By providing an innovative, state-of-the-art, and service-oriented development framework for the management of information, Alero software offers comprehensive technology benefits:

• One solution for any segment of the market - Unlike many vendors in the market that force their partners to use different solutions for different segments of the market due to price restrictions, Alero partners can start with Alero Express, which is a cost-sensitive solution for customers with small requirements or limited budget, and grow to Alero Enterprise Edition, which can meet even the most complex requirements in terms of transactions, volumes, and performance.

• Single, unified information management framework - Alero has been designed and developed from the ground up using a consistent architecture that delivers a single, unified framework for the management of information.

• Embeddable component software/Complete packaged solution - Designed primarily to be used as the foundation for complete new solutions, to be embedded into existing business applications, or to be used as a complete packaged solution, Alero’s innovative approach to information management and development shortens the development time and the time to market

• Designed for ad-hoc as well as high volume production environments - The same software that can run in a laptop for demo purposes can also run in a server, mid-range server or a mainframe to meet even the most strenuous performance and productivity requirements.

• Integrates multiple technologies under one consistent architecture - Customers get a myriad of services and technologies in one unified, consistent framework, saving time in costly product developments, integrations, maintenance, and support, simplifying complex projects, and reducing the total time and costs associated with these projects.

• Enterprise Virtualization - Organizations are comprised of multiple disparate systems (repositories), each of them addressing specific business needs. However, today's software solutions should not create silos of information but should integrate with existing solutions. Alero's integration capabilities can orchestrate these repositories and exposed them to users, programmers, and administrators securely as one virtual repository.

• True Enterprise Information Management - Alero was designed to deal with potentially any type of information under one single, uniform framework.

• Unparallel performance, scalability, and reliability - By design, Alero can span servers, platforms, databases, and locations to meet even the most complex performance, scalability and reliability requirements.

• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) - By dramatically reducing the time and costs associated with development, deployment, maintenance and support of your solutions, Alero provides the lowest TCO of any solution, primarily if you are a solution provider in the middle and upper segments of the market.

By reducing information management costs and streamlining application projects, Alero software offers rapid return on investment:

• Reduce cost and time-to-solution - By simplifying development and integration and by providing a wealth of services in a component based framework, Alero helps you meet business goals for critical projects faster, cheaper, and with less risks.

• Improve efficiency - By eliminating the need for costly data or application integration and by unifying and standardizing the access, management, and integration of information, Alero optimizes and streamlines your organization.

• Reduce complexity - By virtualizing the entire enterprise and by providing one central point of configuration for the entire system, Alero simplifies accessing managing, integrating and securing information and the system.

• Accelerate business processes and improve decision-making - By facilitating the access to real-time data and by integrating on demand, Alero shortens business cycles and provides live information to decision-makers at all levels more efficiently.
