Realizing System Visualization
Concept
SLM (System Lifecycle Management)
A large part of many companies' IT budget is used to maintain systems which may be under-utilized or
unproductive because of the rapidly changing business environment for which these systems are designed.
Extentech envisions the visualization of data processing systems and provides a critical tool with which to
assist in a system's System Lifecycle Management. Visualization of a system can simplify the evaluation of
areas in which a system may be experiencing an increase in "waste" and a decrease in "value". With the
continual minimization and regular improvements of a system that visualization promotes, TCO can be reduced
and the development of a powerful business infrastructure can be realized.

Exteria Flow Development Example
Generally, when building a web-based system, a programmer who has database and servlet
expertise is required. However, with Exteria, even a relatively inexperienced system developer can
build a web system with just a couple of simple drag-and-drop operations.

Example 1.0 Equipment rental company: issue a detailed statement

Exteria Scenario Development Example
Exteria's use of a visual non-programming development environment and Exteria Scenario staging
logic shortens the development time required to implement complex transaction systems.
