DC Concept - Company Profile

DC Concept Inc. is a young and progressive dynamically developing company. It was founded in 2000 by a group of professionals who had many years of experience in the field of information technology.

DC Concept has developed several top object technologies whereby it sets new progressive trends in the area of multi-tier object database application development. Its headquarters is in Brno, often called the "Czech Silicon Valley".

The approach to the development of software in DC Concept could be defined by this statement:

"We look at things from a different, unusual angle. We search for ways where others don't."

An actual result of this approach as well as the main product is the object information system - QI with integrated CASE tool for the development and modification of applications - QI Builder that was developed in 1996. Its first installation for a customer was in 2001. Since then, hundreds of licenses have been provided. As compared to the best contemporary development tools of top companies worldwide, the database applications are usually developed about eight times faster with the help of QI Builder.

The system is available in English, Czech and Slovak. The applications respect Czech and Slovak legislation; language and legislative localization for other countries is under development. QI is the first product that can really be applied to either small or large customers. For all categories of customers, its elasticity conforms to the needs in technology, applications and also to business policy.
The QI system applications are the most progressive and effective tools for company management. They are designated in particular for industry, trade and services and government administration. DC Concept also coordinates a network of developer companies specialized in QI application implementation in specific areas such as special manufacturing power distribution, transportation, forwarding, as well as others.

The main DC Concept product is the QI information system that is absolutely unique with its overall concept as well as high concentration of top technology. It is a modular information system including an integrated development environment for fast development and implementation of applications used in various fields.

The QI system can be either a simple information system for trade organizations as well as a powerful robust tool for medium-sized manufacturing company management It can equally be applied as a large-scale custom solution for large organizations as well as government administration.

The main advantage of QI system is its elasticity and quick reaction time to changes inside and outside the organization and applies these changes smoothly during the running of the system for technology as well as license policy.

The QI information system is an open system; it is representative of the multi-tier Client/Server architecture. QI applications are developed and distributed by the new generation integrated CASE tool - QI Builder. This tool allows the analysts to develop new applications without the need to use any other development tools and extensive knowledge of programming. It also provides the implementation partners with the tools for fast and effective conformation to a customer's needs. QI supports the parallel working of users in multiple languages. To use it in the ASP form, it is possible is to make the full functionality accessible via a web browser. QI also enables distributed data processing - e.g. on remote workplaces, electronic document transfer via e-mail messages, data exports and imports respectively, also in XML format.
