A Complete Beginning-to-End Rapid Application Development System

Cincom MANTIS® is a comprehensive business application development system that is designed to increase productivity in all areas of application development—from initial design through production. By providing a high-level programming language and design facilities for creating MANTIS objects (forms, files, processes, etc.), MANTIS enables users to easily and effectively design, test and deploy business applications collaboratively.

The innovative MANTIS environment makes it easy to work with the end-user to define and refine a business application. Then, it’s easy to test and evolve the initial application into your production environment and/or integrate it with your other applications.

And, MANTIS programs are completely portable across the most popular commercially available platforms. You can develop applications on one platform and port them for processing on another.

A component of Cincom MANTIS®, Cincom AD/Advantage® automates application development activities in each phase of the application lifecycle. Its open architecture simplifies integration with other products by insulating developers from the hardware/software platform. AD/Advantage's fully integrated, interactive environment improves productivity in each development phase, from analysis and design through implementation and maintenance.

With AD/Advantage, you can:

• Increase productivity throughout your entire organization.
• Allow developers to focus on your business problems instead of writing code.
• Deliver new, high-performance applications to your end-users more quickly than with alternate approaches.
• Slash the time you spend maintaining production applications, or customizing "off the shelf" packages, by applying more automation to the development and maintenance process.
• Maximize the return on your investment in new applications.

Cincom MANTIS® Platform Neutrality

From the outset, MANTIS has been designed to be portable across computing environments. If your environment changes (e.g., from mainframe z/OS to a Linux Server), MANTIS objects can be rapidly and easily ported to the new platform with little or no changes required. MANTIS is available for most of today’s commercial computing environments, including: IBM z/OS, IBM VSE, most UNIX platforms, most Linux platforms, OpenVMS and Windows Server.
