Tomax Announces Thin Architecture for Distributed, Real-Time Retail Enterprise05:24 p.m Oct 22, 1998 Eastern SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomax technologies inc. is pleased to announce a new configuration of RETAIL.net enterprise management solutions (EMS) that allows a central processor to directly support distributed point-of-sale workstations across wide area TCP/IP networks. This configuration is ideal for lower volume specialty store retailers that want to eliminate the cost and complexity associated with implementing and maintaining in-store processors but still require sophisticated point-of-sale and 'back office' functions. In many environments, retailers are constrained by both cost and space requirements but still require full storage software capabilities. Based on RETAIL.net EMS distributed architecture, individual POS workstations allow simultaneous access to both point of sale and back office functionality connected to the RETAIL.net EMS corporate server(s) that serves as a 'virtual' in-store processor. The result is all the functionality of a full store configuration without the investment in in-store processor hardware, software, and maintenance. "This is a great configuration for specialty retailers and retailers operating widely dispersed kiosk operations. RETAIL.net EMS takes advantage of today's low cost and access to persistent wide area networks that allow real time update and significantly lower cost," says Virgil Fernandez, Vice President of Software Development at Tomax.
