The power, flexibility and scalability of Visual DataFlex powered applications have once again been highlighted in leading publications across the globe.
 Legend Performance Technology’s “flexible system the key to smooth operations”
In Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne’s The Age newspapers published the article, Flexible system the key to smooth operations, about Legend Performance Technology boss Bradley Dowe’s preference for keeping his ERP software – built with Visual DataFlex, DataFlex, C++ and Assembly and running on Linux servers with a DB2 backend - “homemade”.
With over $260 million a year in turnover in memory chips and other high tech electronics, Legend’s Dowe says that building the company’s Accsys software system in-house allowed it to tailor the application in ways not possible with commercial software. Adaptability gives Legend an edge, he says; even customers ask where to buy the software.
Accsys now powers most of Legend's operations, including cash flow, debtors, customer details, financial forecasts, electronic data interchange, and production scheduling.

The ASCKEY system features a Windows-and Web based job management application system built using Visual DataFlex and WebApp Server application development tools, and a Web-based benchmarking data entry application powered by VDF’s Web Application Server.
The article focuses on the release of a new service that allows users to remotely access their own fully managed Eclipse-fm installation securely through NHSnet.
ASCKEY’s sales and marketing manager Chris Hibbert says about the new service, “One of the most interesting elements of this has been the hosted nature of the particular site. Scarborough was our pioneering site for this, with a mix of native DataFlex data files and geographically dispersed sites on low bandwidth connections making for sometimes-unusable response times. Reports from the Facilities Department are that performance worries have been eliminated, and we do all their routine database maintenance, as well. Looking ahead, we see this kind of approach becoming more common as end user organizations become more focussed on getting on with the job and less on being computer experts.”
