Cadis Software’s component-based architecture provides a common and easily configurable data platform that empowers the business user. Built from the Cadis components, the EDM Suite unites legacy systems and enables firms to bring outsourced data back in-house, while its inherent flexibility supports best-of-breed technology and allows a firm to confidently enter alternative new markets. The open architecture means firms can configure the technology to fit around the needs of its business, rapidly reducing implementation times to as little as three months. The Cadis components are graphical and can be used by a business analyst; with Cadis it is more important to know the data rather than the technology.
