Tp.net; Tpli Nux; Tech No Lo Gy Eva Lua Ti On - Wincor Nixdorf BEETLE S-II User Manual

TP.net

TP.net combines Trading Post's basic technologies and concepts (e.g.
Microsoft operating systems, ARTS, Microsoft databases, XML or OPOS)
with Microsoft .NET technologies and extensive functionality. This
functionality can easily be extended with the aid of sophisticated
customizing and tailoring mechanisms. Plug-in components meet national or
custom requirements without having to relinquish the advantages that a
standard product has to offer. This feature enables Wincor Nixdorf's offices
and software development partners to handle software projects on their
own. In the medium term, Microsoft .NET technology will make it possible to
run the same application on mobile devices.

TPLi nux

CALYPSO/TPLinux runs under the Linux operating system both on the store
server and on the POS system. This homogeneous operating system
environment means that the application can be deployed in a client/server
environment at hypermarkets or on a stand-alone system. In addition, using
Linux on POS systems not only supports international retailers' IT migration
strategies but is also ideal for providing dedicated add-ons such as a
POS-touch-GUI and extending the product on the basis of state-of-the-art
technologies. Wincor Nixdorf has demonstrated this with TPLinux which is
the direct successor to CALYPSO. Featuring new technologies (XML
interfaces, Java, Web GUI for the back store, and relational databases), this
product is the foundation for a new generation of Linux front store software
that unites innovative technologies, CALYPSO's internationally proven
functionality, and great flexibility in communicating with other systems in a
given retail IT infrastructure.

The further development of Wincor Nixdorf retail solutions takes place in
dialog with its customers. Before being included in existing products, new
trends and technologies are carefully examined with regard to their
readiness for the market. To ensure market acceptance and market
orientation in the selection of technologies, Wincor Nixdorf conducts
technology evaluation projects with its customers and partners. This
significantly reduces technological risks.
