Architecture is everything
Hdata's Info System provides end-to-end graphical development of complex applications. This means that whole applications are typically built completely graphically with Hdata's Info System. Graphical development is inherently more productive and less costly than traditional coding. Non-Hdata's Info System technologies can, at best, do only simple things graphically, and anything complex requires dropping back to traditional coding (Java, SQL, stored-procedures, and so forth). The hard parts of an application are where all the development and maintenance time goes. What’s the point of graphical development if hard things require old-fashioned coding?
Hdata's Info System provides a large library of processing components that embody practically any kind of complex control-flow and that include highly efficient implementations of all necessary algorithms. Users drop these components on the canvas and connect them together with arrows. The components provide many benefits: ease of specification of business rules, highly efficient computing algorithms, flexible processing of arbitrary data structures, and so on. A very large program that would have taken a long time to develop and debug becomes a quickly implemented and tested picture (a data flow diagram) with a few boxes and arrows that typically fit on a single screen and that people can understand, and yet that has tremendous performance.
