BOSTON -- Cornell-Mayo Associates (CMA CMA - Concert Multithread Architecture from DEC. ) today announced the release of Omnistore, a new generation of POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale (point-of-sale) software that is designed for rapid deployment, high performance and a low Total Cost of Ownership. Omnistore delivers on the promise of "store systems anywhere" through a flexible, browser-based solution that can be deployed on any hardware - registers, kiosks or handheld systems - throughout the retail enterprise. The announcement was made today at ERI Eri (ē`rī), in the Bible, son of Gad. eXchange, where CMA will publicly demonstrate Omnistore for the first time at Booth 505 of the Boston Convention Center, June 5th & 6th. Omnistore is the first retail software solution to be developed using the power and productivity of Ruby on Rails, a feature-rich, web-enabled framework that enables very fast application development. Omnistore uses industry-standard web technologies and the data access enabled by Rails to provide store-level and enterprise-level views of store systems, allowing sales data, store information and application control to be delivered anywhere in real time. The centralized administration of Omnistore is a key feature of the solution. Through an enterprise view called Omnistore Central, managers can access "big picture" information for all stores, then instantly drill down to individual store views. A user-configurable dashboard provides at-a-glance access to store status information such as opening and closing status, summary of sales and credit processing, TLOG TLOG Transaction Log TLOG The League of Gentlemen (UK TV show) TLOG Training Log (health & fitness) TLOG Theater Logistics TLOG The Last Of Gracie (Lima, OH band) trickle status, and detailed information about individual registers. As a browser-based system, Omnistore users can operate the system from either Windows or Linux workstations with equal facility, making Omnistore the most open system on the market today. Omnistore not only offers these flexible implementation options, but can be deployed with the thinnest footprint of any POS software available today, lowering the cost of store systems by allowing Omnistore to run on virtually any POS hardware. As a result, retailers can deploy a next-generation, high performance and high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. solution today without being forced to upgrade their hardware. "Omnistore is a bold step forward in store systems technology," said Gene Cornell, president, CMA. "Omnistore delivers on the enterprise promise of Java and .NET-based solutions, with a much lower cost of ownership and faster, easier implementations." Cornell noted that the Ruby on Rails framework provided significant advantages in developing Omnistore. "As a development environment, we have found Ruby to be far more productive than Java," he said. "Ruby represents the state-of-the-art in next-generation, high-performance web technologies, and it has allowed us to incorporate very rich AJAX functionality into Omnistore, drawing upon CMA's 25+ years of experience as one of the retail industry's leading software providers."
