Legume: Master Reference System Unlocking your potential

Your teams have a complicated job working together. Bill of Materials Specifications Project Management Equipment Specs Drawings Analysis * Simplified example

Expensive Interactions, Difficult to Synchronize When your data is fragmented, managing your system is expensive and error-prone. Bill of Materials Specifications Project Management Equipment Specs Drawings Analysis Expensive Interactions, Difficult to Synchronize

Your dream? a system that works together. Bill of Materials Specifications Project Management Drawings Analysis Equipment Specs Project Database

Option 1: a single-vendor system Vendor does only part of what you do. Vendor database may be proprietary format. Vendor makes you change the way you do it. Vendor may go out of business.

Option 2: an RDBMS with a custom design RDBMS can be designed and programmed to do what you want. RDBMS engines offer powerful tools for backup, recovery, reporting, and analysis. RDBMS has multiple vendors and provides a stable, long-term format. RDBMS can audit and reverse changes. Expensive to custom-design. MS Office and other tools can access RDBMS data using ANSI-standard SQL interface. Expensive to custom-build. Expensive to custom-change.

Option 3: an RDBMS with a Legume design RDBMS can be designed and programmed to do what you want. RDBMS engines offer powerful tools for backup, recovery, reporting, and analysis. RDBMS has multiple vendors and provides a stable, long-term format. Legume has flexible tables and tools already designed and built, ready to hold your data. MS Office and other tools can access RDBMS data using ANSI-standard SQL interface. Legume automatically accommodates most data changes, without new programming.

Legume’s Special Design Legume stores everything as separate fields of data, in different data types, indexed and tagged. Each piece can now be tracked and managed. Any data you have – tables, records, trees, networks, objects, etc. – can be converted into separate fields and back again. Legume comes with tools that handle conversions, making it easy to convert your data to/from Legume, or interface with other products. Legume can add flexibility to existing databases .

Legume is Scalable Legume gives each field a universal ID, so it can be copied from one database to another without conflicts. Legume gives each field timestamps for managing the publication, distribution, storage, and archival of data between systems. Legume uses a symmetric design, replicated as needed to provide modularity and scalability in many directions.

Upgrade your system incrementally Keep your budget under control and avoid disruptions: Build a Common Library of previous projects, manufacturer specifications and catalogs. Keep a Master Project database to act as the ultimate project reference, for new reporting and analysis capabilities. Resolve discrepancies between CAD files, analysis files, bills of materials, and other data kept in separate data systems. Add new tools to existing spreadsheets, forms, and reports. Replace or augment legacy databases with a more flexible one. And much more…
