As announced last September, TI has been developing the IEF for four years, supported by significant customer involvement since August, 1985. This initial commercial release includes the Mainframe Encyclopedia and two PC-based components, the Analysis Toolset and the Design Toolset. The cornerstone of the IEF is the Mainframe Encyclopedia, a central repository for all business and systems information collected with the PC toolsets. It supports data administration, control functions and many types of reporting. Automatic transformation of information from the Analysis Toolset to the Design Toolset eliminates redundant effort and improves overall system development quality.
Quantity discounts are available on all components.
