A picture tells a thousand words

This one illustrates beautifully why the financial services desktop is crying out for the Adaptable Blotter.

Our - not untypical - frustrated user is struggling to work across his 10 screens. More than a dozen separate DataGrids are on display, with many screens showing more than one.

But none of those DataGrids is similar. Each requires the user to work differently, will need a different support team, and will be tightly coupled to its own data set. This means that not one of these grids can share data, events, objects (e.g. searches & filters) or functionality.

Each grid will have been produced by a different team, taking more than 6 months to build. It's the equivalent of building a separate, new version of Excel every time you need a spreadsheet. 

The Adaptable Blotter - the market leading HTML5 DataGrid add-on - transforms the system experience for users. It works - out of the box - with any data set, on any desktop.

It goes beyond the functionality provided in each DataGrid in the photo above, and allows for full sharing of data and objects between all instances.

So not only are Adaptable Blotter users more productive and efficient, but once they learn how to benefit from the advanced functions in one system (e.g. charting, audit, alerts, custom columns, Symphony integration etc.) they can transfer these skills across. Likewise they can store state from all their applications in one location, enabling a single team to support multiple systems.

Installation and set up for the Adaptable Blotter is straightforward for any application. The many multiples of six months bespoke effort which went into producing the DataGrids facing our frustrated user, are replaced with just a couple of hours to configure the Adaptable Blotter.
