Global System Manager provides Global 3000 business software and hundreds of industry-specific packages with a platform independent of operating system and hardware. You can select whatever system meets your current needs and be confident that your applications, data and investment in staff training can be transferred to new technologies as they emerge.

Portable And Scalable
Global System Manager is available on a uniquely wide range of hardware - from single-screen Windows PCs through WindowsNT and Novell networks and multi-user Unix computers, supporting as many as 250 concurrent users. Global applications and data are equally portable and scalable, and integrate seamlessly with industry-standard tools in every environment. Your applications can literally move from one environment to another without recompilation.

Multi-Tasking On Every Screen
Global System Manager offers a unique benefit - the facility to run multiple tasks concurrently on every screen, whether it's a PC workstation or a 'dumb' terminal. You can swap at the touch of a key or the click of a mouse between up to nine concurrent tasks. So you can leave lengthy reports printing in background and carry on with other work, or answer account enquiries in the middle of order entry without losing your place. Global multi-tasking delivers real increases in productivity.

Safety And Security
Global System Manager includes fast and effective data backup routines to ensure the physical integrity of your data. Multi-level password and authorisation checking guard against unauthorised access to the system as a whole, to individual modules or to sensitive functions within modules. Operators can be directed to specific functions at sign-on or to personalised menus of their own.

User-Friendly
Global System Manager and applications that run under it are designed for serious business use, and use a simple system of menus, clear English commands and a consistent user interface to ensure maximum productivity. Global System Manager has an extensive set of utilities, including a powerful but friendly print spooler and comprehensive help facilities.

Client/Server Options
Global System Manager offers a range of client/server options, delivering superior performance without requiring a huge investment in database server hardware. On Unix, Global runs in `thin client' mode, with programs and data on the server and workstations handling screen I/O. On Novell, Global runs in a "fat client" mode, with most processing handled by the client and database manipulation being executed on the server. On WindowsNT, Global runs as either a "fat client" or a "thin client".

Future-Proof Computing
Global System Manager protects your investment in business software, however large your business grows, and whatever new directions hardware or operating systems technology take. No other comparable product can make the same promise of future-proof computing.
