces that guarantee an easy integration to different types of databases (Oracle, SQL/Server, mySQL, etc.) and developing tools (Visual Studio, PHP, ASP, Net, etc.);
- web services;
- main file exchange standards (import/export), such as SQL, IPTC, XMP and XML.
Parameter setting and organizing data
Our software features very effective tools for designing the
documentary applications. The user creates an outline to his
application, by describing the structure of his database directly in
the software under the control of the Armadillo dictionary. The
software then generates the parameter settings and the database
structure (SQL tables).
The ARMADILLO software packages are particularly flexible. The database
structure can be modified as needed, avoiding an expensive and
complicated process of adaptation over the time. None of the
documentary structures are predefined, which allows them to fit the
best to the problematics of each professional sphere.
Real management of the various types of media
ARMADILLO software manages all types of media (photo, video, sound, etc.), as well as their different formats and versions, composite media or media grouped by projects. Our software offers different features, specific to each type of media.
Search performances
The same physical container can have as many logical databases (or
files) as needed, in other words one can create several documentary
funds with different structures.
These databases can be organized hierarchically on several levels (ex.:
collection / report / photo / item).
Each logical database can contain an unlimited number of documentary
indexes each composed of unlimited number of categories.
Some of the fields can be shared between several bases for transverse
questioning.
Our search engine shows excellent results in combining structured
criterion and keywords search (see « Armadillo technology
») inside of one or more voluminous funds.
Secured management of the information stream
ARMADILLO software supports combined management of the
multimedia data by various actors (contributors, internal applicants or
customers and external applicants).
The dynamic management of the distribution rules, access rights and
profiles allows controlling the rights on media in real time.
