Hornet XK is a total realisation of the objectives of Open Systems.

At its core is SQL - the industry standard language for creating and manipulating relational databases. SQL is a direct channel that lets data flow freely between Hornet XK, your relational data-base (e.g. Informix, Oracle, Ingres etc.), and any other application in your corporate system.

Project management no longer needs to be a peripheral or remote activity - it can be brought centre stage to interact with all other management information systems.

Hornet XK is unique - a complete project management system without the limits imposed by other software systems.

Capacity is limited only by the power and size of the computer - not software. With the capacity of today's machines, whether you are managing the world's largest projects or any number of small projects, all information can be consolidated in one coherent system.

By exploiting the multi-user features of the Unix environment, organisations can structure their projects to have complete management information available at any level.

Hornet XK is a powerful tool that helps organisations optimise resources. With a multi-level multi-project database at its core, Hornet XK quickly identifies which resources are required by which projects to meet priorities and deadlines.

A project's status is easy to establish - resources quantities and costs will always be known because Hornet comes with the calculation flexibility capable of getting to the heart of project information.

Hornet XK makes project management intuitive - even for the first time user.

Screens are organised to reflect the way a project is planned and developed. Data structures are laid out how projects are organised - and wrapped in an easy-to-use envelope of tiled menus, pop-up selection panels, action bars, help systems and mouse driven pull-down menus.

Since Hornet conforms to Motif standards, its interface is also compatible with the computer industry's most popular operating environments.

While Hornet XK's standard screens, menus, reports and structure are the natural choice, companies needing customised project management systems with their own look and feel can easily achieve them.

Hornet XK can be completely redefined to form one that works best for you and your organisation. Purpose designed editors allow creation of bespoke libraries of reports - with the entire system tailored to individual or group requirements. No other project management system offers such flexibility behind such an easy-to-use system.

Clear reports are the most important part of any system and Hornet provides all that is needed in this vital area.

A range of standard tabular reports is backed up by flexible graphical capability that stretches across the whole range of output devices available.

Hornet permits development of tailored reports to ensure consistency throughout an organisation - improving understanding and communication.
