System Overview

EMP is a web-based ERP built on J2EE framework that caters for the needs of franchises and chain stores. It strips down the complexity of big ERP systems , yet bringing the cutting edge EJB technology used by the high end market to the low and middle tier clients at low and middle tier pricing.

 

As an ERP running fully on Open Source, the customers do not need to pay third party licenses e.g. Cold Fusion, Microsoft Server, MS SQL, Citrix Metaframe, Oracle etc. Stable and reliable operating systems and applications like Fedora Linux (by Red Hat) , Solaris, JBoss Application Server, PostgreSQL (heavy duty database) are being used to ensure highest possible availability of the applications for the customers.

 

As EMP is fully J2EE compliant, we allow our customers to choose various operating systems from Windows, Linux to Unix, thus giving our clients the peace of mind to grow their business as fast as they can without worrying about the scalability of their business applications. The power of EMP also lies in its carefully developed application architecture using the best practices like Object Oriented Technology and "Model View Controller" ('MVC') architecture with multi-tier structure to ensure it could be easily customized to suit different customers' requirements.
