Modular –
Learning from Nature
VENTAS is extremely flexible and scalable. Customers from a variety of different industries can easily adapt to changes by adding new modules or handling larger volumes of data.
You can start with a few modules and quickly begin being productive. If needed, you can add from a pool of over 1.600 modules that are already available to you. This reduces programming costs and ensures stability so you can focus on your business and expand organically.

Analysts predict that the ERP of the future will be modular, gone are the days of inflexible monolithic structures. We always believed in modularity and so VENTAS was built to be just that.
Nature proves it: larger organisms are built from simple functional units. Swarms too form complex structures based on members that communicate in simple ways with one another.
Figuratively speaking, we were, from the outset, pursuing the same goal. VENTAS consists of a rich library of stable functional units that are being applied to a variety of different functions throughtout our ca. 1.600 program modules. The modules themselves can communicate and exchange data so that the implementation of a process chain is practically only a matter of definition and not an additional, complex programming task, as it would be the case with conventional systems.
This way VENTAS can fulfill the needs of a wide range of industries and makes internal use of synergies which makes adapting to new requirements easy while also keeping the solution stable.
All essential components of VENTAS can be influenced with little effort by using module groups or changing parameters, menus, field labels, reports and documents, etc.
Platform independent
Develop once, deploy many
Modern applications experience an increasing decentralization from the desktop towards a new variety of devices from a veriety of manufacturers. The classical focus of the software environment to one supplier does no longer apply.
To meet these new requirements our customers increasingly demand platform and device independence. Your needs are paramount and determine the solution without hardware limitations.
VENTAS, consequently, vowed to be compatible with all major platforms.

Who could have predicted just a few years ago the upsring of a plethora of new devices that changed the way we interact? And who can know today exactly which developments are awaiting us in the future?
The market’s development has proven us right to go the system independent path as it means we can provide our customers with fast answers to today’s questions.
VENTAS used for its graphical user interface the market’s best technology available, which is used by 500:000 developers around the world. Many well-known programs such as Google Earth, VLC, Skype, as well as the extensive KDE were created with it.
You benefit from the power of commercial open source projects in which we are involved. It is the perfect blend of large development communities coupled with a professional and efficient direction. The advantages are obvious: fast implementation of innovations, capability to run on all platforms and cost reduction.
This strategy aims to provide the optimal technical solutions instead of binding the customer through additional technical requirements.
Reports and Documents –
Quick and Easy
To generate your own reports or documents in VENTAS, all you need is basic knowledge in spreadsheet or word processing. No need to learn a new tool.
Our solution is designed to allow end user in no time to create new reports or make changes to invoice templates.
On-memory functionality, powered by IBM, can be optionally used to handle larger queries.

To define and generate reports and documents, you can use both Microsoft and Open/Libre Office. Another way in which we pursue an independent line to give the customer access to all possibilities.
We rely on the Open Document Format which is among others promoted and used by the European Union as an independent format of the future.
As output formats are available PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, HTML, ODT and ODS.
Forms are filled with numerous, predefined variables that fulfill all practical needs.
Optionally, an on-memory database can be used to greatly reduce the response times of your report queries. This way adequate decisions will be made more swiftly because time is money.
