Advanced Output Management (AOM)

The Challenge: A Need for Advanced Automation

Today’s data center faces increasingly complex and rigorous demands. Massive amounts of information must be stored, accessed, reported and distributed. Time is critical. Security must be absolute. As user expectations spiral upwards, efficiency has to improve and costs have to go down. Perfection is expected and conflicting demands challenge even the best organizations. The need is for automation. The solution is Advanced Output Management.

The power of Advanced Output Management

Advanced Output Management (AOM) from Mantissa is the most powerful automation solution available for report distribution and output management.

The AOM product line consists of the Report Management System family:

Together these systems deliver the robust capabilities, extensibility and reliability crucial to today’s data center operation. No other system offers the power and capabilities of AOM. No other system even comes close.

Beyond the quick fix

In the years since we invented the technology, several other products have been developed which offer the basic benefits of automated report distribution. Such benefits as control and reduction of printed output, reduced distribution errors and decreased application maintenance are now easily achieved. AOM goes well beyond those benefits to deliver a cohesive, tightly integrated, complete solution.

With AOM you'll enhance the usability of information, far exceed user expectations, gain maximum use of existing systems and facilities, and position your company to take full advantage of future advances in technology. You'll recover your capital outlay in record time and never find yourself against a wall that will stop you short of achieving your goals.

A Family of Uniquely Capable Products

AOM is a cohesive and comprehensive family of products which automates the distribution, viewing and tracking of computer-generated reports. AOM fully automates all daily report distribution activities. The system automatically handles packet creation, banner page generation, tracking and archiving of reports from multiple applications (mainframe or PC). Reports are automatically directed to print, VTAM device, microfiche, online viewing, PC or other media. With AOM you can achieve a paperless report distribution strategy, with redistribution possible at will, by the page or report.

The layered architecture of AOM gives you the freedom to install the entire system all at once or one component at a time. Each component you add results in significant cost reductions and improvements in productivity for a quick return on your investment.

The Power of Flexibility

AOM systems represent the most cohesive and comprehensive family of products available for report distribution and management. AOM is both vertically and laterally cohesive. This means that each AOM product is compatible with all other
Mantissa products as well as the other systems and applications you use. Our layered approach allows you to install your system all at once, or build the system one step at a time. This flexibility lets you add and refine components to meet your specific needs.

A strategy that has been refined for over 25 years

RMS/Online®, the cornerstone of the AOM line, is one of the most powerful automation solutions available for Big Iron report distribution and management. Nearly three decades of refinement enables Mantissa's RMS to support some of the highest volume data center installations in the world. No other system offers the power and capabilities of RMS/Online.

Its unique AFTER(Asynchronous Functional Task Execution and Resolution) architecture gives it capabilities that reduce overhead and save processing time. AFTER is a completely different approach to output management based on 28 years of experience and counting. Simply put, AFTER technology is a complete re-examination of core output management requirements that shifts non-essential tasks to other asynchronously executing tasks, giving you up to 5 times the performance and throughput of competing report management systems. The result is that information is delivered faster and system bandwidth is freed up to give you incredible capacity. RMS/Online delivers the robust capability, extensibility and reliability crucial to today's data center operation.

Mission critical is an understatement

With RMS, 24x7x365 operation is a reality. You never shut down your system for back-ups or restores. This non-stop capability gives you reliability beyond the standard — your operation is assured during peak operation loads, when uptime is crucial and downtime can be disastrous.

Imagine managing one billion lines of report data in one day. Consider 2 terabyte capacity, 1.9 million viewable reports per month. Imagine processing 700,000 transactions per day against a single repository with sub-second response times. No other system anywhere can handle this level of activity as efficiently. For RMS, it’s all in a day’s work.

The Power of Reliability

Corporations worldwide depend on
RMS for trouble-free operation. It is absolutely the most powerful,capable and reliable report distribution and management system available. Our customers are among the most demanding data centers in existence, and include the largest banks in the world. The unlimited capacity of RMS enables it to flawlessly handle operations where the smallest error or delay can cost millions of dollars. These enterprises utilize RMS around the clock to manage the flow of massive amounts of information.
