Solution	After a thorough evaluation of database technologies, INIT selected Versant Object Database. While other structured data for statistics and reports continue to be managed with conventional database technology, they decided to use Versant object databases for applications with complex data and real-time requirements. All components in the MOBILE telematics solution were developed in the Java programming language. For applications with complex data and real-time requirements, INIT always uses Versant object technology. The Versant Object Database is virtually maintenance-free and can be installed with a double click. All configurations are set up automatically by the MOBILE application or by the batch files provided. Read More Log in to view content
